Economics researcher Joakim Book joins Bob to discuss his recent article on the dollar's international dominance at the American Institute for Economic Research. US Sanctions incentivize foreign governments to find alternatives to the dollar, but none have successfully escaped Washington's grip. Joakim argues that alternative payment systems are in the works, but even international banking transactions still use US banking systems. How much longer will the US dollar be the king currency? Why aren't foreign Governments fleeing to BTC and Gold?

Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos is back to discuss what's worth keeping your eye on in our increasingly complicated world. Does anyone believe that freedom is among the virtues that drive our mass media? James Bovard explains exactly how the latest media assault on freedom is unfolding. Every time you feel the pain at the gas pump, remember that it's tied directly to any number of official policies. Joakim Book lays out how politicians and journalists always seem to get energy so wrong. What is it that causes individuals in a state of slavery to seek their freedom? They know right from wrong. Paul Rosenberg shares his thoughts on the beauty and simplicity of moral clarity. Can freedom survive in a society without virtue? Michael Finch says we can see the answer to that question every day. He wonders what recovering America's greatness will require. As much as politicians, medical authorities and the media love to blame the pandemic for our current woes, the truth is that it was the response that caused the harm. Jeffrey A. Tucker wonders why won't they admit failure? The possibility of a return of lockdown policies is still on the table. El Gato Malo recommends that we refuse to go along with our abusers who love to blame the victims. As much as the state likes to pretend that it's trying to keep us safe, most of its rules are about keeping us under its control. Donald Boudreaux warns of the dangers of compelled belief.

Sometimes it seems like each election cycle is simply a scheme to replace one set of bad rulers with another set of bad rulers. Jeff Deist outlines the problem with the wrong elites and why they need to be desanctified. When is the best time to get ready for adversity? Paul Rosenberg says it's before you find yourself in the midst of it. The only thing worse than democracy dying is when democracy lives and succeeds.

Now that Putin has started military action in Ukraine, it's hard to know who to believe as to why this is happening. The Good Citizen has a marvelous summary of the situation in an essay titled "Hyenas In the Kitchen." More and more individuals are finally catching on to the fact that government and mass media misled and manipulated us in the name of public health. Here's one clear takeaway: After Covid, we must embrace critical thinking again. People in power are scared right now. Their influence is waning because their official words and reality did not line up. To avoid falling for their tricks again, Joakim Book pitches the need for skepticism as a new way of life. When people stand up against government overreach, the crux of the matter isn't the tone of voice they are using--it's the violation of the government's limits. Gary M. Galles wonders whether our current tension is the result of uncivil cause or effect. The media drumbeat about Ukraine sure seems to be trying to steer our country toward military conflict. Lawrence M. Vance reminds us that Ron Paul was right about Ukraine in 2014 and he's right today as well. It's interesting how the divide between rural and urban centers has sparked the freedom convoys. Dan Gelernter asks, where did our freedom go? If you've ever uttered the words, "There ought to be a law..." here's a message you need to hear. Laws and legislation aren't the same thing. Kent McManigal explains how legislation only creates new crime. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Who knew? The people who seem intent on making us live in Clown World have serious issues with the sound of horns going "honk honk." Hugh Hunter lives in downtown Ottawa and says he's grateful that the honking will continue until freedom improves. How can we have productive discussions in an age where so many people are looking for a reason to be offended? Joakim Book has some highly applicable information on apologies and hurt feelings. Reparations are a tricky subject. Ideally, they should be made to the people who have actually suffered a measurable harm by the people who actually caused that harm. That may not be possible for slavery, but it's entirely possible for the business victims of the Covid lockdowns. Disciples of Liberty can be heard on weekdays at Noon ET.

