<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">! DO NOT DRINK
THE WATER!<br />
Ricardo Valenzuela<br />
</span><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"></span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><br />
Mario Vargas Llosa in one of his excellent works carries out an analysis of the
content of the word; "pendejo," so popular throughout Latin America.
From Mexico to Ecuador, says the writer, the meaning is fool, silly, but
mysteriously crossing the Peruvian border becomes the opposite. In Peru a
pendejo is the classic rogue who, using his pendejes, achieves success and is
admired for that; for being a sympathetic rogue. And to define the Mexican
pendejo, in Peru the word "cojudo" is used.<br />
<br />
Some years ago when I had the opportunity to enjoy that great Mexican movie;
The Law of Herod. The scene that most struck me was when the governor analyzed
the alternatives to replace the murdered mayor of a small town in his state.
His assistant covers him with the reading of résumés of faithful members of the
party, which the governor immediately rejects until, the assistant takes one of
the files and with an "this one no," he decides to pass it without
presenting it to him. The annoying boss asks him; why not? The subaltern
responds; "Because this is very pendejo." The governor without hiding
his enthusiasm then says: "That is the one to send."<br />

In the USA, one of the most popular expressions is that which springs up as a
spring when someone expresses his intention to visit our country: “Do not drink
the water” For years I always thought that it was about preventing the American
tourists of the abnormal danger to their health that represents the ingestion
of our precious liquid which, among the multitude of diseases that it provokes,
perhaps the most famous is that which Carter made fashionable: “The revenge of
Moctezuma”. However, I believe that I had never remained in darkness for so
long, because recently I have come to know its true meaning, and in all
sincerity I now affirm understanding it.<br />
<br />
The advice that arises when potential tourists prepare to enter our country, is
not to prevent such an infinity of serious diseases. The real warning is
against a contagion much more serious and danger than even the revenge of all
the Aztecs. It is an alarm against the danger of acquiring that fatal syndrome
of the "Perfect Latin American Idiot." That deadly virus, among other
things, manifests itself with symptoms of an advanced mental delay that
produces illogical behaviors acquired by ethical dullness, mental laziness and
civil opportunism. Then it reveals an abdication of the faculty of thinking, of
collating words with facts, of questioning the rhetoric that serves as a
thought, and more seriously, inoculates the other merciless virus, that of
destruction.<br />
<br />
This disease, which is not unique to Mexico, is described with that elegant
style of Vargas Llosa in the narration of an anecdote happened in his country.
At the end of the 40s, a distinguished jurist governed Peru: Dr. Jose Luis
Bustamante y Rivero. He wrote his own speeches in a Castilian, deep and elegant
Spanish, was a man of exaggerated honesty and had the bad habit of respecting
the Constitution and laws, which he cited, every time he opened his mouth, to
explain what he was doing or It had to be done. The opposition called it
"cojurídico." That is, a fool who believed the laws are important and
had to be fulfilled. The nickname immediately became popular with the entire
population, both adopting it as the popular sport and mocking the integrity of
its leader.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, as I was devouring the news with a group of my American friends, at
the moment they reported the failure of the bill for the fiscal reform, a view
of the congress took place in which our anointed representatives full of
euphoria and "pendejés" appear. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Celebrating the banter they had just
committed. It's when one of my friends turns his gaze to me and, with force,
says: “Do not drink the water”. His message was profound and annoying. But I cannot
cover the sun with my finger, our population has been infected by that syndrome
of idiocy for longer years, maybe centuries. That idiocy that all our
politicians have demonstrated and now ends is this, the serious state of siege
that reaffirms the country, kidnapping the future of all Mexicans.<br />
<br />
A ghost travels the world affirmed Marx in his Manifesto when he referred to
communism, but never imagined the fierceness of his warning. Another ghost now
travels Mexico, the ghost of idiocy to cling to what the rest of the world
abandons. The ghost of that water that others do not have to drink for fear of
contracting the virus that has prostrated us. That contagious water more
intoxicating than the bacanora of my home state and springs from the veins
opened by demagogues like Galeano, to brutalize the sentinel of the present,
but not responsible for the future. Water that flows in torrents of wounds
inflicted to us carrying lethal weapons, the weapons of the pendejés.<br />
<br />
In another part of his story, Vargas Llosa tells how a candidate won an
election when he was accused of trafficking and fraud. The citizens voted for
him, only because he was "a great pendejo." The miseries of Mexico
will not cease until we compose the semantics of our values. When we degrade
the admired pendejos and the tricks that today preside over the destinies of
our country. Because they are not the nice, the audacious and the very audacious
practical who act as if they were beyond good and evil, those who work the
greatness of nations, but those boring characters who know their limits, and
are so unimaginative and reckless, who always live within the law.<br />
<br />
Finally I understand that the gringos do not love or bathe with the Mexican
water, it is not only dangerous, it is lethal especially for the brain. I
understand their compulsive fear of our immigrants; they do not want to get infected.
What happens to us and our semantics also happens with our country and its
institutions. The ideas, the beliefs, the systems that we have even imported,
after tasting the water, experience magical substitutions of meaning. Our
thunderous failures are largely due to our propensity to denaturalize what we
do and say, to corrupt ideas and transform the contents of the institutions
that regulate our social life, always anointed with pendejadas.<br />
<br />
The congress has just inflicted a serious injury to the country and very few
can see the real consequences. If some day Mexico finds the exit of the dark
tunnel of its misfortunes, it will be because we give the reins to the
cojuridícos, when we have taken them away from the pendejos. But with the
addiction that we have to the pendejés, I would not bet on the future. So, do
not drink the water.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">At the beginning
of the 80s I was taking a training with the Bank of America in its different
offices in California, Chicago, New York and London. In one of my stays in Los
Angeles, I was invited to a talk that would offer the Nobel laureate, Milton
Friedman, one of the men I have admired the most and, above all, the guide which
shaped my ideas of liberty and economic freedom. The event took place in one of
the elegant lounges of the bank that was crowded with people from early on. A crowd
that included the famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who years later would
become governor of California. But my big surprise was the arrival of Ronald
Reagan who a year later would be president of the United States.<br />
<br />
The theme of the conference was the critical situation that world banking system
was going through, listing motives from the misbehavior of the world economy,
the novel currency flotation system, the absence of political leaders with real
ideas of what economic development is etc. At a certain point of his talk, this
wise man made the venue vibrate when he said: "This situation is so
serious that the main banks of the world have lent more of their capital and
reserves to countries that can be considered bankrupt." Before a gloomy
murmur of the assistants, Milton Friedman makes a long pause that is taken
advantage of by someone who, breaking the protocol, almost screaming question.
"Countries in bankruptcy How, where?" The professor with a firm and
slow voice answers: "There are many, but here close to us we have two
examples; Brazil and Mexico. "<br />
</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
The gloomy murmur emerges again. The president of the bank, Tom Claussen,
trying to lower the temperature, throws a question thinking the economist would
elaborate an answer to return the calm. "But Dr, what do you mean by
qualifying these two countries in bankruptcy?" The economist with that
same firmness answers. "The two countries have a debt higher than their
GDP, without adding the liabilities with funds such as the IMSS, pensions of
government employees that have already been arranged, etc. Both are victims of
galloping inflation. Their currencies have been artificially sustained and will
soon experience aggressive devaluations. Both suffer from indescribable
corruptions. In the case of Mexico, its presumed growth has been supported only
by oil prices, and that will not last. Both have fiscal deficits that they can
no longer bear. "<br />
<br />
At that time another member of the audience interrupted him to demand: "You
already described the terrifying similarities of these two countries. Now I
ask, what's the difference? "It was when the leader of the monetarists
left his audience hysterical when he responded. "The difference, in my
opinion, is that Brazil will make it, but not Mexico."<br />
<br />
In the compound I had already identified an important official of the Mexican
government who, the previous day, in the same hotel where I was staying, kept a
long line of representatives of many world banks competing, in a market of
buyers, for the opportunity to lend PEMEX hundreds of millions of dollars in
the country in which Lopez Portillo invited citizens to prepare to manage
abundance. He was the vice chairman of the state oil company.<br />
<br />
Without hiding his annoyance this man claims. "Sir, your statements are
offensive. Please elaborate and correct your response! "If he intended to
intimidate the speaker, he failed miserably. The professor responds.
"Mexico is at a serious crossroads and the first problem that comes to
mind, not the only one, is precisely your attitude when you are offended at the
exposure of the truth, either by nationalist strategy or by ignorance, but for
that kind of attitude it is that keeps your country proud, but immobile and
poor, and the urgent required changes and real reforms are not carried out.
Now, in stating that Mexico is not going to make it, I am not giving you the
holy oil condemning it to disappear, no, but the result will be more painful and
that is to remain in that limbo of mediocrity that for many is already comfortable.
But sooner or later that situation will continue its deterioration until
descending to even lower levels of mediocrity if that is possible. "<br />
<br />
"I do not affirm there will be an armed revolution, or a coup d'état, no,
the punishment for inaction will be to maintain that state of permanent
mediocrity which, like, the serfs in the middle ages, your people will get used
to and consider normal. I think that the need or perhaps foreign pressure,
without the due conviction of the political class, will force the Mexican state
to carry out small cosmetic changes, small, incomplete and insufficient. But
deep, painful solutions, such as the unpopular creative destruction of markets,
when the markets destroy which has been build bad, and then star all over on
sound bases, will never come and the country will continue in that limbo
because there is no interest in going that route and Mexico will be in the
middle of the same mediocrity for long, long years, maybe centuries. Forgive me
if my words offend you, but I think it's something I should say. "<br />
<br />
Months later, the price of oil would collapse, the peso suffered a horrific
devaluation of 400%. Inflation soared. International reserves vanish. The
budget deficit rose uncontrollably. The banks were expropriated. The deposits
in dollars were frozen. exchange control was established. In September 1982,
the finance secretary, Jesus Silva Herzog, tired and looking defeated showed up
in Washington to declare the country's bankruptcy and beg for help. In the
following years the peso would travel from 75 per dollar to more than 3,500
pesos per dollar, inflation would reach more than 200% and the economy would
decrease double digits.<br />
<br />
Almost 40 years have passed from the shocking prophecies of Milton Friedman and
it is good to ask what has happened in all this time? Well, the Berlin Wall
collapsed, the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia abandoned communism. China does
the same. The satellite countries of Russia in Eastern Europe have marked the
path towards economic freedom achieving great prosperity. Other countries have
emerged with the label of economic miracles such as Australia, New Zealand,
Ireland. The states that were Mexican and now form the southwestern US (CAL,
AZ, TX, NM, COL) have reached a GDP seven times higher than Mexico.<br />
<br />
To the wrath of the enemies of Milton Friedman, including the offended one who
claimed to speak with the truth on that occasion, Chile has become the only
Latin American country rich, developed, and with a bright future thanks to the
actions of the Chicago Boys who were led by Milton Friedman and Arnold
"Alito" Harberger, who had in the hated Pinochet, full support to
implement and operate their plans that were the salvation of Chile from the
clutches of communism and open the door of the first world.<br />
<br />
But Mexico continues submerged in mediocrity and everything indicates that it
will remain there. Ah, but we Mexicans are so proud of the great democratic
example that we gave by choosing a madman that, with the lightning that is already
taking place, presages the destructive tempest that is coming. No, it will not
turn Mexico into another Venezuela, it will simply relocate it to the level of
mediocrity because, apparently, like the women beaten by the husbands say, we
miss the blows and we ask them more often and with more intensity. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span><br />

Last
Thursday, US President Donald Trump, signed an executive order to
impose tariffs on aluminum and steel imports — of 10 percent and 25
percent respectively — exempting Canada and Mexico. In large part,
the that protectionist measure is in response against the phenomena of
"dumping," in which it is believed that some regimes — specifically the
Chinese — are subsidizing steel exports.<br />
The Chinese are not the only ones known to subsidize exports, however, and we have seen the Spanish state do this as well <a href="https://mises.org/wire/dont-tax-spanish-olives-%E2%80%94-and-dont-subsidize-them-either">with Spanish-grown olives</a>.<br />
It
is interesting then, that among the countries and geopolitical blocs
that have denounced that Trump’s policy is the European Union. In
fact, in response to the new US tariffs, European Commission president,
Jean Claude Juncker, has threatened tariffs on Harley Davidson
motorbikes and jeans brands like Levi’s, both made in the US.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Nevertheless,
the EU has already engaged in a trade war remarkably similar to that
the Trump administration is now implementing. Following a European steel
industry complaint, the European Commission found “dumping” practices
in China, so the Commission raised new barriers to “corrosion-resistant
steel from China” with "anti-dumping" duties of up to 28.5%.<br />
Additionally
the EU boasts of “an unprecedented number of trade defense measures in
place targeting unfair imports of steel products, with a total of 43
anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures, 20 of which are on products
originating from China.” Leaving aside the fact that the Obama
administration <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/id/46130609" target="_blank">indulged in protectionist measures as well</a>, it must be said the EU is being hypocritical again on trade issues.<br />
<h4>
The EU's Protectionism</h4>
There
is no coherence on EU policies in regards to trade. If Brussels’
bureaucrats last year imposed anti-dumping measures based on import
tariffs as a way to punish Chinese steel producers, it is difficult to
understand why EU officials now react with so much dismay against those
recent measures taken by the Trump Administration. But some of us may
know EU establishment is not exactly known for its consistency. But, we
do know that protectionism — understood in this case as a political
reaction against foreign competition — ought to now be expected from EU
officials. After all, thousands of import taxes are applied by EU
officials, and existing bilateral agreements and the Agrarian Common
Policy are clear evidence of the Commission's lack of support for free
trade. When EU defenders talk about the“single market” they don't mean
"free market."<br />
But, even if the Chinese are subsidizing exports,
this is not justification for the US to engage in a global trade war in
name of “free and fair trade.” It is a shameless act of mass thievery,
and the problem of government intervention of markets isn't solved with
even <em>more </em>intervention. As Lew Rockwell has noted:<br />
<blockquote>
The whole point of free trade is that the private sector (producers <em>and</em> consumers)
should have peaceful and voluntary commercial relations with the world,
and the U.S. government should have nothing to say about it. </blockquote>
Nor
should the EU government have anything to say about it either. While
Trump is wrong in his tariff stance, the European Union is exposing
itself as an organization guided not by open markets or free trade, but
by "anti-Trumpism." If the EU were really committed to free trade, it
would be calling for unilateral liberalization. But that's not something
the EU has ever been about.<br />

