When politicians talk about running government like a business, it's time to stop taking them seriously. George F. Smith compares government with the free market and it's not even close. Properly applied defiance can be inspiring. Case in point: Here's an open letter to the Davos crowd that says what many of us are thinking. Since the Super Bowl is on a lot of people's minds, it offers some great object lessons. Peter C. Earle has the lowdown on how inflation has already ruined your Super Bowl party. There's no shortage of bad news these days but there's also something rather exciting. J.B. Shurk says, this is a moment in history that is pregnant with purpose.

Ever had someone demand that you provide a solution for a problem that you've pointed out? Gary D. Barnett has strong words for such people as well as a call to start acting on truth rather than demanding that others fix the world's ills. Demand for covid shots has dropped off steeply. The Brownstone Institute asks, had you known, would you have taken the jab? The push for fake meat has been intensifying for some time now. Peter C. Earle and Phil Magness take a deeper dive into whether this trend is more entrée or agenda. When we don't know our own history, we are little more than children who depend on others to tell us what came before. Alexander Markovsky recounts how the American Republic was lost. Article of the Day: That whole "wars and rumors of wars" thing seems to be a reality in our time. Patrick Carroll offers 3 principles for libertarians (and other lovers of freedom) in times of war.

October's consumer price index was flat and inflation slowed but prices of goods remain high. Besides the high prices at the grocery store, consistently high inflation means interest rates, home loans and financing for a new car will all remain high. While the CPI showed inflation was increasing at a slower rate, how and when will Americans see a decrease in everyday expenses? FOX's John Saucier speaks with Peter C. Earle, economist and author of American Institute for Economic Research's "Everyday Price Index", about the state of inflation, how it is impacting Americans and will there be some relief from high prices.

Today's guest is Peter C. Earle, economist at AIER. The topic is ESG: Environment, Social, and Governance regulations, and the theory behind it that says corporations should be run for the benefit of interests outside the shareholders. They explore the rise of ESG criteria in a low interest rate environment, and ask whether ESG on its way out.
The US government could start running out of money within weeks unless it allows itself to borrow more. Coming against that backdrop, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that failure to raise the US' debt ceiling could have dire consequences. Ahead of US President Joe Biden's meeting with congress leaders on the issue, Peter C Earle, Economist and Research Faculty at the American Institute for Economic Research takes a deep dive into technicalities behind the debt crisis. This podcast is produced and edited by Yeo Kai Ting (ykaiting@sph.com.sg) Highlights: 01:05 - US debt has sometimes risen faster than the debt ceiling, so why the urgency to take action right now? 01:52 - The clock is ticking as we speak. What drastic consequences could we see if the debt ceiling isn't lifted on time before the US breaches that ceiling? Is a recession on the horizon in your opinion? 03:02 - The US has actually modified the debt ceiling 78 times since 1960. Could you give us some sense of why it has grown so much? 03:51 - Since we're talking about history, I'm going to take you back to the very very beginning. How did this concept of the ceiling come about? 04:27 - Can hitting the debt ceiling now be avoided without Congressional action? 05:21 - Some economists are saying that the Treasury Department could potentially buy more time, like you said, by engaging in other unprecedented actions - such as selling large amounts of gold, minting a special large-denomination coin, issuing IOUs that could be sold and traded in private markets, or invoking the Fourteenth Amendment to override the statutory debt limit. Do you believe such options could help the situation, and if so, how much more time can that buy? 06:46 - We're just a day ahead of President Biden's meeting with congress leaders. How likely will we see a raise in the debt ceiling at this meeting? And if not, which other markets are likely to see ripple effects? 07:30 - Warren Buffett - whose conglomerate is viewed as a barometer of economic health in the US because of the range of businesses it owns - believes that we will skirt a recession. Which sectors are expected to be the hardest hit in the coming months? 08:34 - So we were talking about buying time earlier, what kind of negative consequences would that bring if they were to buy more time?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PPI numbers from today suggests there's still a lot of work for the Fed to do, says Peter C. Earle. He and Jeffrey Cleveland discuss the reaction to today's PPI report. They also talk about expectations for tomorrow's CPI report. Jeffrey notes that CPI is more important, while the PPI doesn't give much insight. They then go over how the Fed could react to this week's inflation data. Tune in to find out more about the stock market today.
Now that the calendar page has turned, Gareth Roberts invites us to face an unpopular fact: Your sexuality doesn't make you special. Politicians know we're not happy about what we're paying at the pump these days, that's why they're looking for a scapegoat. Peter C. Earle says leave the gas station owners out of it. The topic of student loan forgiveness is a touchy one. Attorney Addison Hosner joins me to talk about the generational dynamic behind this issue and why we should avoid knee-jerk responses.