  It didn't take long for the powers that be in Canada to try to equate the snowballing trucker protest against vax mandates with a racist 1/6 kind of uprising. The key word here is "try." As Bradley C.S. Watson explains, the tactic is falling flat and the resistance appears poised to keep on truckin'. Economics can be boring until you see an example of how it applies in your life. You know, like if you eat food, for instance. Caitlin Gilligan has an eye-opening essay regarding the dark truth about America's agricultural system and how it's no longer a free market. Connor Boyack has some highly relevant thoughts on truckers, Joe Rogan and unacceptable views. He also has a very timely call to action to teach our children the importance of being peaceful protestors, critical thinkers and questioners of the status quo. A difficult, albeit necessary, skill to master is the ability to keep things in perspective. For instance, how many of us labor under the impression that we are the only ones who ever empty the trash or load the dishwasher. Joakim Book has a great essay on the negativity effect and how to avoid being trapped in it.

The man who considers himself the embodiment of science has made it clear that he's not about to accept any responsibility for the carnage that he and other health officials unleashed in their Covid response.

The danger of being misled by misinformation is real. Unfortunately, the ones who do most of the misleading are the very people working overtime to "protect us" from misinformation. Glenn Greenwald reports on the real disinformation agents and provides a textbook example of how they're doing it. Are states with greater freedom less safe? For that matter, are people flocking to Texas, Florida and Idaho so they can feel less safe? These are among the questions posed by Casey Carlisle who convincingly explains why if you want to be safe, then leave people alone. Along those same lines, here's a great essay from Joakim Book on the virtues of leaving people alone. It's a great reminder that most of the things we get wound up over are things we choose to let upset us. Hypothetically speaking, if you were ever to look around you and come to the conclusion that legitimate tyranny was at your doorstep, would you make the mistake of playing tyrant's game? Jeff Thompson warns that you can play a tyrant's game but you still lose. Even if you're not a fan of Ayn Rand, her novel Atlas Shrugged foreshadowed some of the abusive policy-making that we're seeing today. For those who are serious about telling leviathan "no", Thomas Luongo says it's time for all good men to stop fearing John Galt. Do you believe that most people tend to either live up or down to our expectations of them? Kent McManigal says it's essential that we let people make their own choices rather than try to micromanage them--for their own good. After all, it's the only way we can grow into functional members of society instead of remaining forever children. Looking at the way various nations reacted to the Covid-19 pandemic, it's clear that not everyone went full authoritarian. Bryan Caplan says that by measuring overreaction, we can be grateful that not everyone went the way of Australia. I've known a few folks who've had to deal with peripheral neuropathy but I was surprised to learn that nearly 20 million Americans suffer from this kind of progressive nerve damage.

I tried, and failed, to strictly regulate my food consumption for Thanksgiving day. However, I did manage to give some serious thought to what it means to be thankful. Barry Brownstein has another great essay on transforming our ingratitude into gratitude. Just how important is a sense of gratitude? Daisy Luther reminds us that the more unstable things become, the more important it is to appreciate what you already have. Pay close attention to the kinds of things that command your attention. Are you more focused on the personalities and issues in the news or with improving yourself and your understanding of the world? Alex R. Knight III says to conserve your sympathies and fight your own battles if you want to have impact. One of the most positive things we can do for ourselves is to learn to be less enemy-driven in our thinking. Kent McManigal reminds us that the other side isn't what's evil. It's what's in our own hearts that needs our strongest efforts. One of the surest ways that we can recognize how quickly our liberty is dwindling is when free speech comes under direct attack. Jonathan Turley clues us in on how the Aspen Institute has created a commission of 16 individuals whose job is to fight "information disorder." If you're a truth-seeker, you'll want to know about this. Right on cue, as the prevailing Covid narrative begins to fall apart like a soup sandwich, another variant is being touted by the narrative managers.