[This article, originally titled "Reciprocity," is excerpted from <a href="http://mises.org/document/6299/The-Bastiat-Collection"><i>The Bastiat Collection</i></a> (2011); it appeared in <i>Economic Sophisms</i> (1845).]<br />
<br />
We have <a href="http://mises.org/daily/6183/Immense-Discovery">just seen</a> that
whatever increases the expense of conveying commodities from one
country to another — in other words, whatever renders transport more
onerous — acts in the same way as a protective duty; or if you prefer to
put it in another shape, that a protective duty acts in the same way as
more onerous transport.<br />
A tariff, then, may be regarded in the
same light as a marsh, a rut, an obstruction, a steep declivity — in a
word, it is an obstacle, the effect of which is to augment the
difference between the price the producer of a commodity receives and
the price the consumer pays for it. In the same way, it is undoubtedly
true that marshes and quagmires are to be regarded in the same light as
protective tariffs.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
There are people (few in number, it is true,
but there are such people) who begin to understand that obstacles are
not less obstacles because they are artificial, and that our mercantile
prospects have more to gain from liberty than from protection, and
exactly for the same reason that makes a canal more favorable to traffic
than a steep, roundabout, and inconvenient road.<br />
But they
maintain that this liberty must be reciprocal. If we remove the barriers
we have erected against the admission of Spanish goods, for example,
Spain must remove the barriers she has erected against the admission of
ours. They are, therefore, the advocates of commercial treaties, on the
basis of exact reciprocity, concession for concession; let us make the
sacrifice of buying, say they, to obtain the advantage of selling.<br />
People
who reason in this way, I am sorry to say, are, whether they know it or
not, protectionists in principle; only, they are a little more
inconsistent than pure protectionists, as the latter are more
inconsistent than absolute prohibitionists.<br />
The following apologue will demonstrate this.<br />
<h4>
Stulta and Puera</h4>
There
were, no matter where, two towns called Stulta and Puera. They
completed at great cost a highway from the one town to the other. When
this was done, Stulta said to herself, "See how Puera inundates us with
her products; we must see to it." In consequence, they created and paid a
body of obstructives, so called because their business was to place
obstacles in the way of traffic coming from Puera. Soon afterwards Puera
did the same.<br />
At the end of some centuries, knowledge having in
the interim made great progress, the common sense of Puera enabled her
to see that such reciprocal obstacles could only be reciprocally
hurtful. She therefore sent an envoy to Stulta, who, laying aside
official phraseology, spoke to this effect: "We have made a highway, and
now we throw obstacles in the way of using it. This is absurd. It would
have been better to have left things as they were. We should not, in
that case, have had to pay for making the road in the first place, nor
afterwards have incurred the expense of maintaining obstructives. In the
name of Puera, I come to propose to you, not to give up opposing each
other all at once — that would be to act upon a principle, and we
despise principles as much as you do — but to lessen somewhat the
present obstacles, taking care to estimate equitably the respective
sacrifices we make for this purpose." So spoke the envoy. Stulta asked
for time to consider the proposal, and proceeded to consult, in
succession, her manufacturers and agriculturists. At length, after the
lapse of some years, she declared that the negotiations were broken off.<br />
On
receiving this intimation, the inhabitants of Puera held a meeting. An
old gentleman (they always suspected he had been secretly bought by
Stulta) rose and said, "The obstacles created by Stulta injure our
sales, which is a misfortune. Those we have ourselves created injure our
purchases, which is another misfortune. With reference to the first, we
are powerless; but the second rests with ourselves. Let us, at least,
get rid of one, since we cannot rid ourselves of both evils. Let us
suppress our obstructives without requiring Stulta to do the same. Some
day, no doubt, she will come to know her own interests better."<br />
A
second counselor, a practical, matter-of-fact man, guiltless of any
acquaintance with principles, and brought up in the ways of his
forefathers, replied: "Don't listen to that Utopian dreamer, that
theorist, that innovator, that economist, that Stultomaniac. We shall
all be undone if the stoppages of the road are not equalized, weighed,
and balanced between Stulta and Puera. There would be greater difficulty
in going than in coming, in exporting than in importing. We should find
ourselves in the same condition of inferiority relatively to Stulta as
Havre, Nantes, Bordeaux, Lisbon, London, Hamburg, and New Orleans are
with relation to the towns situated at the sources of the Seine, the
Loire, the Garonne, the Tagus, the Thames, the Elbe, and the
Mississippi, for it is more difficult for a ship to ascend than to
descend a river. (A Voice: Towns at the mouths of rivers prosper more
than towns at their source.)<br />
"This is impossible. (Same Voice: But
it is so.) Well, if it be so, they have prospered contrary to rules."
Reasoning so conclusive convinced the assembly, and the orator followed
up his victory by talking largely of national independence, national
honor, national dignity, national labor, inundation of products,
tributes, murderous competition. In short, he carried the vote in favor
of the maintenance of obstacles; and if you are at all curious on the
subject, I can point out to you countries where you will see with your
own eyes road makers and obstructives working together on the most
friendly terms possible, under the orders of the same legislative
assembly, and at the expense of the same taxpayers, the one set
endeavoring to clear the road, and the other set doing their utmost to
render it impassable.</div>

One
of the great controversies in modern society concerns the necessary and
required functions of government. There are few who disagree that if
government is to exist then it certainly has the duty and responsibility
to secure and protect essential rights of every individual, including
the right to life, liberty and honestly acquired property. But there are
a wide variety of tasks that the private sector could better provide
that many think must be supplied by the government.<br />
Many of these
activities have been subsumed under the general notion of “public goods”
that are subject to “free rider” problems. Public goods are often
defined as a good or service from the use or coverage of which an
individual may receive a benefit, but from which he is not easily
excluded even though he does not pay a price or fee to help cover some
portion of the cost of making it available.<br />
<h4>
Free Riders and Public Goods</h4>
This
creates the problem, it is argued, of an individual choosing to take a
“free ride,” that is, not voluntarily contributing to cover the cost of
the good or service from which he benefits. The upshot of the argument
being that less of this good or service may be supplied than might
otherwise be the case if all beneficiaries were required to pay for some
part of its costs of production.<br />
The standard example almost
always given is national defense. How can any individual be successfully
excluded from an anti-missile defense system that provides umbrella
coverage to everyone within the territory of a country, whether or not
any particular person has voluntarily contributed to pay for it? Hence,
the case is made for compulsory payment in the form of taxation. (See my
article, “Public Goods, National Defense and Central Planning”.)<br />
But
whatever may or may not be the merits of the case for national defense
as a “public good,” as so defined, there are many other goods that are
argued to be in the same category, and thus also requiring government
provision through taxation. This is often said to be the case with
infrastructure and community conveniences and amenities such as roads,
bridges, parks, street lighting, and neighborhood recreational areas, as
well as town or city planning in general.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Yet, the fact is that
very few, if any, of these need be thought of in this way. Indeed,
virtually all of them can be marketed with little or no free rider
problems, or would be in the self-interest of some market participants
to supply free of charge.<br />
<h4>
Misguided and Undesirable Urban Planning</h4>
Let
us start with the widest of these presumptions, which takes for granted
the need for and necessity of town or city planning. A well-ordered and
designed community, it is said, serves the interest of all who are or
who may come to live within its environs. Yet, there is no certainty of
individual or group interest to voluntarily layout and follow a prior
plan before the development of an urban area.<br />
Street grids need to
be laid out, zoning ordinances must delimit where residential housing
will be built, industrial or manufacturing facilities will be
constructed, shopping and entertainment services are to be located, and
recreational or “green” areas are to be set aside and preserved.<br />
The
question is, why? This presumes that the urban designers, planners and
implementers know way ahead of time where the current or future
residents in these communities would find it most attractive and useful
to live, work and enjoy life. To use the phrase with which F. A. Hayek
entitled his Nobel lecture in 1974, this involves a great “pretense of
knowledge” on the part of the urban and rural planners.<br />
How can
these planners know years or even sometimes decades ahead, what types of
neighborhoods and communities people, themselves, may find more useful,
convenient and serviceable for their needs, values, and circumstances?
Instead, infrastructure and the outlay of communities should reflect and
follow where and how people wish to live, work and travel. It should
not confine and straitjacket people to the planner’s arrogant conception
of how he thinks people should live their lives in multiple layers and
interconnections with others.<br />
<h4>
Communities as Spontaneous Orders</h4>
Some
notable authors on this theme, especially Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) in
her various studies of city life, highlighted again and again that
localized neighborhood communities within towns and cities historically
reflected the circumstances of the people, themselves. The seeming
“chaos” and disorder of people working, living, and shopping all in the
same place with apartments above retailing and small manufacturing
business enterprises on the ground floors of buildings, and children
playing on the streets under the watchful eye of parents or grandparents
looking out their apartment windows, in fact made life easier, less
costly and more safe. It created degrees of neighborhood cohesion that
often is not seen in the planned communities of the urban designers’
dreams.<br />
Also, communities change their membership as individuals
and groups move up the income ladder or are able to take advantage of
employment opportunities in other places. This, too, means that
communities within towns and cities need the flexibility over time to
reflect the values, needs and circumstances of their new residents. The
rigidity of urban planning and zoning laws restrict the capacity for
this adaptability to changing times and people.<br />
The apparent
disorder and chaos of urban and other areas not created according to
central or regional plans may create discomfort and confusion for the
city planners, but it represents the patterns, structures and
arrangements of the spontaneous order of a free society. This is just
another form and instance of the same “invisible hand” process that
various economists highlight when they emphasize emerging market order
without central intentional design.<br />
<h4>
Private Thoroughfares vs. Road Socialism</h4>
The
same applies to thoroughfares. Roads, streets, and highways should be
built and shifted and “modernized” over time to reflect where people
want to go. But how could markets provide roads, streets or highways?
Are these not “public goods” requiring the guiding, planning, and taxing
hand of government?<br />
To begin with, toll roads by both government
and the private sector have long histories in both Europe and the United
States. The fact that so many of us have become used to and take for
granted “road socialism” (to use the phrase of the American nineteenth
century economist, Francis A. Walker) does not mean that the private
sector and the profit motive could not work here as elsewhere in
society. Nor need there be the presumed inconvenient of frequent stops
and slowdowns to go through tollbooths.<br />
Many of us have driven on
highways that are toll roads in certain states around the country.
Sensors on these highways read the electronic “passes” attached to the
front windshield of automobiles, and simply automatically deduct the
charges similar to a bank debt card. For instance, through the northeast
corridor of some mid-Atlantic and New England states is recognized a
shared “EasyPass” that the different state’s highway sensors mutually
respect and recognize.<br />
This “smart” technology helps demonstrate
that roads and highways are easily able to charge those using the common
thoroughfares. As one observer has pointed out:<br />
The private roads
that exist now have fewer accidents than public roads, probably in part
because they’re better maintained: If private road builders let
potholes remain, get reputations for high accident rates, or do repairs
during rush hour, they have to deal with complaints and with people
choosing other roads.<br />
Pollution and pollution controls on
automobiles would also be handled by road privatization. If auto
pollution were to grow too thick, people living near the offending roads
would sue the biggest, most obvious target: the road owners. Road
owners would therefore charge higher fees for cars without up-to-date
inspection stickers.<br />
<h4>
Roads and Parking Areas Intentionally Made for Free Riders</h4>
In
addition, there would be many instances in which land developers would
see the profitable gain from supplying and maintain roads at no charge
to the users. Go to any enclosed or open shopping mall. There is often a
large parking lot surrounding it, with one or more access roads leading
to the main, nearby, thoroughfares.<br />
These are usually provided
with no parking fees precisely because the company or corporation owning
and operating the shopping mall want customers to come on to their
property and have easy access to the mall facilities. The more people
finding it easy and safe to come do their shopping on their property the
more attractive are the rental units inside the mall and, therefore,
the willingly paid occupancy fees by the retail businesses who want
their stores in that mall.<br />
Many of these malls are entertainment
centers all their own. They are well maintained, designed to be
aesthetically attractive, and offer holiday festivities to customers at
no charge. “Free riders” who enter the mall at no cost, who may simply
walk around, or sit on one of the mall walkway benches, and spend the
time listening to music, reading a book, or text messaging to friends,
and not buy a thing, does not inhibit the mall owners from making it
“open to the public” and free of charge.<br />
For every free rider
there are many others who actually shop and generate revenues for the
retail outlets and the mall owners. The free rider cost is more than
worth the revenue generating benefit.<br />
<h4>
Downtowns, Condos and Housing Associations</h4>
Similarly,
“downtown” areas with hotels, restaurants, and shops and apartment
units could, and no doubt, would form their own owner and renter
associations for the providing of related infrastructure, including
streets, lighting, parking, and cleaning services in their mutual
self-interests, if government no longer was considered to have tax-based
responsibility for the provision of many of them.<br />
We see this is
in condominiums or gated communities. The developers and maintainers of
the facilities have profit-making incentives for supplying common area
amenities and conveniences precisely because it makes residence in these
areas more attractive and higher valued for owners and rental
residents.<br />
Homeowner associations that are not “gated” are the
complement to this, with residents paying fees in the areas and
communities in which they live as part of the contractual agreement in
purchasing a house in that neighborhood. Everything from streetlights,
parks, recreational facilities, walking and biking paths, doggy poop bag
disposing bins, to tree and shrubbery care in the “public” areas are
widely provided, and even when visiting free riders are able to enjoy
many of these amenities, and all at the expense of others.<br />
<h4>
Much Smaller Government in the Society of the Future</h4>
My
purpose has been to briefly bring attention to a few of the
non-governmental possibilities in areas of everyday life in which it is
presumed that it is necessary for government to provide these services
or goods at taxpayers’ expense, because it is assumed that they fit some
form of the “public goods” category, when in fact they need not or do
not.<br />
Some things presumed to be “non-excludable” for many users in
fact can be privatized and offered for a fee or a price. At the same
time, the world abounds with “free riders,” from the person who attends a
church service but puts nothing into the collection plate when it is
passed around to defray the expenses of maintaining that house of
worship, to the individual who sits in a shopping mall to get out of the
summer heat and whiles away some free time without buying a thing in
any of the stores.<br />
Normally, churches want to attract free riders
as part of their outreach to non-believers at the expense of the
parishioners who have voluntarily contributed to the religious
organization’s activities. And many in the private sector offer access
to and use of “free” goods as part of the operating costs of attracting
customers from whom they hope to directly or indirectly earn profits.<br />
Whatever
may or may not be the functions of government, the market and the
associations of civil society could easily and, no doubt, far more cost
effectively and efficiently would provide a large number of these
“public goods” and common area conveniences, rather than being dependent
upon any tax-funded government to have them supplied. In a truly free
society, the scope of government easily can be reduced to a much smaller
domain than even many friends of freedom often think.<br />