“Allowing politicians to blame Putin, corporations, shipping firms, billionaires, insufficient taxation, ‘greed,' or other tired scapegoats is erroneous and misleading.” ~ Peter C. Earle
“Fickle complaints, unrealistic expectations, and perpetual irritation over trivial aspects of goods or services are a just reward for permitting entrepreneurial risk-taking, economic calculation, and markets to operate freely.” ~ Peter C. Earle
“Despite the clamor of incorrect headlines, Russia's embrace of gold amid awful circumstances remains a positive step. Gold is tangentially being utilized to make an existing money more sound.” ~ Peter C. Earle
"On February 1st 2022 the US national debt surpassed $30 Trillion for the first time - just as the Fed is preparing a hiking campaign. Political decisions to trade the future for the present tempt further assaults upon the ever-declining soundness of the US dollar." ~ Peter C. Earle
Matt Kibbe sits down with economist Peter C. Earle to discuss all the policy failures that have led to the Christmas season looking less merry, and more expensive, than it should. From runaway inflation to shipping delays and drops in employment, the Biden administration has shown no signs of understanding the first thing about economics — and is more concerned with virtue signaling than with actually solving the problems facing Americans this December.
“Heading down to the bar for a celebratory drink–it was a great conference–I thought to myself: ‘If that is the depth of common understanding, and the full extent of their imagination: how is any of the morass the world is descending into surprising?'” ~ Peter C. Earle

One of the more curious trends of the current "woke" movement is the pressure to only cast actors who have authentically lived the experience of the characters they play. Maren Thom asks whether the culture war over politically correct casting is limiting artistic freedom. There's little doubt that we are standing at a crossroads these days in regards to what kind of nation we will be as we move forward. Jacob Hornberger from the Future of Freedom Foundation has a great take on the conflicting visions that shaped America and the choice before us. The growing shipping crisis is not the product of too little government oversight. Just the opposite, in fact. Peter C. Earle explains that to fix the shipping crisis, we should start by repealing the Jones Act. It's one thing to be passively carried along with the current and quite another to move with purpose. If you know in your gut that there is a need to stand up for what is true and good, then you have a duty to join the battle.

“The Biden Administration should immediately suspend the Jones Act, at least until the shipping backlog is remedied. That, instead of coddling special interests wielding ludicrous (and arguably long out-of-date) arguments, would be a true ‘gamechanger.'” ~ Peter C. Earle
“The tradeoffs of pandemic policies were apparent early on, and now include mounting levels of fraud, theft, and violence. Although it is unlikely, hopefully that revelation will inform future policy choices.” ~ Peter C. Earle
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

“With the Evergrande crisis looming in the background, the crypto universe being pilloried by Chinese authorities as a ‘growing threat to financial stability' and ‘disrupt[ive] to economic order' is more than simply ironic. It is irony at its most mordant.” ~ Peter C. Earle
“Other nations would be well advised to use El Salvador's missteps as a guide for their own such attempts. And to suffuse their embrace of crypto beyond considerations of technology, observing its fundamentally libertarian spirit as well.” ~ Peter C. Earle
If you need to have your perspective recalibrated from time to time, there's nothing quite like taking the time to appreciate all the little things that make life great. Art Carden has a marvelous piece on the the symphonies of cooperation that take place daily to keep us fed, clothed and sheltered. The worst part of the various restrictions on our lives and freedoms is that the people calling for them insist that this is all being done "for our own good." TE Creus wonders why big government and big buiness are pretending that they are our strict but caring parents and we're just a bunch of unruly children in need of their guidance. For folks who are paying attention, there's a growing shortage of plastic products. Peter C. Earle warns that Hurricane Ida may have just set the global plastic market back even further. The principle that underlies the hesitation so many feel toward taking the Covid vaccine is a principle of personal autonomy called informed consent. As William Sullivan explains, informed consent is being transformed into coercion of the uninformed. You can't stand for your rights if you don't know them. Given the number of people who've been vaccinated who still become infected, vaccine passports seem like a pretty useless idea. Nevertheless, according to Helen Andrews, the U.S. government is plowing ahead full steam to implement them. This is one of the places where we can draw a line and say "no." If anyone has the right to say, "I told you so" it would be Michael Snyder. He has been warning of our nation's alarming change in direction toward dictatorship for many years. In his most recent column he makes another point worth considering--this thing isn't going to correct itself. We have to quit playing along. Each week Eric Peters from EP Autos drops by to give his take on the passing scene. This week we touch on how the government "saves" us money, who killed the electric car that worked and why you should trust your instincts to never do what government is insisting you do. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