Good news seems to be in short supply these days but John Stossel has a nice reality check for us. He points out that there would be a lot more good news if government would simply get out of the way when innovators are working to improve our lives. We take a lot of things for granted. That's partly because we don't have a clear understanding of where stuff comes from. This is also true of those who think they can run society by their command. Politicians, we're looking in your direction. Here's one of the stranger trends that is catching on in some circles--people who wait until they've been sterilized before having sex. What's wrong with this kind of thinking? Annie Holmquist makes the case for choosing children over self-centered ambitions. Few things can make life more productive and happier than learning to separate politics from most of your daily activities. Joakim Book has a marvelous essay on the route of (least) resistance and why our lives are too important to let them be ruled by political differences. Consistency in our principles is an essential part of personal integrity. But that doesn't mean it's easy to be consistent. For instance, how many people complain when the president tries forcing mandates via executive order but cheer when a governor does the same thing to prohibit those mandates? Judge Andrew Napolitano has a thought-provoking take on how edicts are not the same thing as laws, even when they favor our side in a particular battle. There are times when being a quitter is a good thing. If you've found yourself feeling overwhelmed and hopeless from all the division we see around us, there's a way to fix that. Maybe it's time to quit putting so much emphasis on politics and start working on actually living as a good person instead. Many of us remember the miraculous time when cochlear implants became a viable way to help the deaf hear. But did you know that certain groups of hearing impaired people fought these implants as being destructive of deaf culture? Steve Sailer explains what is meant by the grateful deaf. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

I'm grateful for friends and fellow heretics like Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos. Eric stops by each week for a reality-based conversation on current events and to explore how to maintain our freedom while living in clown world. We've had a solid year and a half to evaluate how the various mandates, lockdowns and other official responses to Covid have panned out. We know what works and what doesn't. Joakim Book notes the security theatre will likely continue since public health officials simply cannot admit they were wrong and will not loosen their grip on power. We are seeing the very beginnings of a global supply chain breakdown. If you've found yourself wondering why so many container ships are anchored or drifting just offshore instead of being unloaded, Peter C. Earle has a very detailed explanation. The doldrums in which they're stranded aren't the product of nature, they're a consequence of power being mindlessly exercised. Getting stranded as the result of a walk-off of pilots and air traffic controllers may be inconvenient for anyone who is trying to travel. But the great Southwest Airlines rebellion is cause for celebration says Ron Paul. I would gladly suffer inconvenience in order to see our mandate-happy overlords' demands thwarted. And I just bought airline tickets last week. It's getting harder to give our federal overlords the benefit of the doubt. Especially when those at the top of our national government seem determined to punish all dissent against their current power grab. Max Morton spells out how working class Americans are considered a threat to the power of their government. Paul Rosenberg's essays are a worthwhile read for anyone who is tired of all the bad news. One of my favorites is an essay he penned more than 8 years ago about the beauty and dignity of the productive class. This one will make you appreciate the people whose creativity blesses our lives in ways we often overlook. While drunken sailors look on in astonishment at our government's trillion dollar out of control spending habits, politicians are floating the idea that the IRS should know about any time more than $600 passes through your hands. Jeff Thomas has a warning about the future of direct taxation. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Too much of the drama that drives our society is the result of becoming focused on personalities rather than principles. Having said that, Cheryl K. Chumley has an excellent article on Joe Rogan vs. Dr. Fauci and why one is more trustworthy than the other. People who don't know history can find it difficult to connect the dots of how the world really works. Joakim Book has a thought-provoking article on the five transitions to modernity and how understanding them can help us better appreciate our options. Government health officials are already suggesting that unvaccinated people not travel for the Labor Day holiday. Can vaccine mandates be far behind? Before you surrender to their demands, take a closer look at the FDA's fact sheet for Pfizer's Comirnaty vaccine which clearly states that "it's your choice to receive or not receive" the vaccine. Make no mistake, the great test of the moment is on the shoulders of those who will not comply with demands to get the vaccine. Jon Rappoport says this is where your ability to stand firm in your faith, conviction and courage is the key. It's bad enough that every place where we interact with government is becoming a compliance checkpoint for various Covid mandates. Now businesses are following suit and Allan Stevo has some helpful advice on how to meet this challenge head on and turn it in your favor. A healthy sense of skepticism is a good thing. Especially when people or institutions are demanding you do things "for your own good." Liam Cosgrove has a fascinating take on regulatory capture in the age of Covid-19. He also has some great information on Ivermectin as a treatment for Covid. One of the reasons so many people still view the state as their primary problem-solver is that they've been trained to do so since around age 5. Kent McManigal reminds us that a great many of our current problems are the result of state interference, not a matter of too little government. Here's some promising news: A Harvard epidemiologist is citing a newly published medical study that shows natural immunity in those who've had Covid provides stronger and longer-lasting protection against the virus. Jon Miltimore explains that this means vaccine passports are not necessary. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