The
actual negotiations could easily run right up to the deadline in March
2019, when Britain is due to leave. If no agreement is forthcoming by
that date, both sides might agree to extend negotiations, but that only
seems likely if there is a good prospect of an agreement. Otherwise,
Britain leaves and falls back on WTO trading rules, or does away with
tariffs altogether. This is seen by the EU negotiators as a threat to
Britain, believing it is Britain which is running out of time.
Therefore, if Britain wants a trade deal, she must make it clear that a
no-deal option is attractive to her. And, be it clearly understood, the
negotiations only cover a minor part of the UK’s overall economy.<br />
<h4>
It’s Much Ado About Not Much Trade</h4>
WTO
tariffs apply to physical goods, involving only £143bn exported from
the UK’s £2,000 billion economy to the EU, and imports from the EU of a
larger £235.5bn. Excluding agricultural products of some £5bn (net of
spirits), average trade-weighted tariffs on goods imported into the EU
from non-member states without a trade agreement is only
2.3%.[i] Therefore, the EU’s external tariffs which will be applied to
UK non-agricultural goods exports to the EU involves only 7.5% of the
UK’s GDP, and is a tax on EU citizens amounting to roughly £2bn. Is this
really worth arguing over, and paying massive divorce fees?<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The
larger issue is services, and here we must differentiate between
services sold to consumers, such as retail investments, and wholesale
services, such as capital market operations, commercial lending, legal
services, architectural services, etc. The retail services involved are
not material, and in any event are easily distributed through
locally-incorporated subsidiaries in Dublin and Luxembourg. Wholesale
services are generally excluded from trade agreements for practical
reasons.<br />
Therefore, if a trade agreement is not forthcoming, the
cost to British business as a whole is not as material as the Remainers
and lobbying businesses have it, and certainly less than the implied
cost of normal currency volatility on cross-border settlements. One
should conclude that the absence of a trade agreement costs considerably
less than the UK Government paying money to the EU for an
implementation period.<br />
<h4>
The Current State of the Brexit Debate</h4>
It
is becoming clear that the Remainers are driven by little more than a
desire to prevent change while distrusting free markets. Nick Clegg, who
was Deputy Prime Minister in the Conservative/Liberal-Democrats
coalition, has recently published a book entitled <em>How to stop Brexit (And make Britain great again)</em>[ii].
There are no substantive arguments in favour of Remain, not even a
neo-Keynesian discourse. Make Britain great again? The book is
miss-sold. There is nothing on the subject of the book’s subtitle at
all.<br />
Mr Clegg’s unquestioning assumption, which he appears to
share with other leading Remainers, is Brexit is just plain wrong. He
makes much of the Brexit campaign’s supposed lies about the extent of
the rebate when Britain leaves the EU. There was no lie: it merely
failed to differentiate between the funds Britain would save, and the
money that is spent by the EU in the UK funded by the UK taxpayer. The
latter amount is decided by the EU, not the UK, so all the Brexiteers
were quoting was a gross figure sent to Brussels, which on Brexit would
become available to the Government to save or spend as it sees fit.<br />
Furthermore,
there was no mention of “project fear”, the Remain campaign’s concerted
effort to frighten voters into voting Remain. But, as we saw only this
week, the pro-Remainers in the establishment are at it again. They<a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-42884610" target="_blank"> prepared and leaked another negative report</a>
based on the same economic modelling. A reasonable person would have
been so embarrassed by the failure of the first attempt at economic
propaganda, as to not repeat it. But we are dealing with ingrained
beliefs, not reason.<br />
On the evidence, Remainers cannot argue their
case effectively. Furthermore, the cost of backtracking on Brexit,
which receives too little attention, is now considerable, and almost
certainly unpalatable to the electorate. Unless Britain does achieve a
proper Brexit, she becomes, taking the words of <a href="https://mises.org/blog/can-uks-jacob-rees-mogg-put-conservatives-back-track">Jacob Rees-Mogg</a>,[iii] a
vassal state, having lost considerable political credibility and the
ability to influence EU policy as she has done before.<br />
Realistically, bridges have been burnt, even though the panjandrums in Brussels want Britain to change her mind. The <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/083dd8b6-6bf4-11e7-bfeb-33fe0c5b7eaa" target="_blank">Thatcher rebate</a>
would certainly be lost, and Brussels is preparing more onerous
regulations in the knowledge Britain can no longer obstruct the EU
executive’s plans. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobin_tax" target="_blank">Tobin tax on financial transactions</a> can now be introduced, which would kill the City, <em>if Britain remained</em>,
more certainly than any threat from Paris and Frankfurt as rival
financial centres. A Tobin tax introduced in Euroland after Britain
leaves would see Eurozone wholesale financial business migrate to
London.<br />
If Britain backtracks or compromises on sovereignty, it
will be disastrous for her, and little account has been taken of the new
opportunities for the City, operating from outside the EU.<br />
<h4>
Enter the European Research Group</h4>
The
ERG, unlike its name might suggest, is the grouping of pro-Brexit
backbench Conservative MPs determined to ensure Britain truly leaves the
EU. The recent appointment of Jacob Rees-Mogg, as its new high-profile
chairman, promises a new dynamism in the battle between the Brexiteers
and the Remainers. The ERG has considerable power, being comprised of
sixty MPs while Mrs May commands no overall majority.<br />
Further
pressure is being applied through the 1922 Committee, which officially
represents all backbench Conservative MPs. Amongst them are Remainers
and those without well-defined opinions, the latter becoming
increasingly alarmed at the lack of a clear government policy. If
forty-eight of them formally write to the 1922 Committee expressing no
confidence in Mrs May, an election for a new leader (and therefore prime
minister) is automatically triggered. It is rumoured that forty such
letters have already been received. Between the ERG and the 1922
Committee, the Brexiteers’ ability to pressure the Government into
sticking with a firm Brexit policy is increasing.<br />
All this lends
support to Mrs May’s original Lancaster House declaration, which is what
the ERG is seeking to achieve. In the Commons, opposition to Brexit has
been subdued enough to get the required legislation through the House,
without major concessions. This is not the case, however, in the Lords,
which by sending legislation back to the Commons for reconsideration
threatens to delay the whole process at a time of tightening deadlines.<br />
Mrs
May’s greatest problems are likely to be in dealing with her own
advisors, senior civil servants whose only world is one of bureaucracy,
and the Treasury, populated with staunch neo-Keynesians. Bureaucrats
resist change, particularly when it involves a whole new paradigm, which
is always seen as risky. And the Treasury believes in manipulating the
economy to enhance tax income, the antithesis of any free market
proposition, with which it has little empathy.<br />
These operators are
unhappy at the prospect of past agreements being torn up to be replaced
by, in their view, uncertainty. Thus, Oliver Robbins, whose job is to
coordinate negotiations with the EU from Downing Street, and Sir Jeremy
Heywood, the Cabinet Secretary, are seen by the ERG to be pursuing a
policy of fudging the changes required for a true Brexit. And Philip
Hammond, the Chancellor, is now being downright obstructive.<br />
However,
governments have a duty to represent the electorate, not the permanent
establishment, which is there to serve ministers in pursuing government
policy. Individual ministers are meant to toe the agreed policy line.
Mrs May, in trying to accommodate the Remainers, appears to be in danger
of siding with the permanent establishment and the Treasury, against
her own stated policy, instead of firmly instructing it to do the
Cabinet’s bidding. Doubtless, the ERG will ram this point home.<br />
<h4>
Keeping the Broader Picture in Sight</h4>
It
is always difficult for a prime minister at the coal-face of day-to-day
problems to retain a broader vision. The ultimate prize for Mrs May
would be to go down in history as having laid the foundations for a
prosperous Britain. To achieve this, she must have a proper
understanding of free trade, as Robert Peel acquired when he sided with
Richard Cobden and abolished the Corn Laws in the 1840s. Unfortunately,
Mrs May has little option but to listen to risk-averse advisors and
central planners who deny the primacy of free markets, not just for
handling day-to-day issues, but also, it appears, to guide her for the
broader picture. In short, she has to have an independence and resolve
to act despite her advisors’ advice.<br />
Some members of Mrs May’s
Cabinet do understand free trade. They include heavyweights such as
Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, David Davis and Liam Fox. Even though
Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, has been persuaded against it by his
permanent staff, the ERG does have powerful allies in the Cabinet.[iv]<br />
The
European Research Group understands, to a reasonable degree at least,
the fallacies of central planning and the faults of the socialism of the
European project, while understanding the benefits of free trade. Its
leadership should be well placed for the task. This is where the
position of Mr Rees-Mogg is important. He personally appears to
understand the benefits of free markets, has a good grasp of the
individual Brexit issues, and argues his case well. This is in sharp
contrast with the Remain camp, and the middle ground of lobby-fodder on
both sides of the House.<br />
That middle ground is his to win, but
time is severely limited. To do so he must not only argue his case well,
but also get the following points across, loud and clear:<br />
<ul>
<li>The
best outcome for the British consumer is no tariffs, and their removal
is the responsibility of the UK Government. The best outcome for the
economy is not found in protecting business through trade tariffs,
because that is to the detriment of the consumer.</li>
<li>Current EU
trade tariffs disadvantage the poor most. This point will become
increasingly relevant when price inflation gathers pace ahead of the
final Brexit date (March 2019), as the global credit cycle progresses.
An appreciation of this simple fact makes tariffs indefensible, and a
clean break Brexit becomes more obviously the best solution.</li>
<li>No
separation payments should be made to the EU, unless they are
specifically itemised and contractually justified. The capital payments
demanded by the EU in any political compromise are not only a needless
expense, but an imposition on the Treasury’s finances which are already
in deficit. Furthermore, the loss of revenue from the removal of all
tariffs is a considerably smaller sum than the amounts demanded by the
EU negotiators.</li>
<li>The Treasury must be persuaded that free trade
leads to a stronger economy, which will be reflected in higher tax
revenues. Moreover, a botched compromise, effectively being advocated by
the Treasury, is a significant threat to the government’s finances.</li>
<li>There
is no need for an implementation or transition period. These extensions
do not encourage businesses to adapt to Brexit so much as they delay
the necessary changes. Any such period should be firmly restricted to be
as short as possible and involve no payment.</li>
</ul>
In any event,
time is short, not only given the Brexit timetable, but ideally it must
be concluded, or at least set in stone, before the disruption of the
next crisis of the global credit cycle.<br />

Cuando los medios de comunicación o los

suelen referirse a ella como “el autodenominado Estado Islámico”.
Resulta llamativo que no se use una construcción similar al mencionar a

Confieso que al tiempo de escribir esta
nota no tengo idea de qué quieren decir los liberales de izquierda
cuando hablan de “populismo” o cuando tildan a tal o cual político de
“populista”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Y si vamos a quedar mal hagámoslo por
mayor: menos comprendo cuando la izquierda habla de “neoliberalismo”. Es
evidente que hoy por hoy todo bicho que camina va a parar al asador del
populismo. Es una frase de moda: como “panelista”, “redes sociales” y

Sampaoli es el nuevo director técnico,
seleccionador o entrenador del plantel mayor de la Asociación del Fútbol
Argentino, una entidad supraestatal subvencionada hasta el hartazgo por
el pueblo de la Nación argentina. Y eso gusta. Los dos anteriores
directores técnicos se llevaron por haber sido rescindidos sus
contratos, cien millones pesos: es decir, algo así como unos siete
millones de la verde moneda, la que vale y no tiene animalitos impresos.
Pero intuimos que se podrá llegar a un acuerdo por mucho menos. Algo
así como un Pacto de la Moncloa,</div>

y entra a la sala donde los demás ya disfrutaban de los aperitivos, se sirve un
jerez y pregunta ¿no nos va acompañar Vallian? Responde don Julián, no, porque
parece que los apaches que estaba siguiendo le pegaron un rozón y está
descansando en su habitación. Pilar no solo sorprendida sino muy alarmada
pregunta. Pero ¿Qué pasó? ¿Está bien? Si, responde don Julián, solo le pegaron
un balazo cerca del cuello, pero está bien. Pero como que está bien, le pegaron
un balazo, no puede estar tan bien, replica Pilar. No me digas que te preocupa
el muchacho Pilar. Por qué de una vez nos dices quien en realidad es Vallian,
que de repente aparece y lo recibes con brazos abiertos como si fuera tu hijo, y,
aparentemente, lo estás invistiendo con una serie de importantes
responsabilidades, revira Pilar.</span></b></div>

dice Don Julián, pero si hablo necesito de parte de ustedes un solemne
juramento de que van a guardar este secreto, hasta que yo lo decida. Uno por
uno juran guardar el secreto. Bien, dice don Julián. Vallian es mi sobrino.
Todos se quedan con la boca abierta sin entender lo que decía. No me
interrumpan y les voy a explicar. Mi esposa, en paz descanse, tuvo un hermano
que era<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>muy aventurero y alrededor de
1840, después de haber emigrado a EU, sus inquietudes lo hicieron aparecer en
Los Sicomoros. La rama familiar de ustedes, ya se habían marchado a España y
aquí viene lo triste de la historia. Mi padre tuvo una hija menor que yo, se
llamaba Victoria y era sus ojos. Pero este bastardo la sedujo y desapareció.
Ella había quedado embarazada y daba a luz un niño. A la muerte de mi padre, el
tío Florentino, el menor de los hermanos de Zamora, asumía el liderazgo moral
de la familia, se volvió loco y antes que Victoria se recuperara, el hizo
arreglos para que alguien lo adoptara y olvidarnos había existido.</span></b></div>

<span style="color: maroon;"><strong>Comparto mi vivencia visitando a la <a href="http://www.lacamara.org/website" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Cámara de Comercio de Guayaquil</a>
por una razón muy simple, que bien la ha resumido el historiador
británico Niall Ferguson: “Me gustaría preguntar hasta qué punto es
posible que prospere una nación verdaderamente libre en ausencia de una
sociedad civil dinámica”. Que sea una lección para Chile.</strong></span></div>

Decía mi madre que los pilotos
ecuatorianos son los mejores, porque “siempre aterrizan suave”. Recordé
su observación al arribar a Guayaquil la semana pasada, tocando la pista
del aeropuerto José Joaquín de Olmedo como una seda.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vuelvo siempre feliz, como a casa, a la
ciudad y puerto donde pasé los mejores días de mi infancia, entre Los
Ceibos, el Colegio Heidi, el Policentro y el kilómetro 10 de la vía
Daule, donde estaba la empresa de alimentos balanceados que dirigía mi
padre. Por eso, desde siempre me importa lo que ocurre en Ecuador. Y
particularmente lo que pasa en Guayaquil.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
El 8 de octubre de 1565, la expedición
naval comandada por el explorador y fraile vasco Andrés de Urdaneta
arribaba al puerto de Acapulco. Habían perdido 14 tripulantes a lo largo
de una ruta de 20.000 kilómetros. Los que llegaban, con la excepción
del propio Urdaneta y Felipe de Salcedo —otro tripulante—, estaban
demasiado débiles hasta para echar el ancla. Pero lo habían conseguido.
Después de una travesía de 130 días e interminables penurias habían
hallado el “tornaviaje” para regresar de Manila a México. El comercio
entre Asia y América se hacía viable. No eran conscientes de ello, pero
su descubrimiento daría pie a la primera globalización de la Historia,
con China y la América española como grandes protagonistas.</div>

Mariano Rajoy, Presidente del gobierno
español, ha salido fortalecido de la moción de censura –apenas la
tercera desde la transición a la democracia— planteada por Podemos, la
organización de izquierda radical que le disputa al PSOE, la más que
centenaria agrupación socialista, <strong>el liderazgo de la oposición y por tanto el espacio del que saldrá, es de suponer, una futura administración</strong>.</div>

además de ser la cuarta economía de la zona del euro, fue uno de los
epicentros de la debacle de la última década y, ahora, uno de los países
que va mejorando más deprisa (el crecimiento del PIB que se espera este
año roza el 3 por ciento y ya se nota, en el clima de consumo e
inversión, un fermento que hacía tiempo no se veía). Pero también es una
referencia porque el populismo, el virus de nuestro tiempo, ataca al
cuerpo político español con fuerza. </div>

