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.

On this episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton unpacks the unfolding economic crisis through the lens of Ludwig von Mises's “crack-up boom.” With inflation accelerating, deficits ballooning, and the Fed's credibility fading, Mark outlines how reckless monetary policy and unsustainable government spending are setting the stage for stagflation—or worse. From gold's surge to the dollar's decline, he connects today's market signals to Mises's dire warnings about monetary collapse, offering a sobering look at what may lie ahead for the US economy.Additional Resources"Trump (Again) Demands More Easy Money To Help Fund Even Bigger Deficits" by Ryan McMaken: https://mises.org/MI_125_A"Interest Rates Rise Again as Treasury Auction Comes Up Short" by Ryan McMaken: https://mises.org/MI_125_B"Powell, Trump, and the Austrian Business Cycle Time Bomb" (Minor Issues, Ep. 118): https://mises.org/MI_118 "Prospects for Hyperinflation" (Minor Issues, Ep. 116): https://mises.org/MI_116"Are Economic Crises and Crashes Inevitable?"