One of the biggest challenges of living through difficult times is becoming resilient enough to not only survive but to improve when things go sideways. Leo Babauta has some excellent advice on how to develop extraordinary resilience. Just how important is our freedom of conscience? Before answering that question, consider how many people in official positions are currenty dismissing matters of conscience. Scott Mason asks whether national Covid mandates fulfill the public good. It's not hard to understand how money allows us to transport value across time. But when the time are changing, it's hard to say whether that value will be there in the future? Joakim Book explores the question of how do societies save for an uncertain future? It's wise to learn from our own mistakes. It's also admirable when we can learn from the mistakes of others. Jon Miltimore describes how Australia has created a police state to stop Covid-19 but the data shows that it's not working. What might we learn from their experience? A lot has changed in the past 18 months. How many of those changes do you wish could be permanent? Before you answer, take a look at a very interesting two minute video from the World Economic Forum titled "This is How Our Lives Could Soon Look" and see what those-who-know-best are thinking. The beautiful thing about wisdom is that it remains applicable in all times and places. How we might respond to today's crisis is something that Thomas Paine wrote about in 1776. There really is nothing new under the sun. A special bonus for those who are serious about stocking up on intellectual ammo regarding the public health mandates. Paul E. Alexander has put together a comprehensive and well-sourced explanation of why Covid-19 mandates will not work for the delta variant. Take your time and see for yourself if his conclusions add up. Would it surprise you to learn that no tyrant can gain absolute power over you without your voluntary consent? Dr. Joseph Mercola asks will you love your servitude? Because we're all being conditioned to do exactly that. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

There's so much enemy-driven thinking going on these days that it takes real effort not to be caught up in it. Joakim Book has an excellent essay about whether enemies can be friends and how to separate our viewpoints from what it takes to be a decent person. Dr. Dan Stock is a family physician who recently spoke up during a school board meeting in Mt. Vernon, Indiana. The ferocity with which his comments are being yanked from most social media platforms sparked my curiosity about what he had to say. Watch it for yourself here and decide for yourself if his viewpoint is so dangerous that we should be shielded from it. If you're resistant to the ongoing coercion and pressure to vaccinate, you probably already see the writing on the wall. Life is about to become very difficult. Daisy Luther explains how the shocking and dehumanizing discrimination against the unvaccinated is finding acceptance in mainstream society. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

It doesn't take very much to cause a breakdown in our supply chain. Remember the empty store shelves and scarcity of toilet paper we experienced in early 2020? Aden Tate has an eye-opening article about what a complete supply chain breakdown might look like and it's a sobering reminder to plan ahead for interruptions. The greatest fear of the political class isn't a shortage of food, fuel or electricity. They are terrified of losing legitimacy in the eyes of those they wish to rule. Jim Bovard confirms that as long as those in power are unwilling to abide by the limits on their power, their political legitimacy will continue to tank. Another institution that is suffering from diminishing legitimacy is the CDC. Check out this timeline of all the policy announcements and subsequent reversals that the CDC has thrown at the American public over the last year and a half. It's pretty revealing. No wonder we have trust issue with them. The new variants of Covid are keeping a good portion of the public off balance and unsure who or what to believe. Joakim Book describes the race to win Covidfinity and how we're becoming stuck in a never-ending cycle of moving goalposts. Like them or hate them, the ACLU once had a reputation for keeping government power in check. Nowadays, they've become woke and are reduced to peddling conspiracy theories about the Second Amendment. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Kendall Whiting from Lifesaving Food joins me to talk about food security and what's happening to the food supply chain as well as food prices. Might not be a bad time to quietly get stocked up for the next few months. How can thoughtful people navigate false narrative that there's such a thing as "settled science?" Joakim Book has an excellent essay on on how no science is ever settled. He points out that the sooner we accept that plenty of people are wrong about lots of things, the sooner we can stop trying to propagandize each other into submission. Speaking of propaganda, the prosecutorial passion play taking place in over the Jan 6th "insurrection" at the Capitol is a great example of official make believe. James Bovard has a marvelous take on the coming January 6 train wreck. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