Ocurrió a comienzos de los años sesenta,
en París, cuando con Juan Goytisolo nos veíamos de tanto en tanto. No
sé cómo había llegado a mis manos aquella revista del régimen, con un
gran artículo en primera página, <em>Ese pertinaz don</em> <em>Juan,</em>
acusándolo de atizar todas las conspiraciones que se tramaban en
Francia contra la España de Franco. Se lo llevé y lo leímos juntos en un
<em>bistrot</em>de Saint Germain. Pocas veces lo volví a ver tan
contento, a él, que era generalmente huraño y reservado. Aquella
diatriba le confirmaba que estaba en la buena línea: la disidencia y la
rebeldía eran ya su carta de identidad.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
La <a href="http://es.panampost.com/editor/2016/06/06/la-euforia-letal-de-la-democracia/"><em>democracia</em></a><em> </em>nos
trae la idea de un sistema que ha permitido a la gente, a lo largo de
la historia, ser parte del Gobierno y escapar de absolutismos,
despotismos, dictaduras y tiranías. Todavía recuerdo la alegría de todos
los argentinos cuando en 1983, luego de más de siete años de dictadura <a href="http://es.panampost.com/elena-toledo/2016/06/08/militarizacion-en-mexico-causo-atrocidades-contra-ddhh/">militar</a>, recuperamos la democracia y pudimos volver a las urnas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
En nuestras mentes, <strong><em>democracia</em></strong> es sinónimo de libertad de elección, libertad de expresión, libertad de acción. Y es antónimo de <a href="http://es.panampost.com/pedro-garcia/2016/06/07/referendo-revocatorio-represion-venezuela/">represión</a>, censura y autoritarismo.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Podemos casi trazar un paralelismo entre
democracia y la entrada a la vida adulta. Cuando cumplimos 18 años, en
Argentina, ya no necesitamos de la autoridad de un tercero que nos diga
qué decisiones tomar en nuestra vida. Ahora somos considerados adultos
capaces de realizar elecciones racionales. Incluso, al cumplir los 18
años, se nos considera que estamos capacitados para elegir a nuestros
gobernantes. Y la <a href="http://es.panampost.com/orlando-avendano/2016/06/09/democratas-cierran-filas-tras-hillary-clinton-para-derrotar-a-trump/">democracia</a>,
del mismo modo, es un sistema que se basa en la premisa de que los
habitantes de un país están capacitados para tomar decisiones y elegir a
sus propios gobernantes.</div>

Samuel Becerra contrajo la infección que
ya había enfermado a otros en el pediátrico JM De Los Ríos, de Caracas,
y al no contar con antibióticos, el niño de 12 años murió.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
En el Complejo Hospitalario
Universitario Ruiz y Páez, en Ciudad Bolívar, al sur del país, lo que
escasea es el agua y la salubridad, relata el oncólogo Alberto Cabello.
Allí, “se está tratando de hacer una medicina que es peor que la
medicina de guerra, porque operar un paciente en un quirófano lleno de

Y en Maracaibo, al Oeste, la escasez es
generalizada en el Hospital Adolfo Pons, donde el personal médico no
logra hacer nada por sus pacientes. El pasado 27 de mayo, 15 de ellos
murieron bajo la frustrada mirada de los galenos. “Los pacientes se
mueren porque aquí no hay nada”, relató un médico residente del hospital
al diario <em>La Verdad</em>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
El presidente Donald Trump se propone
modificar y endurecer la política de Barack Obama con relación a Cuba.
Obama, que acertó en ciertos aspectos sociales de su política interna,
erró totalmente en su estrategia cubana. Me parece, pues, razonable
cambiarla. No todo lo que Trump hace es equivocado. A veces, entre <em>tweets</em> insomnes, acierta.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Si hay algo que el jefe de cualquier
Estado debe tener muy claro, es precisar quiénes son los amigos y los
enemigos de la nación a la que le toca proteger. Trump sabe o intuye que
los Castro, desde hace décadas, intentan perjudicar a su país por
cualquier medio. En 1957 Fidel Castro le escribió una carta a Celia
Sánchez, entonces su amante y confidente, explicándole que la lucha
contra Batista (la carta está firmada en Sierra Maestra) era sólo el
prólogo de la batalla épica que libraría contra Washington durante toda
su vida.</div>

<strong>Por Lawrence J. McQuillan </strong><br />
<a href="http://www.elindependent.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>El Instituto Independiente</strong></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
La grabación de la charla TED del papa Francisco <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/pope_francis_why_the_only_future_worth_building_includes_everyone/transcript?language=en#t-5417%22">“Por qué el único futuro que vale la pena construir incluye a todos”</a> está llena de una sabiduría que entra en conflicto con las imprudentes políticas económicas por las que él aboga.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hecha pública recientemente durante la
conferencia internacional TED en Vancouver, Canadá, la charla comienza
observando que la comunidad es central para la existencia humana: "la
vida fluye a través de las relaciones. ... la existencia de cada uno de
nosotros está ligada a la de los demás: la vida no es tiempo que pasa,
sino tiempo de encuentro”.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A continuación, Francisco hizo hincapié
en la responsabilidad moral de todas las personas de ponerse en el lugar
del otro y ayudar a los menos afortunados. Esta “solidaridad”, explicó
el papa, fue exhibida por el buen samaritano de la Biblia, que
personalmente se sacrificó para ayudar a un menesteroso desconocido.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Cristián Larroulet</strong> es
una de las mentes más brillantes del liberalismo hispanoamericano. Este
economista, académico, político e investigador se formó en la
Universidad de Chicago y contribuyó a difundir en su país las ideas
liberales que acabaron haciendo de Chile una de las democracias más
prósperas del continente.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ha participado en la fundación del Instituto Libertad y Desarrollo, un <em>think tank </em>de
notable influencia en el panorama político, y también en la creación de
la Universidad del Desarrollo, constituida en 1990 y pionera en el
desarrollo de la formación superior privada. En el terreno de lo
público, ha colaborado puntualmente con presidentes de centro-izquierda
como <strong>Eduardo Frei, Ricardo Lagos o Michelle Bachelet</strong>,
si bien su principal responsabilidad llega en 2010, cuando Sebastián
Piñera le nombra ministro secretario general de la Presidencia.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/newswires/news/business/anger-erupts-flaws-burned-london-tower-article-1.3252091">AP informa</a>
que “el dolor pasó a ser indignación” ayer, a medida que los
sobrevivientes del infierno en una torre de departamentos de Londres se
enteró de que la actualización "verde" del edificio el año pasado por
parte de su propietario, el gobierno, incluyó la instalación de paneles
aislantes exteriores que alimentaron la rápida propagación del fuego de
un piso a otro.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
La indignación de los sobrevivientes se
dirige ahora al gobierno actual, individuos que pueden o no ser los
mismos cuyas políticas produjeron la escasez de vivienda que hizo a los
inquilinos del edificio depender de una vivienda gubernamental en primer
lugar—o a aquellos responsables de los modelos climáticos que alimentan
<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2017/06/17/green-energy-unlikely-to-fuel-london-style-building-fire-in-the-us-expert-says/">teorías de edificación “verde”</a>
como las que llevaron a la actualización—o, más cercanamente, a quienes
decidieron utilizar paneles aislantes no resistentes al fuego,</div>

cuenta e ignorando el consejo de don Julián, se habían alejado varias millas
del casco del rancho, y aunque el vaquero se había dado cuenta del peligro, la
exposición de Soledad pero, sobre todo, un raro sentimiento de pasar más tiempo
con la muchacha, lo empujaba a comportarse un poco irresponsable después de
que, desde hacía rato, había identificado las huellas de caballos sin
herraduras, la clase de caballos que solo montan los apaches. No le comentó a
Soledad para no asustarla, pero se sentía culpable por su irresponsable acción.</span></b></div>

galopar un buen rato, con alivio divisan las luces del rancho y cortan el
galope para continuar al paso. Es cuando Soledad le dice ¿ya te cansaste
vaquero? No, responde Vallian, pero estos caballos no están acostumbrados al
galope largo y hay que cuidarlos. Además, continua Vallian, pasé contigo una
tarde inolvidable y no quería se acabara al galope de nuestros caballos.
Soledad sonríe, pero luego seria le dice. Mira mata sietes, espero que sea una
broma, porque si no lo es, lo puedo tomar en serio y quien sabe lo que pueda
suceder. El vaquero sonríe y le dice. Como puedes pensar que un humilde vaquero
como yo, se atreva a pretender a una hermosa mujer y miembro de la realeza
española, claro que era una broma. La muchacha al parecer molesta, corta el
intercambio</span></b></div>

estado desfigurado, poco a poco, irá tomando ese control de la justicia en todo

El Ministerio de Defensa ruso ha informado esta mañana que está investigando la posible muerte de <a href="http://elpais.com/tag/abu_bakr_al_bagdadi/a">Abu Bakr al-Bagdadi</a>,
el líder del Estado Islámico. El suceso habría ocurrido el curso de un
bombardeo lanzado por aviones rusos la noche del 27 al 28 de mayo
pasado, en el que perecieron altos dirigentes de ese grupo terrorista y
más de 300 militantes.<br />
El
ataque ruso se produjo entre las 0.35 y las 0.45 del 28 de mayo, hora
local, después de recibir información sobre una reunión que se llevaba a
cabo en un suburbio al sur de <a href="http://elpais.com/tag/al_raqa/a">Raqa</a>
en la que los terroristas iban a elaborar las rutas de salida de los
militantes de la ciudad asediada. Tras verificar esa información <span>por drones</span>, aviones Su-35 y Su-34 bombardearon el lugar de la reunión.<br />

<a href="http://elpais.com/tag/donald_trump/a">Donald Trump</a> ha decidido llevar el frío a Cuba. Treinta meses después de que <a href="http://elpais.com/tag/barack_obama/a">Barack Obama</a> iniciase el histórico <a href="http://internacional.elpais.com/internacional/2016/12/16/america/1481900896_115500.html">deshielo con La Habana,</a>
el presidente de Estados Unidos va a dar marcha atrás en el proceso de
apertura. Limitará los viajes a la isla, prohibirá el flujo comercial
con el poderoso conglomerado militar (60% de la economía) y retomará a
la retórica del látigo. Es un triunfo de la línea dura, auspiciado por
los sectores anticastristas de Florida que lo respaldaron en las
elecciones, y que Trump presentará hoy al mundo como un avance de los
derechos humanos y las libertades.</div>
<div class="xmsonormal">
“La
política de Obama solo ha servido para incrementar la represión. Vamos a
dar marcha atrás y dar el poder al pueblo cubano frente a los elementos
represivos del régimen. Habrá cotas, de forma que si hay liberación de
presos o elecciones, avanzaremos”, señala un portavoz de la Casa Blanca.</div>

entrenamiento con el mismo entusiasmo de siempre. A medida que avanzaba mas le
gustaba. El nuevo ambiente de la casa de asistencia le había caído bien, la
señora era una buena mujer, sus hijos buenos muchachos y muy serios. La comida
y la atención eran muy buenas y estaba feliz con ese cambio. En el mes de
Noviembre su plan profesional da un giro inesperado. Enrique Estrada, el
encargado del Grupo de Ejecutivos en Desarrollo, le notifica que el jefe del
Departamento de Desarrollo Organizacional tenía interés en que lo asignaran a
su equipo. Ricardo de inmediato le confirma su deseo de ir a la línea no al
staff. Sin embargo, Estrada insiste en que por protocolo tenga una entrevista
con Arturo Alvaradejo, el jefe de dicho departamento y un ejecutivo prestigiado
en el grupo. La reunión se efectúa y Alvaradejo, quien era casi igual de
seductor que Ricardo, luego de varias reuniones le ofrece un paquete
interesante, especialmente en lo referente a ingresos, y lo convence para
sumarse a su grupo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></div>

después Vallian estaba en las caballerizas platicando con uno de los
caballerangos que ya conocía bien. Oye bien Pedro, necesito un caballo muy
manso para la muchacha, le dice al peón. Pero Pedro ya tenía ensillados dos
hermosos caballos, un alazán cuatralbo y le dice a Vallian, este es muy mansito,
tiene muy buen paso y es muy noble. Y luego le dice, y para usted mire lo que
le tengo, cuando salía de uno de los cubículos cabresteando un hermoso palomino
de gran alzada y una crin casi blanca. Vallian reacciona con un, que animal tan
hermoso Pedro ¿es cuarto de milla? Pregunta. El caballerango le explica; es una
cruza con la que don Julián ha estado experimentando, cuarto de milla y pura
sangre. Pues te luciste Pedro, es el caballo más hermoso que he visto. Pedro le
revira, es muy mansito Patrón, pero siempre tenga cuidado pues lo dejaron
garañón y a veces se alborota. No te apures Pedro, yo soy vaquero de adveras. Responde
Pedro por eso se lo escogí Patrón, porque sabemos que usted es hombre de a
caballo. Está bien Pedro, pero nada de patrón, me pueden decir Vallian, Rico
por Richard, o si quieran, pues hasta mata sietes. Pedro sonríe y le dice, está
bien rico. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></div>

La figura de Robin Hood es una de las banderas políticas
favoritas del socialismo. La supuesta historia de un simpático
justiciero que robaba a los malvados ricos para entregar la riqueza a
los pobres no ha sido desaprovechada por la familia socialista. La usan
como símbolo de la redistribución de la riqueza y de los impuestos
progresivos. Es como si hubieran encontrado un manual de fiscalidad
socialdemócrata entre las leyendas de la Inglaterra medieval. Con el
respaldo de tan heroico personaje no hace falta argumentación, basta con
decretar el correspondiente impuesto redistributivo.<br />

Un grupo de personas de ambos lados del Atlántico <a href="http://independent.typepad.com/elindependent/2017/06/un-frente-contra-el-populismo.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">nos reunimos esta semana en Madrid</a>
para abordar, en un foro formal y una reunión informal, el fenómeno del
populismo a propósito de la salida de un libro colectivo que he tenido
el gusto de coordinar. Convergimos allí algunos de los autores y el
prologuista para tratar de explicar las causas, las consecuencias y la
amplitud de esta cuestión central de nuestro tiempo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Allí estuvieron, debatiendo ideas en
torno al populismo, entre muchos más, los chilenos Roberto Ampuero,
Mauricio Rojas y Cristián Larroulet, los cubanos Yoani Sánchez y Carlos
Alberto Montaner, las venezolanas María Corina Machado (por video, ya
que la dictadura no la deja viajar) y Rocío Guijarro, el español Lorenzo
Bernaldo de Quirós, el argentino Gerardo Bongiovanni, Mario Vargas
Llosa y este servidor.</div>
</div>
<div class="entry-more">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
La primera constatación es que estamos,
por primera vez en la historia, ante un populismo global. Ha habido
periodos populistas en ciertos países o regiones, nunca un populismo
“viralizado” por el mundo, como si se tratara de un videoclip de Shakira
o un improbable perro verde que recibe cien millones de “golpes” en
YouTube.</div>

Son dos soluciones tecnológicas basadas en la cadena de bloques

Imaginá el siguiente escenario. Te
despertás una mañana como cualquier otra, sos el mismo, con todos tus
conocimientos, recuerdos e historia. Pero te encontrás en la Tierra
nuevamente en su estado natural. Virgen de todo tipo de tecnología,
construcciones, medios de transporte, de comunicación, medicinas, etc,
etc. No hay nada de nada, excepto la ropa con la que dormiste la noche
anterior y lo que traes dentro de tu cabeza.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Me puse a pensar cuánto tiempo podría
sobrevivir con mis conocimientos. No mucho. ¿Y cuánto podría aportar al
planeta? ¡Menos! Ni siquiera este artículo, porque no sabría ni cómo
hacer un lápiz (aunque leí <strong><em><a href="http://independent.typepad.com/elindependent/2016/01/yo-el-l%C3%A1piz.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yo el Lápiz</a></em></strong> varias veces) ni cómo obtener papel donde escribirlo. Ni hablar de una computadora. Y ya no cuento con Google para averiguarlo.</div>

