Both many Pro-Natalists as well as their critics have a Malthusian view of the world in which humans seem to be impervious to incentives and changing conditions. It is time for praxeologists to speak up.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/are-pro-natalists-real-malthusians

While we often speak of measurements of inflation (such as "inflation went up by three percent"), in reality, one cannot accurately measure it, given official measurements consist of arbitrary weighted averages. It is better to see inflation as qualitative, not quantitative.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/fallacy-measuring-inflation

A central belief of collectivists is that people think collectively, too. Whether one is a member of a class, religious group, or ethnic group, collectivism holds that each group has distinct interests that determine how individuals in the group think. Mises would have disagreed.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/mythology-methodological-collectivism

This summer, Hollywood is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its summer blockbuster “Jaws.” The making of such films provides a good analysis of how entrepreneurs operate in a world of uncertainty. Austrian economists are best able to understand how this process works.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/entrepreneur-and-summer-blockbuster

Mainstream economics is deterministic, holding that economic actors continue to move in one directions, not responding to changes in economic circumstances or incentives.

Mainstream economists define inflation as the increase in an imaginary “price level” that is relatively neutral in its effects. Austrian economists, however, know better, as they realize that the effects of inflating the money supply are anything but neutral.Original article: Inflation: Looking Beyond Aggregates

One important difference between the Austrian and other schools of thought is the emphasis Austrians place upon purposeful human behavior. Consumption by individuals is not random, but rather purposeful action driven by subjective individual preferences.Original article: Subjective Valuation Versus Arbitrary Valuation

It should be clear from the articles in this book that the Austrian School is thriving. Per Bylund has rendered a great service in bringing the scholarship in A Modern Guide to Austrian Economics to our attention.Original article: New Austrian Insights

In this thought-provoking episode, we're joined by Max Hillebrand, an advocate for Bitcoin and Austrian economics. Together, we dive into the foundational principles of Praxeology, examining human action and decision-making. From there, we explore economics as a science, emphasizing the social nature of human beings and their interaction within markets.The conversation takes a critical turn as we discuss government, taxes, and the concept of theft, providing a unique perspective on state authority and individual sovereignty. Max also shares his insights on psychology and empiricism, bridging the gap between human behavior and logical deduction.We then tackle the age-old question: What is money? Our deep dive compares fiat currency, gold, and Bitcoin, highlighting the benefits of sound money and the flaws in current monetary systems. Finally, we focus on a topic central to Max's philosophy: privacy. From financial freedom to private personal property and security, we discuss why privacy matters and how it can be preserved in the digital age.We hope you enjoy the episode!Keep up with me (socials)https://www.instagram.com/beyond.terrain/https://linktr.ee/beyondterrainOur vision at Beyond Terrain is best supported by sharing our work!To go above and beyond:BCH: bitcoincash:qq7eq276ylanluc5e39unrqshkvs9xsemg07yxezf7ETH: beyondterrain.ethBTC: bc1qqwc470ktgj3l4myqxr5hq67rnlqys0qm98u6f0Learn more from and support our esteemed guest, Mr. Max Hillebrandhttps://pay.towardsliberty.com/apps/213Mf5Nf92sRka8M2GZx3gyK4qZu/pos

In 1997, Bryan Caplan wrote an essay explaining why he was no longer a self-described Austrian. Recently, a reader asked him to comment on that essay.

One of the important points made by Carl Menger in his 1871 Principles is that people ordinally rank their preferences, valuing some things more than others. While this seems to be a common-sense principle, it actually has important implications for economic theory.Original article: Why People Pay Higher Prices for Some Goods Relative to Others

There are numerous critics of the Austrian School of economics, but when their disparagements are closely examined, the so-called experts themselves are wrong. Austrians can do a better job of setting the record straight.Original article: Answering the Confused Critics of Austrian Economics

Modern egalitarians play down the idea of free will, claiming that free will is relevant only if individuals have no interference with their choices. Murray Rothbard, on the other hand, recognized that self-ownership and one's ability to engage in reason is enough to recognize free will.Original article: Rothbard on Liberty and Free Will

"The word praxeology can be used in two different ways. One is for a science of human action, as developed by Ludwig von Mises and his successors, principally Murray Rothbard. And the other is for the deductive method used in the science of human action."Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 29, 2024.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

Mainstream economists insist that data alone can explain economic events, permitting them to test economic theories. In truth, without sound theory, data is meaningless.Original Article: Can Data by Itself Inform Us about the Real World?

Contra critical theorists, who claim human reason is nothing more than a social construct, reason is both understandable and universal. We cannot abandon it, for if we do, we abandon liberty itself.Original Article: Understanding Reason Is Paramount to Understanding Liberty