With all the weirdness going on around us, it can be easy to forget what really matters. Joakim Book has a marvelous column on how to persevere and to carry light with you even with the world at its darkest. The most tyrannical thing about gun control measures is how large numbers of peaceful firearms owners can be magically converted into potential felons simply by putting a politician's words on paper. Brett Cooper has an informative take on the ATF's latest attempt to turn millions of peaceful people into criminals. The war on drugs has made its way to your doctor's office. Mike Ludwig has a detailed and compelling article on how regulators have made it more difficult for doctors to prescribe certain drugs and how this is creating problems for patients. Good intentions don't always bring good results.

The "insurrection" narrative that's taken so seriously by the political class is having a tough time holding up to scrutiny. It's also demonstrating that the FBI is quickly morphing into a politicized American Gestapo in regards to how it is going after those who were present at the Capitol on January 6. Jeff Minnick has the details. The fear of many members of the political class is that a revolution is afoot. Joakim Book confirms that there is a silent revolution taking place but it's not the violent one that those who seek to rule us are dreading. Sometimes it seems that when politicians are feeling the heat at home, they blow up people and things abroad to shift our attention. The recent "defensive" U.S. airstrikes on what our officials call "Iranian-linked militias" in Iraq is a good example. Jacob Hornberger has some very solid reasons why it's time to reject interventionism for good. It's very tempting for well-meaning politicians to bravely force employers to pay what some call a "living wage." Their misguided desire to help reliably causes more problems. Donald J. Boudreaux has a well thought out explanation of why low wages are not proof that workers lack sufficient bargaining power. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

A betting man, if he wants to remain a betting man, updates his priors. So, I side with Jason Bloom at the asset manager Invesco: ‘There is so much dislocation in the economy from the reopening and base effects from a year ago that it will take at least six to 12 months before we get a clear view of the underlying inflation trend.’ I will make a different sort of prediction, though: no matter what the future holds, the Chickens will be there to squawk about it.

Politics has a tendency to corrupt whatever it touches. This includes well-intentioned people like you or me who might wish to run for office. Jordan B. Peterson poses the question, "What makes you think you won't be a tyrant if you were given power?" He has a point. One of the most important distinctions we can make is the one between reform and freedom. Jacob Hornberger spells out the difference and makes the case for freedom rather than more comfortable serfdom. We're all skeptics, at some level, when something new comes along. If you've been wary of cryptocurrencies, here's another reason to take a closer look. Jon Militmore shares the story of an NFL draft pick who's choosing to take his entire signing bonus ($22.5 million) in crypto. Noting how much ignorance abounds in the world isn't a matter of arrogance. It's being realistic and it requires admitting that none of us are immune. As to the question of what we should be doing about it, Joakim Book says, first and foremost, don't misinform. Being free in an unfree world isn't getting easier. I wish more people would consider Curt Mercadante's approach and choose to provide an example of freedom in how they live their lives. It's so much better that simply raging against the freedom deniers. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

