On this episode of Power and Market, Ryan, Connor, and Tho discuss the reported probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Is this actual accountability for malfeasance, or a petty battle of DC egos? At the end of the day, does the difference matter? And should Powell be encouraged that central banks around the world are standing in solidarity with him? The panel dives into these questions and more.

In criticizing the progressive notion of equity, or equality of results, critics of such views embrace an order of “meritocracy.” F.A. Hayek, however, understood that in a free society, inequality is inevitable, and it is something we must accept.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/why-hayek-rejected-merit-based-equality

Inflation does more than just force up prices. It destroys the wealth-producing process, especially with young people who are prevented from acquiring the same kinds of assets earlier generations procured.

Appearing on the John Curley Show, Ryan McMaken examines how policy—not culture-war slogans—undermines the American family. He points to marriage penalties in the tax and welfare code, inflation that erodes real wages, zoning and permitting that price families out of housing, and schooling/childcare mandates that shift authority from parents to bureaucracies. Rather than more top-down “family policy,” Ryan argues for decentralization: end the marriage penalties, curb monetary inflation, remove barriers to homebuilding and home-based work, and return decisions over education and child-rearing to parents and local communities. The result is a practical case for strengthening families by shrinking Leviathan's reach.The original interview is available on YouTube.

Dr. Shawn Ritenour draws on Mises to show that specialization and trade align long-run interests and raise living standards when prices are guided by sound money. He also argues that state interventions—especially Fed bailouts and credit expansion—pit citizen against citizen and fuel inequality, underscoring the need for real economic education of the kind fostered by the Mises Institute.Sponsored by Don Printz.Recorded at the Mises Supporters Summit in Delray Beach, Florida, on October 17, 2025.

Bob talks with economist Jeff Degner about his new book Inflation and the Family. Drawing inspiration from Guido Hülsmann's The Ethics of Money Production, Professor Degner shows how central bank policies and interest rate manipulation create ripple effects beyond prices and GDP. From marriage formation to fertility decisions and divorce trends, he explains how inflation fosters short-termism, debt culture, and moral hazard within households.Join Jeff Degner and other Mises faculty on November 1st for our first student-only event at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

One of the reasons Charlie Kirk was considered "divisive" was that he spoke out against the civil rights laws, which was interpreted as his supporting Jim Crow segregation.