“Unfortunately, carefully considering trade-offs remains alien to the calculus of public officials. From utter scarcity to crushing abundance in less than 100 days, the lumber epic is entering a new phase.” ~ Peter C. Earle
With expressions ranging from enthusiasm to serious interest, central banks from China to Europe have been actively exploring the potential for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). On June 28, Federal Reserve Board Vice Chairman for Supervision Randal Quarles offered comments that, far from equivocal, expressed great doubt about the feasibility and desirability for the Federal Reserve sponsoring such a currency.On July 29 at 2 PM ET the Federalist Society will host a webinar of CBDC experts to comment on Vice Chairman Quarles' remarks. What were the key points he made, what did he not say, what is the significance of his comments, what issues remain? Most important of all, what are the prospects for CBDCs, abroad as well as in the U.S.?Controversies focus on CBDC implications for privacy, greater personal financial inclusion, government control of credit, innovation, government assumption of banking activities, broadening the tax base, and more.Speaking on the webinar will be Bert Ely, Chris Giancarlo, and Peter Earle. Featuring:-- Bert Ely, principal of Ely & Co. Inc., long-time expert, consultant, and commentator on financial services institutions and developments, including conditions in the banking industry and the FDIC, monetary policy, the payments system, and the growing federalization of credit risk.- Chris Giancarlo, former Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and currently senior counsel at Willkie Farr & Gallagher.

One would be well advised to expect that nary a single public official will be called to account for the mounting NPI death toll. But with fear already welling up regarding new Covid variants, and the first of a new set of NPIs being imposed, awareness of the overlooked, underappreciated costs may save lives in the near future.
A new round of expansionary monetary policy, wildfires, or other developments could bring more upheaval to this ordinarily sedate market, but for now it appears that the lumber market delirium has been quelled.
By making precious metals a more integral part of citizens' lives, state gold depositories are key to a return to sound money.
Biden's doubling of Trump's lumber tariffs will hurt US consumers, protect American firms from competition, and encourage further rent seeking.
Where did woke corporate America get the idea that politics is everything?

Indian citizens have embraced cryptocurrencies in astonishing numbers, and despite the government’s best efforts to suppress the crypto economy, history would indicate that it’s a futile endeavor. By trying to ban them, the case for cryptocurrencies is made all the more clear, propelling their use and further innovation. The cryptocat is out, irrevocably so, of the bag.
I empathize with those desiring that the name of the 3.1 mile bridge should revert to Tappan Zee; other recommendations would undoubtedly include renaming the structure for a deceased serviceman or woman, the 9/11 attack victims, or a different New York State Governor. (DeWitt Clinton, who facilitated the building of the Erie Canal, often comes up.) But I disagree with all of those.
Throughout history, governments have identified emerging threats and sought to eliminate them through heavy-handed bans, or regulations so stringent that they are effectively bans themselves. But the only thing that is guaranteed through these actions is certainly not the eradication of the ‘undesirable’ product or behavior––it’s the human tendency to find new and innovative workarounds in the face of obstacles.