There's no shortage of outrage out there these days. What's interesting is how much of our outrage is rooted in allowing certain public figures to live rent-free in our heads. I have a few ideas on some productive alternatives to this obsessive behavior. It looks like the nearly 20 year occupation of Afghanistan is going to come to an end. Strip away the political posturing and it's not hard to see the big whopper we've been fed on this issue. Jacob Hornberger explains who has been lying to us and how. If you are one of those who has been a principled opponent of lockdowns, you likely sense the noose has been steadily tightening around the dissenters. Joakim Book asks: Is opposing lockdowns seditious? The power-seekers and opportunists certainly seem to think so. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

You don't have to be a pessimist to recognize that liberty is in eclipse right now. Having said that, Joakim Book has a terrific essay that illustrates how we are far from finished and how the 21st Century could be a century of liberty. And unlike politics, this is a place where we have more control than we think. Paul Rosenberg's essay series on fallacies is a very worthwhile tool in learning how to spot rhetorical sleight of hand when it's being used against you. His latest essay is on Fallacies of Elimination and it's super timely for some of the issues we're currently facing. Those who actively recognize the ongoing loss of individual freedoms in so many areas of our lives may wonder exactly how we got here. As Ethan Yang explains, the danger of the administrative state has been greatly underestimated. We see it in the damage done by the lockdowns and the unchecked growth of government. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Having said that, Joakim Book has a terrific essay that illustrates how we are far from finished and how the 21st Century could be a century of liberty. One of the biggest risks our kids face in state-run schools is indoctrination into so-called "woke" culture. Kerry McDonald explains how today's woke classrooms show why parents should be free to choose on schools. How bad is the public school indoctrination into critical race theory becoming? Even Bill Maher and his audience agreed it's out of control when Megyn Kelly was his guest recently. Maybe that's a hopeful sign that there are still pockets of sanity remaining. Though we have many ongoing challenges as a society, it's also safe to say that some of them are monsters of our own creation. Annie Holmquist makes a solid case that the problem isn't systemic racism, it's systemic victimhood. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

There are lots of crazy, unpredictable things happening on a daily basis. But the stuff that's most deeply concerning is rooted in the public's gullibility towards the politicians and bureaucrats who are removing our most basic rights. Joakim Book has a spot on essay describing why this matters and what we can do about it. If the January 6 clash at the Capitol were a gallon of milk, it's probably safe to say that its sell-by date passed some time ago. Thomas L. Knapp wonders why the political class is urging us to take a big slug of it, straight from the jug. Whatever policy is coming out of Washington D.C. these days, it's a pretty safe bet that its official name depicts the exact opposite of what it will actually do. Take, for instance, the current push for Congress to pass the so-called Equality Act. As Christopher Bedford explains, this act would create coercive new obligations that could gut religious freedoms. The new administration has wasted no time getting its hands bloody by ordering air strikes in Syria. And right on cue, Twitter is now banning users who question the imperial actions of the U.S. national security apparatus by claiming they "undermine faith in NATO." Nebosja Malic notes that certain kinds of politics have become a sort of religion. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

We are currently getting the world's biggest object lesson in how politics taints whatever it touches. The chance of "fixing" the things that divide us by doubling down on political solutions is somewhere between slim and fat. Joakim Book has an idea worth considering: The only way to win is not to play. More and more, I'm becoming a believer in the power of secession--at the personal level. Jeff Crouere points out that this is already happening in rural America and the trend is picking up steam. It has been fascinating--and disturbing--to watch the progression of "woke" ideology becoming entrenched in corporate America. However, when Burger King starts assuring me that they too are concerned about greenhouse gases, my eyes start to roll. Kimberlee Josephson has a great take on why corporations should cater to consumers rather than causes. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

No matter what your opinion is on bitcoin, its financial returns are no longer astronomical. Plenty of upstarts, small caps, established companies and even other cryptocurrencies posted that kind of return in the strange financial year that was 2020. Welcome back to the lower troposphere, bitcoiners ‒ or as the rest of us call it: reality.

