  • The definitive podcast(s) for Austrian Economics

    A great source of news and market information for those with an Austrian bent, the curious, or the libertarian. Offers multiple perspectives both from the mises.org blog and several podcasts run by the Mises Institute.

  • Feelings over Facts

    In this age of outrage, neo-sophistry, and feelings over fact, this is a perfect echo chamber of strawman argumentation, ad hominem attacks, poor reasoning, and completely unnecessary immersed in feelings one would think this podcast is run by women of pansies. If this is how libertarians think, I want nothing to do with them.

  • This episode about a particular topic ignores today's unfortunate human nature of blithely commenting on important issues without a full understanding of the facts. Any type of media reporting today is usually someone's personal view and not a recitation of thoroughly researched facts. What President Trump said or did not say is, sadly, not attention getting unless a personal spin is put on his words.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Murray Rothbard on War and “Isolationism”
Q: Do you care to comment on the view that the only war in which the United States has been involved, which could be justified, is the Revolutionary War?
Rothbard agrees, arguing that interstate wars aggress against civilians, whereas revolutionary warfare from below can be more libertarian and selective in targeting the state itself, often avoiding civilian harm.
Two Important Graphs and Rick Rule
Q: Where do you see gold heading in the next decade given ongoing macro pressures?
Rick Rule argues that gold should preserve purchasing power over a 10-year horizon if monetary debasement continues and demand for dollars weakens globally; a multi-fold increase in nominal gold prices is possible if the currency loses significant value, though he cautions against overconcentrating in any single asset.
Two Important Graphs and Rick Rule
Q: What are your thoughts on the current inflation dynamics and how they differ from monetary inflation as discussed by economists?
Rick Rule explains that there are multiple definitions of inflation. Monetary inflation involves expanding the money supply, while the price level gains can also reflect supply shocks and sector-specific pressures. He emphasizes cost-push inflation driven by shortages and geopolitical events, contrasting this with the traditional money-supply view.
Mark Thornton on the “Synthetic Boom”
Q: What might spark a response from the Fed or policymakers?
Signals of strain in private credit and private equity along with a tightening of financial conditions could push policymakers to pursue substantial monetary easing or QE to stabilize markets, though such moves may perpetuate the cycle of risk and delay necessary reforms.
Mark Thornton on the “Synthetic Boom”
Q: Could private equity and private credit derail the broader market?
Yes, because sequestered capital can obscure risk until a loss event reveals the vulnerabilities, potentially spreading through the economy like a virus as the Fed struggles to manage liquidity without solving underlying misallocations.