<span style="color: maroon;"><strong>Este
texto es el prólogo a la edición española de El hombre, la economía y
el Estado, la obra magna de Murray N. Rothbard, publicada recientemente
por Unión Editorial.</strong></span></div>
<blockquote>
<div style="padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: #5b5b5b;"><em>Books
have always a secret influence on the understanding, we cannot at
pleasure obliterate ideas; he that reads books of science will grow
more. </em></span></strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: #5b5b5b;">Samuel Johnson, 1753.</span></strong></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Para el mundo de lengua española
constituye una excelente noticia el disponer de este texto, escrito en
inglés hace cuarenta años, pero de una notable actualidad, razón que
explica las reiteradas ediciones estadounidenses. Quienes enseñamos
Economía en el mundo universitario celebramos vivamente la iniciativa de
traducir al español una obra que dota al estudioso de una presentación
original, didáctica y atractiva que no suele encontrarse en libros de
esta naturaleza.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rothbard integra y desarrolla con
claridad y elegancia las contribuciones de la Escuela Austriaca que se
iniciaron a partir de los trabajos más importantes de Carl Menger
(1871/1950 y 1883/1985), cuyo eje central del valor subjetivo fue
ampliado por sus discípulos y continuadores de su generación y de las
siguientes, principalmente Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, Ludwig von Mises,
Friedrich A. von Hayek, Israel M. Kirzner y, como decimos, el propio
Rothbard.</div>

La mano de Melania Trump es autónoma y
va a su aire. Desde luego, si la Primera Dama tiene deseos rebeldes, los
expresa por medio de esta extremidad díscola que parece decirlo todo
con gestos breves pero firmes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Desde que Donald Trump asumió la
presidencia, han llamado la atención las instantáneas en las que la
pareja parece vivir en un permanente desencuentro. Un gélido compás. Una
evidente falta de sintonía en los desfiles, en las escalerillas de los
aviones, en las comparecencias oficiales. No hay manera de sorprenderlos
fundidos en un abrazo, regalándose una carantoña o robando una mirada
de complicidad en medio del escrutinio de las cámaras. Sencillamente,
parecen ser los protagonistas de una de esas crueles películas de
Bergman en las que las escenas de un matrimonio eran un purgatorio de
incomunicación y frialdad.</div>

En el caso de los billetes de papel, los imprimieron en grandes cantidades, sin ningún respaldo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Inflaron la demanda con dinero para
financiar déficits presupuestales y enfrentar gastos excesivos, con la
excusa de incentivar empleo y crecimiento. Los caminos para gastar más
causaron alzas de precios que empobrecieron a las mayorías y redujeron a
largo plazo el crecimiento económico.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A pesar de ser claros los efectos
sociales negativos de la inflación, emisión de medios de pago que
generan un aumento generalizado de precios, Keynes la justificó como
remedio para estimular la actividad económica. Recomendó en 1933 al
presidente de EUA, Roosevelt, la impresión de dinero y el endeudamiento
para salir de la recesión (ver págs. 158 a 160 del libro Políticas
Económicas).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A partir de la justificación de los
déficits presupuestales basados en las teorías keynesianas, los
gobiernos no solo emiten billetes, sino deudas electrónicas digitales,
sin más apoyo que la emisión de más deuda, germen de las burbujas
financieras que explotan periódicamente, como sucedió en el 2008.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Por Alberto Benegas Lynch (h)</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He apuntado en otros escritos que el uso
generalizado de la expresión “ideología” no calza con la definición del
diccionario de conjunto de ideas (también en el sentido utilizado
primeramente por Destutt de Tracy en 1786), ni con la marxista de
“falsa conciencia de clase” sino de algo terminado, cerrado e
inexpugnable, en otros términos, una pseudocultura alambrada. Como
también he escrito, esta última acepción, la más común, es la antítesis
del espíritu liberal puesto que esta tradición de pensamiento requiere
de puertas y ventanas abiertas de par en par al efecto de incorporar
nuevo conocimiento ya que éste demanda debates entre teorías rivales
puesto que el conocimiento es siempre provisorio abierto refutaciones.</div>
</div>
<div class="entry-more">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Una vez precisado lo anterior, conviene
enfatizar que, al contrario de lo que sostienen algunos profesionales de
la economía en cuanto a que hay que “manejarse con los hechos”, en
ciencias sociales, a diferencia de las físico-naturales, no hay hechos
con el mismo significado de éste último campo de estudio fuera del
andamiaje conceptual que interpreta los diversos sucesos. Sin duda que
las físico-naturales también requieren de interpretación pero en un
sentido distinto debido a que, como decimos, los llamados “hechos” son
de naturaleza distinta.</div>

Murieron Stalin, Mao, Chávez y Fidel Castro, y morirán algún día Maduro, Raúl <a href="https://es.panampost.com/karina-martin/2017/05/05/correa-homenaje-fidel-castro/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Castro</a>,
Kim Jong-un, y el resto de los actuales líderes socialistas. Pero
volverán a aparecer nuevos “mesías” ansiosos por representar e imponer
el ideal socialista, mientras la raíz filosófica que le da vida continúe
sin ser cuestionada.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A diferencia de los movimientos
colectivistas de derecha, el socialismo ha logrado conservar bastante
intacta la buena reputación de su ideal. Para resumirlo: una sociedad
igualitaria donde el bien común es el fin a alcanzar.</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Los resultados de su implementación, sin
embargo, figuran en el ranking de los genocidios más grandes de la
historia, con el primer puesto para Mao Zedong con 75 millones de
muertos y el segundo para Joseph Stalin con 23 millones de muertos,
seguidos por Adolf Hitler con 17 millones quien, por no ser considerado
un socialista entre los socialistas, goza de peor fama que sus vecinos
orientales.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A diferencia del mundo desarrollado,
donde hoy se asocia al populismo con la derecha (el nacionalismo,
el proteccionismo y la xenofobia), en América Latina esta palabra evoca
más bien a regímenes o gobiernos de izquierda, dictatoriales o
democráticos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Una excepción es el Perú. Allí, si bien
existe un populismo de izquierda, actúa también una derecha populista
que conspira contra el progreso.<strong> En ella participan el
fujimorismo –heredero de la dictadura de los 90—, varios medios de
comunicación, el cardenal y ciertos personajes públicos que uno no sabe
dónde situar profesional o moralmente.</strong></div>

Puro papel mojado. De nada sirvió la
Carta Democrática Interamericana solemnemente firmada en Lima en el 2001
por los 34 países miembros de la OEA. Sesenta muertos, cientos de
heridos y torturados y más de dos mil detenidos, pero la Organización de
Estados Americanos no pudo ponerse de acuerdo para condenar al régimen
de Venezuela tras la deriva totalitaria adoptada por Nicolás Maduro.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Casi todos los países del CARICOM, que
son aproximadamente los mismos de Petrocaribe, la Odebrecht venezolana,
corrompidos a punta de petrodólares, le vendieron al chavismo la
conciencia democrática y la compasión por los muchachos que luchan y
mueren por la libertad.</div>

Días atrás circuló a través de WhatsApp
un mensaje que rezaba así: “19 muertos en Inglaterra: el Papa habló de
‘barbárico ataque’. 54 muertos en Venezuela. El Papa dijo que dialoguen
con Maduro”. Es sensato suponer que el texto se originó en Estados
Unidos, país donde “bárbaro”, que fue lo que en realidad dijo el
pontífice, se dice “barbaric” (el término “barbárico” existe en
castellano, pero su uso no es frecuente). Al ser un idioma mestizo,
nuevo, sin raigambre ni complejos, el spanglish evita las sutilezas.
Pero en este caso el énfasis lingüístico es demasiado elocuente como
para ignorar la implicancia obvia: si hace un año y medio, cuando visitó
Estados Unidos, Francisco era un personaje querido y popular, hoy en
día su suerte parece estar cambiando, al menos dentro de la comunidad
latina. Y su actitud ante el pueblo venezolano tiene que ver con ello.</div>

Manuel Antonio Noriega, uno de los más
corrompidos y brutales dictadores que haya padecido América Latina,
acaba de fallecer de un cáncer al cerebro en la ciudad de Panamá, donde
estaba preso desde 2011, luego de haber cumplido 17 años de prisión en
Estados Unidos y cinco en Francia, por crímenes contra los derechos
humanos, colaboración con el narcotráfico, robos, torturas, lavado de
dinero sucio y una larga lista de delitos más. Aunque pagó en parte su
negro prontuario, es posible que sus hijas hereden una buena cantidad de
millones esparcidos en cuentas secretas por el ancho mundo que la
justicia de tres países no ha conseguido recuperar.</div>

quienes me acusan de “intolerante”, acostumbro a revisar de vez en cuando

que hoy se enseña en las Universidades de EE.UU. y Europa.</span></span></span></div>

hago con criterio benevolente; pero admito también que a veces (no con
frecuencia) me sorprenden académicos serios, escribiendo cosas muy buenas. Me
acaba de pasar con Richard Landes, historiador del Medioevo, afincado en
Boston. Para colmo de mi incomodidad, declara simpatía por el sionismo además
de la izquierda. Pero su “Isonomia, trabajo manual y la contribución bíblica a
la cultura democrática en el mundo moderno” (Isonomia, Manual Labor and the
Biblical Contribution to Democratic Culture in the Modern World), es simplemente,
¡brillante!</span></span></span></div>

estaba disfrutando de una novela, no a punto de iniciar la primera carga en el

cuando, por $5 pesos, mi amigo chihuahuense Manuel Pereda y yo, invadíamos un

los ricos explotadores. </span></b></div>

conversaciones no se dan cuenta que estaba anocheciendo y debían regresar. El
paisaje del rancho al iniciarse la noche era espectacular. Habia un poco de
bruma entre los bosques de cedros a las orillas de los riachuelos, que como
magia los teñía de un color casi azul. Las sierras que formaban el valle donde
se ubica el rancho, emergían como imponentes creaturas bajo el reflejo de la
luna. El ganado bramando ya se reunía en sus echaderos preparándose para la
noche, y se escuchaban los aullidos de los coyotes y lobos nocturnos. Vallien
le dice al hacendado; don Julián, su rancho es realmente un paraíso de belleza
difícil de describir. El hacendado sonriendo le revira, pues que te parece si
lo convertimos en un paraíso de libertad.</b></div>

verano de 1996. “Tiene una llamada de Gordon Tullock” me avisa mi secretaria.
De inmediato mi cerebro conecta ese nombre con el de James Buchanan premio
Nobel de economía en 1986. Tullock había sido el inseparable escudero del
laureado economista y en opinión de muchos, igualmente merecedor del premio por
haber dado vida a las teorías “Public Choice”—el proceso a través del cual
exhibían lo inservible y costoso de las burocracias mundiales. Me dice el Dr.
Tullock: “He leído tu ensayo y quiero hacerte una invitación para presentarte a
unas personas que debes de conocer.”</span></div>

el futuro de las sociedades libres deberá descansar sobre un importante pilar;
educación. ¿No cree que un buen inicio sería establecer una escuela en Los

educación para crear ciudadanos sumisos, y luego establecer un tipo de gobierno

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Hace algunos, recién anclado en
Tucson, años tuve la visita de mi buen amigo Luis Eng, exitoso agricultor y
empresario de Sinaloa. Siendo Luis de origen Chino, la conversación se orientó
hacia ese intrigante país. De repente, como si alguien me estuviera dictando le
afirmo: “China es el futuro del mundo y en los siguientes años estará
provocando grandes contorsiones globales.” </span><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Luis sorprendido me pregunta ¿Como
cuales? Continúo. “Abandonará el comunismo y cuando sus 1,000 millones de
habitantes se dediquen a producir, provocarán una seria deflación a nivel
mundial. Pero luego, ya con capacidad de compra, iniciaran una demanda mundial
para provocar entonces inflación.” Luis le dirige la mirada a su hijo y le
afirma: “Nunca se te olvide lo que nos ha dicho Ricardo.” </span></span></span></div>

del comunismo junto con el muro de Berlín etc, los ataques al capitalismo
cesaron durante un tiempo en las agendas políticas del mundo occidental. Pero
esa ola está sin duda de regreso. Así como los intelectuales mexicanos arrecian
sus ataques en contra del neoliberalismo, a nivel mundial atestiguamos la
peligrosa tendencia de tratar de nuevo de linchar lo que el establishment
considera peligroso para lograr sus objetivos; el mercado. </span></div>

<span lang="ES-TRAD" style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">En la pasada convención del partido
demócrata en la cual eligieron a Al Gore como su candidato presidencial, el
recién coronado príncipe no perdió tiempo e inició una serie de ataques a la
industria tabacalera, las compañías petroleras, empresas farmacéuticas, los
grandes compañías de seguros, Microsoft etc, etc. El surgimiento de su
candidatura en las encuestas nos indica que esa retórica populista y demagoga,
no solo no lo perjudicó, sino aparentemente le ayudó en las preferencias del
electorado. Las violentas manifestaciones en Washington, Seattle, y ahora en
las olimpiadas en Australia de parte de grupos descontentos con las “recetas
neoliberales”---según ellos---del FMI, Banco Mundial, la OMC, apuntan hacia la
misma dirección.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

que Lorenzo de Zavala ha sido una de las figures más controversiales de la
historia de Mexico. Un gran enamorado de la libertad que, en su momento, luchó
por la independencia de dos países; Mexico y Texas. De padres criollos nacido
en Yucatán en 1788, fue político, periodista, medico, diplomático. Fue uno de
los responsables de elaborar la primera constitución de Mexico en 1824. Años
después, en 1838, por azares del destino, fue también uno de los responsables
de darle vida a la primera constitución de la Republica de Texas, y convertirse
en su primer vicepresidente.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ahora si Sr. Vallian,
usted tiene la palabra para que me diga qué piensa de todo esto. El vaquero
sacudiendo la cabeza como para salir de un profundo sueño le dice: Pues mire,
don Julián, estoy al mismo tiempo impresionado, entusiasmado y confundido.
Impresionado por la forma que usted describe con tanta puntería lo que sucede
y, más importante, lo que puede suceder en esta región del mundo, al igual que
las consecuencias que esto pueda acarrear. Entusiasmado porque su elocuencia y
su pasión son realmente contagiosas, al mismo tiempo que, lo que usted
describe, es un proyecto cubierto de idealismo, pero al mismo tiempo cubierto
con sentido común. Lo que describe es un deber abandonado, y al mismo tiempo un
grito invitando y me llega otro de los pensamientos de Jefferson: “El coraje y
el valor de un hombre, es la mayoría”.<span> </span>Confundido
porque estoy ante un concepto novedoso, y, como decía mi padre, no sé cómo
hacer el quehacer.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Mire don Julián, yo
siempre he sido un hombre que maneja sus asuntos con cautela. Creo que
necesitamos platicar mas antes de que yo le pueda dar una respuesta que, desde
ya le digo, todo me apunta a que esa respuesta será positiva. Bien revira don
Julián ¿Qué le parece si pasa esta noche en el rancho y de esa forma tendríamos
el tiempo requerido? Me parece bien, responde el vaquero con una amplia
sonrisa. Bien, responde don Julián, entonces pasemos al comedor pues ya es hora
del almuerzo. Pasan a un bello comedor y las muchachas <span> </span>inician a servir los platos que serian
acompañados del mejor vino español. Durante la comida el hacendado le da al
vaquero más información de su persona. Así se entera que había perdido a su
esposa hacia algunos años, a causa de una grave enfermedad. Se entera también
que tenía dos nietos; Lorenzo e Isabel de Zavala, quienes vivían en el este.
Lorenzo ejerciendo como abogado en Nueva York, e Isabela estudiando en
Filadelfia.</span></span></div>