What does principled resistance to tyranny look like? I'm pretty sure it's not burning, looting, spreading lies and threatening everyone around you. As Jon Miltimore explains, it looks more like the courageous gym owners in New Jersey who have stayed open in the face of official decrees and actions intended to shut them down. It seems to be taking an unusually long time for the public to catch on to how they are being played by those in power. Joakim Book has some timely words of encouragement for those awaiting rescue from the madness. In times of widespread groupthink, there is great need for wrongthinkers like you and me. Unfortunately, authoritarians are hard at work to stamp out independent thought at an early age. Annie Holmquist says it's why thinking students rank last on the government school agenda. The electoral sideshow has been on a lot of people's minds this week. Did you realize that something historic happened with America's electors on Monday? Andrea Widburg shares the details of something our mass media isn't talking about. Speaking of sore losers...(wink), professor Joseph Stiglitz is one of the sorest. No, he wasn't backing Trump in the election. As Richard M. Ebeling explains, Stiglitz is a misguided and sore loser because he opposes liberty. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

As Thanksgiving arrives, I find myself marveling at the degree to which authoritarian governors are trying to lock things down as well as the degree to which the citizenry is pushing back. Jeffery A. Tucker has a great run down of the Thanksgiving rebellion of 2020. The growing civil disobedience isn't just taking place at the hands of private citizens. Jon Miltimore shows how even various government leaders have reached their limits and are refusing to enforce the health directives. The resistance many of us are showing isn't based in ignorance or pettiness. As Donald Boudreaux explains, it's a natural reaction to the tyrannical behavior of busybodies who will not leave us alone. Chances are good that this message is reaching you via social media.

In a free society, trading, perusing wares, socializing and enjoying the company of others are mutually beneficial, innocent and harmonious actions. In a government-mandated Covid society, these wants are now antagonistic.

Why Book and others never questioned the rightness of opposing fossil fuels. How economic thinking changed Book’s perspective. How Book was influenced by The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. What lessons we can learn about persuasion from Book’s experience.

This isn’t a binary world: it was never ‘Trump or nothing,’ or ‘Trump or Utopia.’ What can be reasonably ascribed to Trump is the minor difference between him and the next guy (who, in the grand scheme of things agrees with him on 95% of issues) – deflated by the sum of changes in technology, markets, finance, trends, fashion and even societal beliefs.

The most pressing power struggle of our day isn't the upcoming presidential election. It's the battle between the lockdown ideologues and the rest of us. Phillip W. Magness shines a light on just how desperate the lockdowners have become. Things have been getting Orwellian for quite some time. But we've just passed another milepost of sorts. Changing the meaning of words--on the fly--to support the official narrative we're required to believe. Annie Holmquist has a great example of the latest example of newspeak. As happy a bunch as those rioters appear to be, there has to be a better way for one to register disapproval. Judge Andrew Napolitano has a novel idea, what it we just ignore the government when it tries to impose itself on us? I know the election is growing close but why is it such a matter of importance in our lives? In fact, why is it garnering so much attention from citizens in nations far away?

Here's an interesting thought: Should traffic ticket fines be based on your tax returns? Apparently some folks are floating this idea. Daniel J. Mitchell has a fascinating take on class warfare and traffic fines. So much focus is on national politics right now. Don't forget to stay engaged at the local level. Otherwise local officials might be tempted to go after 9 year old girls for building a tree house. 2020 has been a mixed blessing in some ways. Case in point, politicians have been too busy flexing over a virus to push for what they call "common sense" gun control. Plus several million people have purchased guns and pretty much all the ammo. Mark W. Smith has a few thoughts about the life-saving role of the firearm in personal protection. One of the more interesting political obsessions you're likely to encounter is the funding-conspiracy-theorist.

On economic well-being, it’s clear that a country with an invasively large government sector and extraordinarily high taxes can still perform well. In the corona debates, the simplified story that lockdowns prevent spread and open societies kill people should be relegated to the dustbin of impressive theories at odds with reality.