You know what's scarier than a goose-stepping tyrant? A moral monster who destroys another person's life through the totalitarian "virtue" of cancel culture. Rod Dreher has the unsettling story of Jimmy Galligan who is being celebrated as a "hero" by the NYT for sitting for two years on a video of a classmate who used a racial slur--just so he could ruin her college career. The anti-capitalist sentiment is as strong as ever. Those of us who believe in free markets must be able to make the moral case for capitalism. Lipton Matthews has a powerful and succinct explanation of how to do this. A great example of how government has the uncanny ability to complicate anything it touches can be seen in the booming cannabis industry in those states that have legalized marijuana in various forms. As Daniel Mitchell explains, it's everything you need to know about government in one story. You've likely heard some rumblings about the $2.3 trillion spending bill passed by Congress (including the $900 billion for Covid relief). Fiona Harrigan and Peter C. Earle have an accurate and infuriating accounting of how that money is being doled out. Every day I hear from people who feel that they are on the horns of a dilemma.

If you're serious about using your influence for good in a time of social justice insanity, Jeff Minnick has some great advice on what we can do. He also makes the case for not trying to appease those who are working overtime to dismantle our culture. Here's a quick list of 5 widespread ridiculous beliefs that no sane adult should ever embrace. If the lockdowns have taught us anything, it's how important our inalienable human right to engage in commerce really is. Peter C.

The issue of reforming policing is rapidly becoming a false dilemma--either support the blue line or abolish policing entirely. Peter C. Earle has another option: make the police part of the market. Many of us have serious heartburn over the compulsive wearing of face masks. Arthur Diamond makes a strong case that voluntarily wearing the masks may hasten the opening of the economy and may just save lives in the process.

It's probably safe to say that almost no one has been spared from the difficulty of past 12 weeks. Jon Miltimore and Dan Sanchez make the case that no one has suffered more than the small business owner. For all concerns about police abuse of power, is it time to have a conversation about privatizing our policing? Most of us have been conditioned to fear what's not under the control of the state but there are success stories that show it can be done. With all the unrest, why is no one mentioning how unions contribute to our current challenges? Paul Rosenberg has some great insights.

Earle It’s not certain that by the time this article is published there will be any more clarity than there is at present (Tuesday morning) regarding the outcome of the Iowa Democratic Caucus.
"What's noteworthy about this point is that, upon this particular halving, Bitcoin “inflating” at a roughly 1.8 percent rate annually will nominally — and by then, quite possibly in real terms — be “inflating” at a rate lower than both the Federal Reserve target of 2 percent per year and current, CPI-based estimates of real U.S. inflation of 1.9 percent annually." - Peter C Earle Another great piece from Bitcoin Magazine written by Peter C. Earle, detailing the reasons why this next halving will make Bitcoin a true contender in the world of monetary policy. In a very short span, Bitcoin will become the most scarce & strictly defined financial asset on Earth... are you ready?

This is the spoken edition of the American Institute for Economic Research for January 7, 2020. A longer text version is hosted at AIER.org, along with many other articles. Where are the Flying Cars? By Peter C. Earle We’re now two decades into the century, and as always with a year ending in zero or five, one begins to take stock of things we’ve seen, hoped to see, and detect the absence of. We’ve had a decade without a recession.
Peter C. Earle is a former trader and global financial analyst on Wall Street, an Austrian Economist, and Research Fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research He is also the author of the book "A Century of Anarchy: Neutral Moresnet - Through The Revisionist Lens" (it's a short book but its vital for everyone who cares about the cause of liberty and the E-book versison - which I purchased - is currnetly only $2.99 on Amazon!) https://www.amazon.com/Century-Anarchy-Neutral-Moresnet-Revisionist-ebook/dp/B00KB6DLUO We spend a good part of our conversation talking about the fascinating story of Neutral Moresnet. It was a tiny territory in Europe that for over a hundred years, demonstrated that when people are left alone, an emergent order of peace and prosperity can be created, through voluntary cooperation without the need of a central authority. He discusses how Moresnet came into existence, the unique competing systems of justice its citizens utilized, what led to the destruction of this beautiful accidental experiment in anarchy, and the lessons this forgotten chapter of history can teach us today. The Story of Moresnet is one that everyone who is interested in discovering real life examples of peaceful anarchy in action, should be familiar with. Pete reminds us as well that Anarchy doesn't mean the absence of rules it simply means the absence of rulers. Neutral Moresent is an example of what can happen when people are alone and in peace. Pete also gives his thoughts on the current resurgence of Socialist thought, the power of decentralization to create more freedom and his common sense approach to spreading the ideas of individual liberty, peace and prosperity to others. Pete is a very optimistic about the future and gives examples that support his belief.