En las siguientes semanas establecería algunos contactos con
gentes claves del pueblo, siendo uno de ellos el sheriff, Manuel Santos, quien
al estrechar la mano y dar inicio a la conversación, de inmediato lo ubicó como
uno de los Rangers de Texas quien se hubiera construido una reputación de
hombre valiente, honesto, de una sagaz inteligencia y, sobre todo, muy diestro en
combate ya fuera con sus manos, su cuchillo Bowie y, especialmente con las
armas de fuego. Esa reputación llegaba a oídos de un importante hacendado, no
solamente vía el sheriff, también de boca de otro vaquero texano que conociera
a Vallien, desde que ambos formaran parte de una arriada de ganado de Texas
hasta Dodge City en Kansas. </div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="ES-TRAD" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Había pasado la noche
con la misteriosa dama en el hotel en que ellas se hospedaban en el centro de
la ciudad. Eran las 11 de la mañana y apenas se estaba despertando para
acordarse que había quedado de pasar por Suzette a las 9 para desayunar, y
luego un paseo por el castillo de Chapultepec. Se sentía muy mal, las crudas
cada día lo afectaban más, pero sobre todo, ya lo empezaba a invadir el
sentimiento más cruel que conocía; la culpa. Le dolía la cabeza, sudaba
copiosamente, la respiración era irregular, el corazón le palpitaba
fuertemente. Al estar iniciando el clásico proceso de tortura que lo seguía
siempre después de una parranda, la bella dama abre los ojos y dulcemente le
dice; buenos días guapo. ¿Como dormiste? Ricardo inseguro le responde, me
supongo que muy bien, pues casi no me acuerdo de nada. Le revira Rosa—que era
su nombre—pues yo tampoco te pudo decir que tal dormiste, pero si lo feliz que
me hiciste toda la noche.</span></b></div>

Después de un desayuno vaquero con los McKaskel, Vallian se
despedía de la pareja de pioneros que finalmente habían localizado la parcela
de tierra que el gobierno les asignara, en su plan de asentamientos del oeste
de EU. Habían ya iniciado la construcción de su casa en lo que era un paso más
hacia la realización de su sueño, un rancho ganadero ubicado en la línea
divisoria de Texas y Nuevo Mexico. Era una región especial para la cría de
ganado, su lomerío de pastizales se extendía mas allá de lo que la vista
pudiera alcanzar. Las lomas se adornaban con bellos encinales, bellotales y, a
las orillas de los arroyos, enormes álamos y, poco más arriba, ya en las faldas
de la sierra, aparecían hermosos pinos. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dirigiendo su caballo hacia el suroeste, Vallian pensaba los
McKaskel eran una familia afortunada y no tenía duda serian exitosos en su
proyecto. Aun cuando la región en donde se asentaban estaba completamente
alejada de la civilización y, se podría decir, una región despoblada en donde
la ley era algo totalmente desconocido. Los apaches y comanches fieramente
combatían cualquier tipo de asentamientos en lo que ellos consideraban era su
tierra. Eran tribus que en los últimos 35 años del siglo 19, se embarcarían en
una mortal lucha contra los blancos, tanto americanos como mexicanos, que
cobraría miles de vidas en la salvaje región en donde se desarrollaría la vida
de Vallian. La región de Sonora, Chihuahua, Nuevo Mexico, Arizona y Texas.</div>

Some types of theft <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/thieving-and-reprehensible-government/">are legal</a> in America.<br />
But there’s a catch. You can only <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/stealing-is-legalif-you-work-for-the-government/">legally steal</a> if you work for the government. It’s a process called “civil asset forfeiture” and it enables government officials to <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/05/15/no-more-stealing-by-government-a-long-overdue-attack-on-asset-forfeiture/">confiscate your property</a> even if you have not been convicted of a crime. Or even charged with a crime.<br />
<img alt="" data-id="150404" src="https://fee.org/media/21845/asset_forfeiture_political_cartoon.gif?width=506&height=364" style="display: block; height: 364px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 506px;" /><br />
I’m not joking. This isn’t a snarky reference to the tax system. Nor
am I implying that bureaucrats can figuratively steal your property.
We’re talking about <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/06/30/an-example-of-government-theft-and-thuggery-or-an-example-of-drug-war-lunacy/">literal theft by the state</a>.<br />
And it can happen if some government official decides – without any
legal proceeding – that the property somehow may have been involved in
criminal activity. Or maybe just because you have <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/05/13/a-new-federal-crime-train-riding-while-black/">the wrong skin color</a>.<br />
<strong>What Happened to Due Process?</strong><br />
A column in the <em>Wall Street Journal</em> <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-should-be-appalled-by-police-asset-forfeiture-1488751876">explains</a> this grotesque injustice.<br />

There are many powerful arguments for junking the internal revenue code and replacing it with a <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/the-flat-tax-good-for-america-bad-for-washington/">simple and fair flat tax</a>.<br />
<ol>
<li>It is good to have <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/02/07/the-super-bowl-and-marginal-tax-rates/">lower tax rates</a> in order to encourage more productive behavior.</li>
<li>It is good to get rid of <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/04/14/tax-policy-double-taxation-tax-reform-and-the-proper-definition-of-income/">double taxation</a> in order to enable saving and investment.</li>
<li>It is good to end <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/11/30/everything-you-need-to-know-about-deductions-loopholes-and-special-interest-tax-provisions/">distorting preferences</a> in order to reduce economically irrational decisions.</li>
</ol>
Today, let’s review a feature of good tax reform that involves the second and third bullet points.<br />
<img alt="" data-id="150449" src="https://fee.org/media/21861/ff453-charts_3_0.png?width=321&height=300" style="float: right; height: 300px; width: 321px;" />Under
current law, there is double taxation of corporate income. This means
that companies must pay a tax on income, but that the income is then
taxed a second time when distributed to the owners of the company (i.e.,
shareholders).<br />
This means that the <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/how-can-obama-look-at-these-two-charts-and-conclude-that-america-should-have-higher-double-taxation-of-dividends-and-capital-gains/">effective tax rate is a combination</a>
of the corporate income tax rate and the tax rate imposed on dividends.
And this higher tax rate is an example of why double taxation
discourages capital formation and thus <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2012/04/22/if-you-want-to-understand-why-obamas-tax-agenda-is-bad-for-workers-this-picture-says-a-thousand-words/">leads to lower wages</a>.<br />
But this double taxation of dividends also creates a distortion
because there isn’t double taxation of corporate income that is
distributed to bondholders. This means companies have a significant
tax-driven incentive to rely on debt, which is risky for them and the
overall economy.<br />
Curtis Dubay has <a href="http://www.heritage.org/taxes/report/taxation-debt-and-equity-setting-the-record-straight">a very straightforward explanation</a> of the problem.<br />

For three decades, I’ve been trying to convince politicians to adopt good policy. I give them <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/whats-the-recipe-for-growth-and-prosperity/">theoretical reasons</a> why it’s a good idea to have limited government. I share with them <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/based-on-a-review-of-studies-looking-at-the-impact-of-taxes-on-growth-academic-research-gives-obama-a-record-of-0-23-3/">empirical evidence</a> demonstrating the superiority of free markets over statism. And I’m probably annoyingly relentless about disseminating <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/03/29/if-poor-nations-want-economic-convergence-and-capital-accumulation-they-need-good-policy/">examples of good and bad policy from around the world</a> (my version of “teachable moments”).<br />
But if you want to get a politician to do the right thing, you need more than theory, data, and real-world case studies. <img alt="" data-id="150455" src="https://fee.org/media/21865/second-theorem1.jpg" style="float: right; height: 199px; padding: 15px; width: 260px;" />You need to convince them – notwithstanding my <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2017/03/11/obamacare-and-the-second-theorem-of-government/">Second Theorem of Government</a> – that good policy won’t threaten their reelection.<br />
My usual approach is to remind them that <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2011/02/06/happy-100th-birthday-to-ronald-reagan/">Ronald Reagan</a>
adopted a bunch of supposedly unpopular policies, yet he got reelected
in a landslide because reducing the burden of government allowed the
private sector to grow much faster. George H.W. Bush, by contrast,
became a one-term blunder because <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/05/10/life-father-like-son-thanks-in-part-to-a-disastrous-tax-hike-deal-the-first-president-bush-was-a-statist/">his tax increase</a> and other statist policies undermined the economy’s performance.<br />

Unfortunately, no matter how much success or popularity an initiative
manages to earn at the ballot box, there are economic laws that cannot
be avoided, even when good intentions are accounted for—something some
politicians are starting to figure out.<br />

Tax Day is only a few weeks away, which means it’s that time of the
year when the country actually stands united in its hatred of
governmental theft for a few weeks, before retreating back to their
ideological corners to commence political warfare as usual.<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Loathing the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) is not an exclusive to libertarians and limited government
activists. In fact, the IRS is probably </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">the</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
most hated government agency of them all. And given the long list of
disreputable options to choose from, garnering that title is extremely
impressive.</span><br />
<span class="rte-quote" style="font-weight: 400;">For Mnuchin, making America great <span style="font-weight: 400;">again means making the IRS even bigger.</span></span><br />
Unfortunately for the prospects of tax relief, President Donald
Trump, the newly elected “man of the people” who vowed to drain the
proverbial swamp of all corruption upon taking up residence at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue, nominated a Treasury Secretary who wants to make
that swamp a little wider.<br />

White House National Trade Council Director Peter Navarro’s views
have been roundly criticized by economists and policy professionals from
across the political and ideological spectra. There seems to be an
emerging consensus that the more Navarro speaks and writes, the more he
marginalizes his influence within the administration. It is with that
cause and (positive) effect in mind that I continue pulling on this
thread.<br />
A couple of weeks ago, Navarro wrote an <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-the-white-house-worries-about-trade-deficits-1488751930" target="_blank">op-ed</a> in the <em>Wall Street Journal</em>,
offering some really unconventional perspectives about trade policy and
revealing a profoundly unique understanding of economics. I replied (<a href="https://www.cato.org/blog/peter-navarro-harvard-phd-economist-trade-warrior">in long form</a>) on the Cato blog and (<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/trade-deficit-gdp-rise-and-fall-together-1489359173" target="_blank">in shorter form</a>) with a letter to the editor of the <em>WSJ</em>.<br />
This afternoon, the <em>WSJ</em> published a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/peter-navarro-responds-to-his-trade-critics-1490208401" target="_blank">response from Navarro</a>
to me and the authors of the two other letters published in response to
Navarro’s original op-ed. And in response to Navarro’s response, Cafe
Hayek’s/Mercatus’s/GMU’s Don Boudreaux wrote this letter to the <em>WSJ</em> editor:<br />

<div class="article-body-text">
Once again, the United States government is rapidly approaching a
fiscal debt ceiling. After March 16, 2017, Uncle Sam will not be legally
allowed to borrow any more money to cover its budget deficits, unless
Congress votes to raise the debt limit, once again, like it has every
time in the past.<br />
<span class="rte-quote">The per capita burden of the national debt for those submitting and paying federal taxes is almost $123,500 per taxpayer.</span><br />
Uncle Sam’s debt has been growing at a frightening rate over the last
several decades. It took almost two hundred years, from around 1790,
when the government of the United States was established, to 1980 for
the federal government to accumulate $1 trillion of debt through deficit
spending.<br />
In the twenty-year period, 1980 to 2000, that national debt grew to
$5 trillion. Then during the eight years of George W. Bush’s Republican
Administration from 2001 to 2009, the debt doubled to around $10
trillion. And over the eight years of Barack Obama’s Democratic
Administration, the national debt doubled, once more, to just short of
$20 trillion.<br />

Military warfare is not the only kind of warfare that causes injury
to innocent bystanders. The same inescapably happens in the economic
wars waged by governments. But in economic warfare, the apparent victims
of “collateral damage” are often, in fact, targeted victims themselves.<br />
On March 29, 2017, The Wall Street Journal ran a story highlighting
the Trump Administration’s likely intention of getting tough in trade
talks about American beef sales to the European Union. Being more
concerned with the "natural” than with the United States, the European
Union long ago imposed trade restrictions on imports of American beef
that had been raised using artificial hormones.<br />

There’s a common misconception that if you’re opposed to government
services, programs and/or departments, then you’re opposed to building
roads, education, people getting affordable health care and even people
taking care of the sick and elderly. These misconceptions are becoming
more apparent as the free market offers solutions and options using
innovation and technology, as the government continues to fall in on
itself.<br />
<span class="rte-quote">Six months into the pregnancy, we received a
letter explaining that due to the changes in the law, our policy would
no longer cover maternity services.</span><br />
I continue to be amazed at the ingenuity of people and individuals
working toward solutions in the marketplace, in spite of government.
Over time government has assumed more and more control over medical
decisions that individuals make everyday.<br />

Why is Trump attacking the House Freedom Caucus? He has <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/847435163143454723"><span style="font-weight: 400;">tweeted that</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> “we must fight them.”</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My first thought: this is inevitable. Destiny is unfolding before our eyes! </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">There is the obvious fact that the
Freedom Caucus was the reason the GOP’s so-called replacement for
Obamacare went down to defeat. They fought it for a solid reason: it
would not have reduced premiums or deductibles, and it would not have
increased access to a greater degree of choice in the health-insurance
market. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span class="rte-quote"><span>At </span>minimum<span>, any reform must unfreeze the market.</span></span></span><br />
These people knew this. How? Because there was not one word
of that bill that enabled the health care industry to become more
competitive. <a href="https://fee.org/articles/why-the-freedom-caucus-is-right-to-be-skeptical-of-ryancare-it-doesnt-restore-competition/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Competition is the standard</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">
by which reform must be judged. The core problem of Obamacare (among
many) was that it froze the market in an artificial form and insulated
it from competitive forces. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">At minimum, any reform must unfreeze the market. The proposed reform did not do that. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"></span><br />

A sign of strange times: <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">1984</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">
by George Orwell has become a bestseller yet again. Here is a book
distinguished for its dark view of the state, together with a genuine
despair about what to do about it. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Strangely, this view is held today by
the Right, the Left, and even people who don’t think of themselves as
loyal to either way. The whole fiasco happening in D.C. seems insoluble,
and the inevitable is already taking place today as it did under the
presidents who preceded Trump: the realization that the new guy in town
is not going to solve the problem. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Now arrives the genuine crisis of
social democracy. True, it’s been building for decades but with the rise
of extremist parties in Europe, and the first signs of entrenched and
sometimes violent political confrontations in the United States, the
reality is ever more part of our lives. The times cry out for some new
chapter in public life, and a complete rethinking of the relationship
between the individual and the state and between society and its
governing institutions. </span><br />

Esta frase, que algunos atribuyen a
Lenin, capta muy bien los tiempos que corren. Está pasando de todo. A
diario despertamos con noticias que nos sorprenden y sacuden. Algunas
(usualmente las mejores) se originan en el mundo de la ciencia y la
tecnología y otras (con frecuencia malas) nos llegan de la economía y la
política. Las innovaciones en medicina, materiales, energía o
computación nos han deparado constantes sorpresas. Somos testigos de
cómo Google, Facebook, Twitter o Uber han transformado países,
industrias y maneras de vivir.<br />
Y, como siempre, la economía y la política también han trastocado el
mundo. ¿Pero cuáles, entre tantos, son los eventos políticos y
económicos más importantes en los últimos 16 años? Esta es mi lista, y
la resumo en seis fechas.<br />

