During today’s Values Voter Summit in Washington D.C., Breitbart News Executive Director Steve Bannon pulled no punches and zeroed in on many targets.

Ludwig von Mises Understood “Meme Magic”

June 26, 2017
Culture

One of the most consistent themes through the works of Ludwig von Mises is the role ideas play in shaping society. As he wrote in Theory and History: “Thoughts and ideas are not phantoms.

December 6, 2016
Economics

In Principles of Economics, Carl Menger corrected the theoretical mistakes made by the old classical school.

Economics & History: Why This Connection Matters

August 8, 2016
Economics/Philosophy/Politics

In a recent article of mine, I debunked the red herring of  the “roads” argument that many modern socialists throw around. It turns out that lately this article has gotten some pretty lively responses from its critical readers.

Freedom is Everything

October 29, 2015
Philosophy

Although there is very little on which we agree, Marxists and socialists have provided me with some excellent philosophical discussions.  One such person recently wrote this article in which he attempted to take to task the libertarian concept of freedom.  The piece starts out well enough as he does a decent job describing how libertarians

Hayek, Statistics, and Trade-Cycle Theory

January 15, 2015
Economics

Austrian economics is often caricatured and criticized because of its approach, or deliberate lack of an approach, to mathematical models, multivariable calculus, and econometrics. Attacks are leveled against Austrians such as Mises, Rothbard, and Kirzner for their failure or refusal to avail themselves of applied empirical research in their scholarship.
