The Optimal Supply of Money: A Simple Argument

06/04/2025 Paul F. Cwik

As an economist, I am often asked how fast the money supply should grow. The answer is simple: it shouldn’t. In fact, once an economy has a money supply, any amount is optimal.

Der Sozialismus als Utopie hat leider eine große Anziehungskraft auf die Massen. Auf den ersten Blick schöne Aspekte wie Gleichheit, Brüderlichkeit, soziale Gerechtigkeit bringen leider größte Probleme mit sich, wenn sie von der Obrigkeit oktroyiert werden…und führen in aller Regel zu ihrem genauen Gegenteil. Der freiheitliche Kapitalismus auf der anderen Seite hat einen großen Teil der Menschheit aus der Armut geholt…

The Economic Fallacies Underpinning Hitler’s Disastrous Views

By Jorge Besada April 28, 2025

It is ideas that group men into fighting factions, that press the weapons into their hands, and that determine against whom and for whom the weapons shall be used. It is they alone, and not arms, that, in the last analysis, turn the scales.

It is ideas that group men into fighting factions, that press the weapons into their hands, and that determine against whom and for whom the weapons shall be used. It is they alone, and not arms, that, in the last analysis, turn the scales.

Regardless of all the suffering men like Hitler, Stalin, and Mao caused, it is vitally important to understand that they were fellow humans, like any others, who absorbed a complex set of ideas that led them to act the way they did. Although we no longer see people as being possessed by evil spirits, or heretics to be tortured or burned at the stake, many people still see these men as non-humans, maniacal creations that just commit “irrational evil,” thus overlooking what really matters—the ideas they held. Therefore, we understandably keep repeating the same fallacies and their consequences. Let us briefly try to understand some of the actual fallacies which led to Hitler’s disastrous views and actions.

Let’s begin by briefly summarizing how the modern socioeconomic order has arisen during the last 300 years, and the vital role that increasing freedom and “economic competition” played.

How Austrian Economists Repeatedly Saved Civilization

01/29/2025 Jorge Besada

Founder of the Austrian School of economics, Carl Menger, some of his most famous intellectual descendants like Ludwig von Mises, 1974 Nobel Laureate in Economics F.A. Hayek, and author of the best-selling  Economics in One Lesson Henry Hazlitt could be said to have literally saved civilization via their educational efforts on multiple occasions.

„Um 1900 war in den deutschsprachigen Ländern praktisch jeder entweder ein Statist [Interventionist] oder ein Staatssozialist. Der Kapitalismus wurde als eine schlechte Episode betrachtet, die glücklicherweise für immer beendet war. Die Zukunft gehörte dem „Staat“. Alle Unternehmen, die sich für eine Enteignung eigneten, sollten vom Staat übernommen werden. Alle anderen sollten so reguliert werden, dass Unternehmer daran gehindert werden, Arbeiter und Verbraucher auszubeuten. ….“
Ludwig von Mises

„Es gab nur wenige, die die Lage klar erkannten. Die Menschen waren so sehr von der Unvermeidlichkeit des Bolschewismus überzeugt, dass ihre Hauptsorge darin bestand, sich einen günstigen Platz in der neuen Ordnung zu sichern. Die katholische Kirche und ihre Anhänger, die Christlich-Soziale Partei, waren bereit, sich mit den Bolschewisten anzufreunden, und zwar mit demselben Eifer, mit dem die Bischöfe und Erzbischöfe zwanzig Jahre später den Nationalsozialismus umarmen würden….“
Ludwig von Mises

Hallelujah! Predident Trump Actually Wants To Give Peace a Chance

David Stockman, February 19, 2025

Wow! These are the most powerful and consequential 36 words spoken by any US President. Ever.

“One of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia, and I want to say, ‘let’s cut our military budget in half.’ And we can do that.”

Yes, from the Donald’s lips to god’s ear and all that. The practicalities and obstacle-strewn path from here to there may well be insuperable.

Pentagon Missing $824 Billion

The Pentagon, funded by you—the taxpayer—has truthfully NEVER passed an audit. Washington uses the Pentagon and Department of Defense as perhaps its favorite money laundering tool. Countless funds and supplies vanish year after year, and no one is ever investigated or punished. The corruption is blatantly in our faces. The most recent gimmick of an audit revealed that the Pentagon is unable to account for an astounding $824 billion missing from its budget. This is the seventh consecutive time that the Department of Defense has at least admitted that the agency “misplaced” hundreds of billions of dollars. Where are the funds?

BlackRock, rumored to be the biggest investor in Ukraine, looks like it will peak here in November, with sharply rising volatility into January. We have a Panic Cycle on Black Rock in April. It does not look very good for their investment portfolio.