En <strong>Estados Unidos</strong>,
los hombres blancos de mediana edad y con menos educación se están
muriendo a un ritmo inusitado. De hecho, su tasa de mortalidad es mayor
que la de los hispanos o los negros de su misma edad y de su mismo nivel
educativo. La mortalidad de los blancos menos educados es también mucho
más alta ahora de lo que había sido hasta comienzos de este siglo. <strong>Este es un fenómeno exclusivamente estadounidense. En otros países desarrollados no sucede.</strong><br />
<strong>Esta es una de las conclusiones de un estudio que acaban de
presentar en Washington el Premio Nobel de Economía Angus Deaton y Anne
Case, una destacada economista de la U. de Princeton (y esposa de
Deaton).</strong><br />

"<em>Esta podría ser una buena razón para una moratoria en materia de inmigración sobre Irán y otros países islámicos</em>". Así, lo plantea el sitio estadounidense CNS News, al difundir las declaraciones de <strong>Hassan Abbasi</strong> que circulan en Youtube. Algo similar planteó <a href="http://www.torontosun.com/2017/03/08/iranian-official-boasts-of-guerilla-movement-within-the-us">Candice Malcolm, del<strong> Toronto Sun</strong>, quien editorializa sobre la amenaza del funcionario iraní </a>perteneciente a la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica.<br />
Hassan Abbasi es un comandante del CGRI que<strong> se jacta de haber
infiltrado un gran número de guerrilleros con amplia capacidad de daño
dentro de territorio de los Estados Unidos</strong>. "<em>El Cuerpo de
la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica (CGRI) es ampliamente conocido por
combatir el terrorismo en los países vecinos y puede dar una muestra de
su gran estrategia liberando células durmientes de mártires iraníes y de
otras nacionalidades dentro de los Estados Unidos</em>", afirmó Abbasi, funcionario del gobierno de <strong>Irán</strong>.<br />

Más allá de las declaraciones del secretario de Estado, <strong>Rex Tillerson</strong>, como de la enviada de <strong>Estados Unidos </strong>ante la <strong>ONU</strong>, <strong>Nikki Haley</strong>, sobre la posición de la administración <strong>Trump</strong> ante la guerra siria y la posible continuidad en el poder del presidente<strong> Bashar al-Assad</strong>,
al final del camino Vladimir Putin no salvará al régimen del dictador
sirio Bashar al-Assad sin la aprobación israelí. Es muy claro que Israel
tiene relaciones normales, si no fuertes, con Rusia.<br />
<strong>No hay relaciones tensas entre Israel y Rusia. El </strong><strong>primer ministro israelí, Benjami</strong><strong>n Netanyahu, viaja a menudo a Moscú para coordinar las intervenciones de Rusia en las distintas crisis árabes</strong>.
Esto claramente sugiere que Moscú no actuará solo y coordinará con
Israel antes de intervenir para salvar definitivamente a Assad y su
régimen cuando el momento final se aproxime.<br />
Es evidente también que Irán tiene fuertes lazos con Rusia, aunque estas relaciones se han tensado recientemente.<br />

aparato productivo de diversas maneras, pero coinciden en un aspecto
esencial: han llegado al poder para quedarse permanentemente. La

<span class="textoarticulo_rel">Maduro rectificó. La Fiscal General del país,<strong> Luisa Ortega Díaz</strong>, le facilitó el cambio en bandeja de plata. Seguramente fue pactado. Primero, <strong>Nicolás Maduro</strong> había eliminado cualquier vestigio de democracia en <strong>Venezuela</strong>. Sus sicarios en el <strong>Tribunal Supremo de Justicia</strong> se encargaron de asumir las funciones de la <strong>Asamblea Nacional</strong>.
Era la última maniobra. Continuarían la dictadura, pero sin tapujos y
con mano aún más dura. El camino quedaba libre para acusar a los
diputados de traición a la patria. O de lo que se les ocurriera.<br />

El 23 de junio del 2016, los británicos votaron a favor de abandonar la <strong>Unión Europea</strong> (UE) ‒‘British exit’‒, lo que llevó a la renuncia del entonces primer ministro, <strong>David Cameron</strong>. Su sucesora fue <strong>Theresa May</strong>,
quien asumió el 13 de julio y aseguró que “vamos a hacer que sea un
éxito”, lo que puede ser verdad, ya que después de todo el problema es
el sistema, no la forma.</div>
<div id="p72834-m255-2-256">
<b>¿Quién tiene razón? Casi la mitad de los
británicos se oponen al ‘brexit’, mientras que el nacionalismo escocés
le dejó claro a Theresa May que quiere celebrar el nuevo referendo de
independencia antes de que, en la primavera del 2019, el Reino Unido
quede fuera de la UE.</b> En cualquier caso, muchos creen que los
ganadores del rechazo británico a la UE son los partidos de la extrema
derecha europea, como el <strong>Frente Nacional </strong>francés, que lidera <strong>Marine Le Pen</strong>.<br />

Confieso que
nunca fui muy partidario de las marchas, ni aún en las de la era k. Si
bien fui a varias o a casi todas en la era k, un gobierno corrupto y con
tendencia autoritaria no se amilana ante marchas opositoras. En todo
caso libera a sus fuerzas de choque para que agraden a los manifestantes
dándole a la policía la orden de liberar la zona y dejar que los grupos
de choque atacaran a ciudadanos pacíficos. Lo vimos en la era k. Los
corruptos y autoritarios no se asustan por ver a millones de personas
pacíficamente protestando en las calles. Vean a Maduro como hambrea y
mata a su pueblo a pesar de las multitudinarias marchas que salen a la
calle en su repudio. Maduro y los k están cortados por la misma tijera.
Corruptos y autoritarios.<br />

Trump is a unique phenomenon. We did not see any other Republicans campaigning on Trumpism. Those that attempted it <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/439554/how-trump-candidates-lost-again">went down in flames</a> in primaries. Will Trumpism last?<br />
I believe Trumpism has a future after Trump’s term in office. Even if
Trump had lost the election, I would have still written that Trumpism
would have continued.<br />
There were two key reasons why Trump was successful: nationalism and authenticity.<br />
<h2>
What Trumpism Isn’t</h2>
First, what Trumpism isn’t. Notably absent from Trumpism are social
issues. Trump did not campaign on hating homosexuals, restoring Biblical
morality, family values, drug prohibition, etc. Even his lip service
opposing abortion seemed nothing more than a forced shibboleth to give
Evangelicals something to latch onto.<br />
On the other hand, during the convention Trump stated he was proud of openly gay Republicans and has <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2016/11/11/how-big-of-a-voice-will-peter-thiel-have-in-washington/">appointed an openly gay billionaire</a>
to his transition advisory team. Social conservatives are on the wrong
side of history, and the Republican Party will be stronger if they
deemphasize those issues.<br />

Today is Inauguration Day! It marks the peaceful transition of
violent power over the lives of billions in American and abroad from one
person to another.<br />
As we celebrate or mourn or shrug off today’s inauguration of Donald
Trump, let us reflect on the election. I don’t mean the campaigning and
the candidates, but rather the act of voting.<br />
The question we must ask ourselves is <strong><em>which act is more meaningful: voting or farting.</em></strong><br />

What is the greatest threat from Trumpism? It isn’t racism, as I <a href="http://libertas.liberty.me/trumps-racist-campaign/">wrote here</a>. Nor is it his foreign policy, which I touched on as part of <a href="http://libertas.liberty.me/will-trumpism-last/">this article</a>.<br />
Clinton was better on economics, which is rare for a Democrat. Yes,
Clinton wanted to raise income taxes, but Trump also wants to raise
taxes in the form of import tariffs. This brings us to the biggest
danger of Trumpism: war due stemming from bad economic policy.<br />
Ironically, war was also the biggest danger of a Clinton presidency,
and I still maintain that she would have been the more dangerous of the
two. Clinton’s foreign policy could best be summed up as “war is peace.”
Trump lacks Clinton’s enthusiasm for bombing the Middle East and
Russia.<br />
The difference is:<br />
<ul>
<li>Clinton explicitly wanted to <em>escalate existing wars and initiate new ones</em>.</li>
<li>Trump does not seem to want war, but he advocates policies that <em>make war a more likely side effect</em>.</li>
</ul>

<div class="article-text">
Is Donald J. Trump the most evil president to
take office? Many of his opponents would have you believe so. The
hysteria against trump is beyond any president in modern history, even
surpassing the anti-Obama reaction from the fringe right. There’s even a
<a href="http://www.maplematch.com/">dating website</a> for helping Americans meet Canadians for romance so that they can flee to Canada and escape Trump’s evil dictatorship.<br />
<strong>But let’s put this into perspective.</strong><br />
Has Trump expressed support for secretly infecting blacks with
syphilis? If not then he’s less evil than countless bureaucrats working
in federal health department <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_syphilis_experiment">who did just that for forty years</a> and the presidents who created the evil system that enabled it.<br />

Genocidal maniac.</div>
</div>
Has he advocated genociding Mexicans and kicking them off their land
to make room for white Americans to colonize? If not then he is less
evil than the man celebrated on the Federal Reserve’s $20 bill, Andrew
Jackson.<br />

Try to think of a country that elected a populist president: someone
who wants to boost manufacturing jobs, insists that domestically-sold
products should be made domestically, and threatens to use tariffs to
shut off foreign competition. How would that work out?<br />
I am, of course, referring to President Cristina Kirchner of Argentina, not President Donald Trump.<br />
It’s too soon for Trump to have implemented his economic plans, but
we can see how Trumponomics will work by looking southwards to
Argentina. It is a portent of the doom that awaits us.<br />

There have been many statements recently to the effect that we should
not let “ideology” or “philosophy” stand in the way of solving our
economic problems. Indeed, the Obama administration (like the previous
Bush administration) is keen to persuade us to drop all this prejudice
and to go after each problem–banking, stimulus, and so forth–on its own
terms. We should examine each solution on its own merits.<br />
President Obama’s inaugural address includes an apparent attack on ideology:<br />
<blockquote>
What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted
beneath them–that the stale political arguments that have consumed us
for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether
our government is too big or too small, but whether it works….</blockquote>

<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/26/david-rockefeller-obituary">David Rockefeller</a>,
grandson of John D. Rockefeller, died recently at the age of 101. He
was known for many things. But perhaps the least known of his
accomplishments was his dissertation for which he was awarded a Ph.D. in
economics from the University of Chicago in 1940. This dissertation was
published by the University of Chicago Press as a book in 1941, titled<a href="https://books.google.com/books/about/Unused_Resources_and_Economic_Waste.html?id=_k0lAAAAMAAJ"><span> </span>Unused Resources and Economic Waste</a>. Although the book is hard to find, I was able to secure a copy and read it. I include <a href="https://thinkmarkets.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/rockefeller-preface.pdf">here</a> the Preface from the book.<br />
<strong>Unused or Wasted</strong><br />
<span class="rte-quote">Risk can cause resources to go unused if demand turns out to be too low or costs too high.</span><br />
The book is very heavily influenced by Frank H. Knight. This means
that there is much subtlety, self-critical reflection and, above all,
caution in the claims made. It also shows the less beneficial influence
of Abba P. Lerner insofar as Rockefeller buys the market-socialist idea
that under a form of socialism the attributes of pure competition might
be approximated. Nevertheless, this idea is of quite minor importance in
the book.<br />

A recent report by the <a href="http://www.epi.org/files/pdf/114752.pdf">Economic Policy Institute</a>
blamed trade with China for the loss of 3.4 million manufacturing jobs
since 2001. Don Boudreaux of George Mason University analyzes this claim
in detail <a href="http://cafehayek.com/2017/01/42046.html">here</a>, where he points out that innovation and automation are <a href="http://projects.cberdata.org/reports/MfgReality.pdf">more likely culprits</a>.
But whether the jobs are lost as a result of international trade or
domestic commerce, his most important point is that this is <a href="http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/CreativeDestruction.html"><em>creative</em> destruction</a>.<br />
It is to creative destruction, a process first properly recognized by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Schumpeter">Joseph Schumpeter</a>
(whose 134th birthday it is today), that we owe much of human progress
and wealth creation since the industrial revolution. Old ways of doing
things are replaced by new ways that create more wealth for everyone.
Oftentimes there is a social benefit as well, with creative destruction
forcing radical social change. Computers, for instance, creatively
destroyed the typing profession, freeing (overwhelmingly) educated women
up to do more creative jobs and compete with men as equals in the
workplace.<br />

The United States recently <a href="http://thehill.com/policy/international/319556-us-falls-in-economic-freedom-index">slipped to its lowest level yet in world rankings of economic freedom</a> compiled by the Heritage Foundation and <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>. As <em>The Hill</em> <a href="http://thehill.com/policy/international/319556-us-falls-in-economic-freedom-index">notes</a>:<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
In the latest report, the U.S. ranks 17th
out of 180 countries with an economic freedom score of 75.1 out of 100.
Last year, the U.S. ranked number 11.</div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
Hong Kong, Singapore, and New Zealand
topped the list, with respective scores of 89.8, 88.6, and 83.7. Other
countries that placed ahead of the U.S. included Canada, Taiwan, and
Britain, among others.</div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
The Heritage report said countries with
scores between 80-100 are considered economically “free,” while
countries scores between 70-79.9 are considered “mostly free.”</div>

celebrating its investments in the developing world. Following their
typical upbeat style, this year’s letter served as a thank-you note to
their friend and fellow philanthropist, Warren Buffett. Buffett, who has
donated <a href="http://www.gatesfoundation.org/Who-We-Are/General-Information/Leadership/Executive-Leadership-Team/Warren-Buffett">a substantial portion of his fortune</a>

Cheers!
It’s International Whisk(e)y Day! Not to be confused with World Whisky
Day (May 20). What should you do to celebrate? Anything you like!<br />
International Whisk(e)y Day doesn’t discriminate. It embraces those who prefer whiskey <em>and</em>
those who prefer whisky! Meet up with friends and try something new,
open that mysterious bottle you’ve been saving, introduce someone new to
your favorite spirit. Raise a glass! But International Whisk(e)y Day is
bigger than just a glass of whiskey, because we know, <a href="http://www.iwhiskeymovie.org/">“there’s more to whiskey than what’s in the glass.”</a><br />

The
Trump administration’s 60-day regulatory freeze is now over, but many

The survey uses a <a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed-time-for-an-official-end-to-federal-employee-union-subsidies/article/2531217">flimsy methodology</a>
to calculate how much time federal employees spend performing union
business instead of serving the taxpayer. In FY 2014, federal employees
spent 3,468,170 hours on official time, at a total cost of
$162,522,763.18—a $5 million dollar increase from FY 2012.
Unfortunately, union official time undoubtedly costs more than the
report suggests.<br />

In a historic moment, British Prime Minister Theresa May today invoked <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_50_of_the_Treaty_on_European_Union">Article 50</a>
of the Treaty on European Union, which formally starts the process of
Britain leaving the bloc. Her Majesty’s Government has announced plans
to fold all of existing EU law into British law as part of the process,
to be included in the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/2f2f0f14-12ce-11e7-b0c1-37e417ee6c76">Great Repeal Bill</a>, which will be published on Thursday.<br />
The Great Repeal Bill will begin what may prove the greatest
deregulatory endeavor undertaken by any modern government. Some 19,000
pieces of EU law will have to be translated into a form compatible with
Britain being outside the EU, and then Parliament and government will
have to work together to deliver the promise of freedom from bureaucracy
that was an important part of many people’s decision to vote to leave
the EU.<br />
How they will do it remains to be seen, but last year Rory Broomfield of <a href="http://www.tfa.net/">The Freedom Association</a> and I suggested that a Royal Commission on Regulatory Reduction would be appropriate in our book, “<a href="https://cei.org/content/cutting-gordian-knot">Cutting the Gordian Knot</a>.”<br />

