The neoliberal establishment has done much to define our highly-interventionist, inflationary, and crony system as true free-market capitalism. They shouldn't be surprised, therefore, that people are turning against it.Read the article here: https://mises.org/mises-wire/how-neoliberals-fueled-rise-socialism2026 is the Year of Rothbard—Murray's 100th birthday—and we're celebrating by giving away free copies of Economic Depressions: Their Cause and Cure through September 30.

He might just be the biggest US drug smuggler you've never heard of. 1.3 billion in product moved. 16 different aliases. Bank accounts in 10 countries. A phantom, and a logistical genius. Stewart Newton quietly built what feds called the biggest ever drug smuggling operation in New England's history, before suffering the largest ever narco assets seizure in US history. And he did it by leaving his Long Island mansion and going to Pakistan to meet the country's biggest drug syndicate, the mountain warlords who ran the country. It's one of the wildest stories in American crime history, never before told, until now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

A smaller but more theoretically ambitious group looked past the states to a national inconvertible currency. Rothbard examines their schemes in detail: suspension of specie payments by the Bank of the United States, permanent abandonment of redemption, and the elaborate proposal of "An Anti-Bullionist," who anticipated a specie-exchange standard with a government board regulating note issue against foreign exchange rates. Thomas Law of Washington emerged as the movement's leading advocate. None of the plans reached a vote, but Treasury Secretary Crawford's reluctant rejection of the idea provoked some of the sharpest monetary analysis of the era.

Rothbard collects the smaller remedies that circulated during the depression, chief among them internal improvements as relief for the unemployed. Pennsylvania's legislature debated a $660,000 roads appropriation defended explicitly as a jobs program, with one sponsor arguing that public debt was harmless because it would "circulate among the members of the same body." New Jersey took up the Delaware and Raritan Canal; North Carolina's Archibald Murphey proposed financing improvements with new paper money. A lone Pennsylvania representative asked why the men demanding the projects would not fund them with their own capital.

Rothbard draws the threads together and challenges the standard historiography. The inflation-versus-hard-money battle cut across region, class, wealth, and occupation—in Tennessee, the two opposing camps were led by wealthy cotton planters from the same city, and several inflationist governors reversed themselves after seeing their paper depreciate. He traces the lasting consequences: the protective movement's 1824 victory, the discrediting of state inconvertible paper, and the conversion of Jackson, Benton, Polk, Kendall, and Condy Raguet to hard money during these years. He closes by arguing that the Panic of 1819 helped launch American economics as a discipline, and left a permanent mark on how the country thought about money, debt, and depression.

The depression revived a dormant tariff movement and turned it into something close to a crusade. Rothbard follows Matthew Carey and the Philadelphia protectionists as they organized conventions, flooded Congress with memorials, and pressed the claim that free trade caused depression and protection would restore full employment. A high tariff bill was narrowly defeated in the Senate in 1820, along with companion measures to tax auction sales and end credit on import duties. The free-trade opposition, centered in the export-dependent South and New England shipping, countered that tariffs would deepen the collapse in commerce and agriculture, and that burdens on consumption should be reduced in a depression, not raised. The protectionists lost in 1820 and won in 1824.

Because banks were chartered by the states, the monetary fight was fought mainly in state legislatures, and Rothbard follows it across the Union. Proposals ranged from the modest—permitting failing banks to suspend specie payment while continuing to operate—to the radical creation of state-owned banks and loan offices issuing inconvertible paper. Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee went the full distance. Some states even attempted to outlaw the depreciation of bank notes by statute. The results converted several prominent inflationists, including future leaders of the Jacksonian hard-money movement.

The debtors' plight was the most visible face of the depression, and the most politically explosive. Rothbard traces two distinct battles: the federal question of the $23 million owed on public land purchases, where Congress and President Monroe moved to forgive interest and permit relinquishment; and the state-level fight over stay laws and minimum appraisal laws, which spread through eight and four states respectively. Relief advocates argued that the rising purchasing power of the dollar had made repayment unjust. Their opponents answered that shielding debtors would destroy creditor confidence and prolong the very depression it aimed to cure.

Rothbard sets the stage with a portrait of a young agrarian republic transformed by the War of 1812. Foreign trade collapsed and domestic manufacturing surged; loosely regulated state banks multiplied, issuing notes with little specie behind them; credit poured into western land purchases at inflated prices. When the Second Bank of the United States reversed course and forced contraction, the whole structure came down. This chapter supplies the economic environment for everything that follows, and answers a question of lasting theoretical interest: was 1819 a genuine business-cycle depression of the modern type?

Rothbard opens by establishing why the Panic of 1819 matters: it was the first American crisis that could not be pinned on a specific act of government, and thus the first that looked recognizably modern. Confronted with something new, Americans went searching for causes and cures in newspapers, pamphlets, and legislative halls. Rothbard explains that the editors of the day were among the nation's leading economists, and that their debates form a rich and largely untapped record of a people learning to think about depression for the first time.