Our computer has been warned that we had a Panic Cycle in November and a directional change in December. Zelensky will do whatever the Neocons tell him to. He thinks he will get hundreds of billions to rebuild Ukraine. I would not invest anything in Ukraine. Country Risk is now extremely high!

Navigating the Fiscal Storm: A New Course for U.S. National Defense

By Douglas Macgregor Nov 14, 2024

DEFENSE PAPER: TAMING THE WARFARE STATE

The United States is sailing through turbulent waters: the post-Cold War unipolar moment has passed, and the 21st-century geopolitical landscape is shaped by sweeping social, political, and technological change. Our current defense policy, a relic from a bygone era, is an expensive and ill-fitting suit that no longer serves its purpose. The fiscal storm is upon us, and profound changes are needed to right the ship.

Martin Armstrongs Analyse zum US-Dollar als Weltreservewährung – und warum der Dollar diesen Status vermutlich noch eine Weile innehaben wird – wenn auch mit sinkender Tendenz; bis eine Alternative gefunden wird

What Makes the Dollar the World’s Reserve Currency?

Throughout history there has always been a dominant currency. As each empire became the new financial capital of the world, their currency became the most prized and tended to circulate around the globe into even the fringe economies that they may have never heard of at that moment in time. The dollar is basking in its position as the global reserve currency, for now, but it is crucial to understand what makes a currency the global reserve.

Those who keep preaching the demise of the dollar based on antiquated theories that money must be tangible are living in the old world, where the Earth is still flat. The economy is far more dynamic and has long evolved beyond those primitive ideas. They cannot grasp that since the dollar is the reserve currency, the demand is global and not exclusively domestic.

The United States has NEVER canceled its currency, which is part of what makes it the…

Gold Climbing From Record High To Record High: Why Buy Now?

By Claudio Grass, October 29, 2024

There is no question that gold owners have been finally and spectacularly vindicated over the last months: the “barbarous relic”, the “worthless shiny rock”, as many have called the yellow metal, once again proved its value as a true safe haven. In the face of inflation, intense geopolitical turmoil and widespread uncertainty, investors fled to safety “en masse”, as they consistently, repeatedly and predictably have done for decades (if not centuries), inevitably pushing the gold price to unprecedented heights.

Top 3 Predictions for Post-Election America

By Doug Casey International Man October 17, 2024

…………..

Interest rates, the price of money, are the most important market. And, perversely, they’re the market that’s most manipulated by the Fed. Interest rates are still much lower than they “should” be, considering the amount of dollars being created by our central bank, the Fed, and the commercial banking system.

Higher interest rates are inevitable after going down for approximately 40 years, from 1982 to 2022. They last peaked in the 15-20% area in the early 1980’s. They bottomed in 2022. They’ll likely go up for many years from here, regardless of what the Fed or the US Government wants……

Get liquid. Be a prepper and set aside a few months’ worth of essentials in case the going gets tough.

Build your savings not necessarily in dollars, but in gold, silver, and Bitcoin…….

Gold’s Potential Is Wildly Untapped

SchiffGold.com October 9, 2024

Yesterday Peter joined Michael Gayed and Will Rhind on the Lead-Lag Report. They cover a variety of topics, including the future of the dollar, China’s role in the economy, the prospects of war in the Middle East, and gold’s path to a $3000 price point and beyond.

Early in the interview, Peter laments the possibility that the United States will decline economically. China is poised to surpass our economy as the dollar continues to weaken:

Can America Survive Global De-Dollarization?

10/04/2024 Daniel Kowalski

“Money does not grow on trees” is an old expression of wisdom that seems to have been disregarded by 21st century American policymakers. People all over the world and throughout time base their decisions primarily through lived experience. The US dollar became the world’s reserve currency in the aftermath of World War II, which is now almost eighty years ago. There is virtually no one in power at the American government or in leading institutions who has a living memory from before that period.

Global Elites‘ Plans for Feudalism 2.0 – and How You Can Resist

International Man: There’s little doubt the self-anointed elite are hostile to the middle class, which is on its way to extinction thanks to soaring inflation and taxation.

It seems they would like to implement a kinder and gentler version of feudalism.

„Das große Problem der Demokratie ist, dass die Mehrheit vom Staat mit der Zeit durch ‚Bildung‘ und Sozialleistungen zunehmend abhängig vom Staat gemacht wird und ‚staatsgläubig‘.

Und das höhlt mit der Zeit alle ‚Checks and Balances‘ aus. Eine Mehrheit aus vom Staat Abhängigen diktiert dann die Politik zu Lasten einer leistungsfähigen und leistungswilligen Minderheit.“