Rothbard places the 100 percent program in the classical economists and the currency school, and in the Jeffersonian and Jacksonian political tradition—figures he argues historians have miscast as economically ignorant agrarians. He credits Condy Raguet with seeing before the British that deposits are money substitutes too, and recovers the neglected Charles H. Carroll and Isaiah W. Sylvester.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Prof. Albert Cheng of Ohio State University and Alisha Searcy of the Center for Strong Public Schools speak with Bob Nasson, Editor of The Concord Review and Executive Director of the National History Club. They discuss the importance of rigorous history education and students' essay writing in developing academic excellence. Since 1987, The Concord Review has published more than 1,600 history essays averaging 9,000 words, written by students from 47 U.S. states and 47 countries. Nasson explores the state of history essay writing among American students, the origins and mission of The Concord Review, and the National History Club's efforts to encourage students to engage deeply with high academic quality history. He also discusses strengthening history instruction, the connection between reading and research writing, and the importance of humanities education in an increasingly STEM-focused landscape. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Nasson reflects on how students can explore the nation's history in all its complexity. In closing, he reads the opening passage of an essay set to be published in The Concord Review's September issue.

On the Declaration's 250th anniversary, Larsen Plyler asks what the document was actually written to do. Taking Justice Clarence Thomas's recent claim that it ranks among the West's great anti-slavery documents as his starting point, Plyler argues that the Declaration's legacy has been shaped less by Jefferson than by Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr., who read a later conception of equality and a single unified nation back into it. Returning the text to its context—grievances aimed at the king alone, a closing paragraph declaring thirteen free and independent states—he makes the case for the legacy that got lost.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 25, 2026.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.

Why did so many American colonials take arms against the ruling British, even when the odds were stacked against them?

In an episode we first ran back in 2014, we explore how a sunken nuclear submarine, a crazy billionaire, and a mechanical claw gave birth to a phrase that has hounded journalists and lawyers for 40 years and embodies the tension between the public's desire for transparency and the government's need to keep secrets.   Whether it comes from government spokespeople or celebrity publicists, the phrase “can neither confirm nor deny” is the perfect non-denial denial. It's such a perfect deflection that it seems like it's been around forever, but reporter Julia Barton takes us back to the 1970s and the surprising origin story of what's now known as a “Glomar Response.” With help from David Sharp and Walt Logan, we tell the story of a clandestine CIA operation to lift a sunken Soviet submarine from the ocean floor and the dilemma they faced when the world found out about it. It's an episode we first released in 2014, but given some things in the news recently, it resonated with us again. In the 40 years since that operation, the Glomar Response has become boilerplate language from an array of government agencies. With help from ProPublica editor Jeff Larson and NPR's Dina Temple-Raston, we explore the implications of this ultimate information dodge. ACLU lawyer Jameel Jaffer explains how it stymies oversight, and we learn that, even 40 years later, governmental secrecy can be emotionally painful. More information about Glomar: After 40 years, many of the details of Project Azorian are only now coming to light. The US government's default position has been to keep as much of it classified as possible. It took three years for retired CIA employee David Sharp to get permission to publish his account of Project Azorian. And FOIA played an indirect role in that, as Cold War historians got the CIA to release, in redacted form, an internal history of the mission. After that and a threat of legal action, Sharp was finally able to publish his manuscript in 2012. We mentioned conspiracy theories that have swirled around Project Azorian filling the void where official silence has reigned. One of them is promulgated in the 2005 book “Red Star Rogue” by Kenneth Sewell and Clint Richmond. They posit that the K-129 was taken over by rogue Stalinist KGB agents in order to start a nuclear conflict. But the conflict was to be between the US and China, as, according to the authors, the sub had powers to disguise its sonic signature as a Chinese Navy vessel. This book is the basis of the 2013 drama “Phantom,” which features Ed Harris and David Duchovny as Soviet military officers who sip vodka in a very un-Russian way. Russian Naval historians, like Nikolai Cherkashin, are not only insulted by this take on the cause of the K-129's demise, they say the true cause is much easier to pinpoint: They say an American vessel, possibly the USS Swordfish, collided with the Soviet submarine. Despite the fact that the US government has turned over many documents about Project Azorian and what it found to the Russian government, many in the Russian Navy stand by their theory that it was far too easy for the US to locate the K-129 on the bottom of the Pacific, given the technology of the time. According to these theories, Project Azorian was nothing more than an elaborate cover-up disguised as ... an elaborate cover-up. We can neither confirm nor deny that we exactly understand how that would have worked in practice or execution. It's one of the more solemn moments of the Cold War, and one that the Glomar Response helped keep a secret for a very long time.LATERAL CUTS:What Lies Beneath (https://radiolab.org/podcast/what-lies-beneath)  EPISODE CREDITS:  Reported by - Julia Barton Sign up for our newsletter!!

Bob uses U.S. economic history, centering on the greenback era, to work through some subtle but important distinctions in Austrian monetary theory. He also addresses whether free-market economies have a natural tendency toward price deflation under a commodity standard, why the stock-versus-flow distinction matters for understanding gold production and the price level, and how to distinguish "bad" policy-induced monetary deflation from the "good" price deflation that accompanies genuine productivity growth.Related:Patrick Newman, "The Depression of 1873-1879: An Austrian Perspective": Mises.org/HAP558aClarence Long, "The Course of Money Wages during 1860-1890": Mises.org/HAP558bBob's Understanding Money Mechanics: Mises.org/HAP558cBob's Article, "Hayek's Plan for Private Money": Mises.org/HAP558dThe Charts Shown in this Episode: Mises.org/HAP558e