Improvisation
can be a wonderful thing when performed by talented hands—Charlie
Parker, Miles Davis, and the like. The Federal Reserve, especially for
the past several weeks, has fancied itself an improvisational talent on
that level. But like most humans, Janet Yellen is no Charlie Parker.
They should consider a return to the Paul Volcker/early Alan Greenspan
adherence to a defined rule. But that isn’t the end of the story—any
substantive Fed reforms will fail unless they are coupled with a
thorough program of regulatory reform reaching through the entire
executive branch. This post will examine a few worthwhile Federal
Reserve reforms, then some regulatory reforms, most of which have
already passed the House.<br />

Competitive Enterprise Institute General Counsel <a href="https://cei.org/expert/sam-kazman">Sam Kazman</a> answers 7 frequently asked questions about CEI’s legal challenge to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, <em><a href="https://cei.org/litigation/challenging-dodd-frank-state-national-bank-big-spring-v-cfpb">State National Bank of Big Spring v. CFPB</a></em>.<br />
<strong>What is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)</strong>?<br />
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is a federal
regulatory agency created by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The CFPB was set up as an independent
agency that receives its funding from the Federal Reserve, not through
Congress, and it enforces 19 federal consumer protection statutes. The
CFPB’s jurisdiction includes banks, credit unions, securities firms,
payday lenders, mortgage-servicing operations, foreclosure relief
services, debt collectors, and other financial companies operating
within the United States.<br />

Last week, the cult USA channel TV show <em>Mr. Robot</em>
showed once again why it is required viewing for anyone interested in
technology. In a conversation between E Corp CEO Phillip Price and a top
government official named Jack (a thinly-veiled Jack Lew?), he talked
about his plans to get official government backing for his virtual
currency, eCoin:<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<em>Jack (James Lloyd Reynolds) : “…it’s
unconstitutional, you can’t make your own currency. That is the Federal
Government’s job! We simply cannot let you make big loans in eCoin
that you would not make in dollars.”</em></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<em>Phillip Price (Michael Cristofer):
“Jack look at me. I am not the problem here. The problem here is hard
cash is fading rapidly. That’s just the way of the world right now. And
Bitcoin is spreading. And if Bitcoin takes over, we are all in a world
of hell! It is unregulated. It has already reached its transaction
volume maximum. And, it is partly controlled by Chinese miners.”</em></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<em>Jack: “You just accepted two trillion dollars from them!”</em></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">

The
Fraser Institute’s motto is that “if it matters, measure it.” Our motto
is a constant reminder of the importance of measuring the effect of
government policy interventions on people’s lives, and it guides our
work every day.<br />
Of course, measuring complex social phenomena is
much easier said than done. We recognize that some things are extremely
difficult to measure, and that there are often disputes among
well-intentioned and knowledgeable researchers about the best way to
measure them.<br />

Since comprehensive data for <a href="https://www.fraserinstitute.org/economic-freedom/map?page=map&year=2014" target="_blank">Economic Freedom</a>
became available in 1970, Canada’s had a secure place in the world’s
top 10 jurisdictions. But could Canada be at the beginning of a long
slow decline, like the one that has afflicted the United States over the
last decade and a half?<br />
The U.S. entered the 2000s strong. In
2000, its economic freedom score was 8.65 out of 10 and it was the
world’s second freest economy after Hong Kong. This was the peak of U.S.
economic freedom. Decay set in under the George W. Bush and Obama
administrations. By 2014, the most recent year of data, the U.S. score
had fallen to 7.75 and its ranking to 16th. Over that time, it suffered a
serious decline in “Size of Government” and worse declines in “Rule of
Law and Property Rights” and “Freedom to Trade,” all essential elements
of economic freedom.<br />

It's
a “Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,” to quote the title of a 1960s movie, when
someone like Xi Jinping (pictured above), the despotic leader of a
communist country that follows a “beggar-thy-neighbour” trade policy, <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/full-text-theresa-may-brexit-speech-global-britain-eu-european-union-latest-a7531361.html" target="_blank">declares</a>
himself the champion of free trade. Things don’t get much saner when
the leader of a country, which voted itself out of the world’s deepest
and largest common market, declares herself “one of the firmest
advocates for free trade anywhere in the world.”<br />
Free trade is
essential to economic freedom—individuals should have the right to buy
from and sell to anyone anywhere. Yet, it’s under threat globally.
Left-wing and right-wing populist movements in Europe and the United
States denounce free trade while Asia’s Trans Pacific Partnership is on
the ropes. It was once called the “<a href="https://www.state.gov/secretary/20092013clinton/rm/2012/11/200565.htm" target="_blank">gold standard</a>” of trade agreements by Hillary Clinton who, under left and right populist pressure, then opposed it.<br />

Has the media gotten worse? Or am I just grouchier? <br />
Every day I see things that are wrong or that so miss the point I want to scream. <br />
Four examples: <br />
Storm Coverage<br />
As
this week's storm approached the East Coast, the media reverted to
breathless hype: "monster storm ... very dangerous." Here I blame my
beloved free market: Predicting scary weather works. Viewers tune in. <br />
What
galls me more is the reporters' government-centric thinking.
"Everything is closed," they say. "Employees can't get to work." <br />
But the corner grocery stayed open. So did many gas stations and restaurants.<br />
<br />

President Trump and Paul Ryan tried to improve Obamacare. They failed. <br />
Trump
then tweeted, "ObamaCare will explode and we will all get together and
piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE. Do not worry!" <br />
But I do worry. <br />
Trump is right when he says that Obamacare will explode. <br />
The law mandates benefits and offers subsidies to more people. Insurers must cover things like: <br />
--Birth control.<br />
--Alcohol counseling.<br />
--Depression screening.<br />
--Diet counseling.<br />
--Tobacco use screening.<br />
--Breastfeeding counseling.<br />
Some people want those things, but mandating them for everyone drives up costs. It was folly to pretend it wouldn't.<br />

Last week before his “state of the union” address to Congress,
President Trump visited with executives from the Harley-Davidson
motorcycle company who admitted they were outsourcing their technology
abroad. Harley-Davidson cycles are often subject to large tariffs when
they are produced in foreign countries, sometimes as high as 100%
because of competition with other manufacturers.<br />
Nevertheless, the stock has been doing well since the financial
crisis of 2008. After mentioning his discussion with the executives on
overseas taxes, Trump commented, “They weren’t even asking for change…
But I am.”<br />
Trump’s idea of “change” is to impose heavy duties on foreign
products coming into the United States. A smarter solution, in my
opinion, would be to threaten foreign countries with retaliatory duties
unless they reduce the costs of the tariffs they charge.<br />

In
the weeks and days preceding November 9, 2016, the day the next
president of the United States was elected, markets had been trading in a
very cautious pattern.<br />
A close election race combined with a turbulent year for both
domestic and foreign stock markets made the election a pivotal time for
several major investors who sought to profit handsomely if the election
broke a certain way. Many financial gurus and political pundits believed
the markets would rise if Hillary Clinton, the candidate representing
“more of the same” and a “continuation” of Obama’s policies, won.<br />

My picture is found on page 119 of the latest <em>Forbes</em> billionaire issue dated March 28, 2017. To find out the details, click on the link at the end of this article. Meanwhile…<br />
First, I want to make a confession: I indeed may qualify to be in the
top 1% of American income earners, but my net worth is modest by
billionaire standards. I probably could be much wealthier if I stopped
teaching and writing books, and devoted more time to business and
money-making. But my interests are much broader than purely
materialistic goals.<br />
As <strong>Ben Franklin</strong> wrote near the end of his life: “The years roll round and the last will come; when I would rather have it said, <em>He lived usefully, </em>than,<em> he died rich</em>.”<br />
My goals are to have a good relationship with my wife and family, my
friends and colleagues. I like to write about investments and attend
conferences to help people become better investors. I like to teach
college students about sound economics and influence them to make good
decisions in their lives. I believe in charitable work. And last but not
least, I want to devote time and effort to keep my country free and to
make a contribution to the freedom movement.<br />
I believe that money opens the doors to many opportunities, and gives
me the free time to accomplish my non-material goals. We have a
fascination with the 2,043 billionaires on this Earth, as recorded in
the latest issue of <em>Forbes</em>. I’ve personally met with a dozen or more billionaires, including <strong>Bill Gates</strong> (see my photo with him below), <strong>Warren Buffett</strong> and <strong>Charles Koch</strong>.<br />

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Global stock markets fell Wednesday, with
Tokyo tumbling more than 2 percent, as jitters over U.S. President
Donald Trump's ability to deliver on his reform agenda darkened
sentiment. German's DAX lost 0.7 percent and the CAC 40 in France fell
0.8 percent, while futures showed U.S. stocks were set to open lower.<br />
KEEPING
SCORE: Britain's FTSE 100 slid 0.9 percent to 7,309.15. France's CAC 40
dropped 0.8 percent to 4,964.41 and Germany's DAX fell 0.7 percent to
11,880.78. Auguring a downbeat start for Wall Street, S&P futures
fell 0.2 percent while Dow futures also lost 0.3 percent.<br />
ASIA'S
DAY: Japan's Nikkei 225 stock index fell 2.1 percent to close at
19,041.38 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index dropped 1.1 percent to
24,320.41. Australia's S&P ASX 200 lost 1.6 percent to 5,684.50.
South Korea's Kospi lost 0.5 percent to 2,168.30 and the Shanghai
Composite index fell 0.5 percent to 3,245.22.<br />

We're tied up with other projects today, but for some quick fun, we
threw together the following chart showing the trajectory of the Dow
Jones Industrial Average (<a href="https://www.google.com/finance?q=INDEXDJX%3A.DJI&ei=JFfaWPGiBI7_jAHUgqzYAw" target="_blank">DJIA</a>)
since 8 November 2016 (a.k.a. "The Age of Trump"), where we've noted
some unusual winning and losing streaks in just the past two months....<br />
<div class="separator">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7wXx4627y5s/WNpUu_3LOHI/AAAAAAAAOvc/IUbr2vgpyMAgL1AFyq4wbn5tY4rY8OK0ACLcB/s1600/longest-winning-and-losing-streaks-in-DJIA-since-2016-11-08-through-2017-03-27.png"><img alt="Longest Winning and Losing Streaks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average From 8 November 2016 Through 27 March 2017" border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7wXx4627y5s/WNpUu_3LOHI/AAAAAAAAOvc/IUbr2vgpyMAgL1AFyq4wbn5tY4rY8OK0ACLcB/s1600/longest-winning-and-losing-streaks-in-DJIA-since-2016-11-08-through-2017-03-27.png" title="Longest Winning and Losing Streaks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average From 8 November 2016 Through 27 March 2017" /></a></div>
Going back to 2 May 1885, there have been a total of 4 winning
streaks where the DJIA closed higher than its previous day's close over
12 consecutive trading days, with the fourth just having ended on 27
February 2017.<br />
By contrast, there have been 43 losing streaks where the DJIA closed
lower than it's previous day's closing value on 43 separate occasions
since 2 May 1885, where the current losing streak through yesterday, 27
March 2017 may not yet be over.<br />
Should the current losing streak extend a ninth day, it will mark
just the twelfth time in the last 132 years where the Dow has dipped for
that many days in a row.</div>

There is <em style="background-color: initial;">actually</em> a website called “<a href="http://www.liberalamerica.org/2015/02/11/28-reasons-im-done-talking-to-most-of-my-conservative-friends-and-family-members/" target="_blank">LiberalAmerica</a>”…
And they claim to have been saving America since 1776. (Kind of a neat
trick for a website. And, no: I didn’t know America needed saving from
Constitutional government either.) Tiffany Willis, the editor in chief,
came up with a wonderfully bigoted list of 28 reasons she’s too
closed-minded and intellectually dishonest to have grown-up
conversations with people who are ideologically opposed to her political
philosophy.<br />
For both your enjoyment (and because writing is more
therapeutic for me than grinding a cheese grater against my forehead) I
have provided her gleefully bigoted list below, with a few
interjections of my own:<br />
(Tiffany’s words are in italics… The rest is me. Enjoy.)<br />
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<em>Here is why I have to abandon attempts at intelligent conversation with most of you. </em></div>
Um… Because you’re incapable? (Sorry… But you kinda softballed that one in there.)<br />

Currently economists and market watchers roughly fall
into two camps: Those who believe that the Federal Reserve must begin
raising interest rates now so that it will have enough rate cutting
firepower to fight the next recession, and those who believe that
raising rates now will simply precipitate an immediate recession and
force the Fed into battle without the tools it has traditionally used to
stimulate growth. Both camps are delusional, but for different reasons.<br />

While a record audience watched the first presidential debate
between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the sad truth is that the
candidates differ very little on the issues that matter most. As
president<strong>,</strong> both Clinton and Trump are likely to drive
the country deeper into debt, expand government power, and further
curtail individual liberty and economic freedom. Though we can vote
against the candidate we feel will accelerate this trend, our votes may
do nothing to change the direction we are headed.</div>

Stunned political analysts are missing the most plausible argument
explaining Donald Trump's unexpected victory. The misreading of the
American electorate stems from the political class’ acceptance of
mistaken (and increasingly insane) economic dogma that has arisen over
the past generation. Based on their flawed understanding of
economics, the pundits could simply not understand why the electorate
had become totally disillusioned.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
According to the ideas favored by economists on Wall Street, in
government, and in the Federal Reserve, Americans should be enjoying a
marginally good economy. Unemployment is low, home values and the stock
markets are high, credit is cheap and plentiful, prices are stable, auto
sales are robust, healthcare is available to all, and GDP is growing,
albeit at levels that are below optimal. These are conditions that would
normally favor the incumbent party, and would discourage voters from
taking a chance on an unknown who has promised to tear down the entire
system. But that is precisely what happened. There can only be two
explanations: Either Trump supporters were motivated by hatred strong
enough to cause them to vote against their own economic interests, or
they understood the economic reality better than the Ph.D.'s. I believe
the people got it right.</div>

There is much we don’t know about how the Trump presidency will
play out. Will the Wall get built? Who will pay for it? Will it have at
least some fencing? Will repeal and replace happen at exactly the same
time? Will Trump throw a ceremonial switch? Will there be a Trump
National Golf Course in Sochi? It’s anyone’s guess. But of one thing we
can be fairly certain. President Trump is very likely to preside over
the largest expansion of Federal budget deficits in our history. Trump
has built his companies with debt and I’m sure he thinks he can do the
same with the country. His annual budget deficits are likely going to be
huge. This development will make a greater impact on the investment
landscape than most on Wall Street can imagine. </div>

<span class="copyright_under"><strong>Boston Federal Reserve
Bank President Eric Rosengren stressed that "it is important to avoid
creating an over-hot economy that could require a more rapid tightening
of monetary policy"</strong></span>
</div>
A US central banker said on Wednesday he favors four
increases in the key interest rate this year, one more than projected by
the majority of Federal Reserve policymakers.<br />
Boston Federal
Reserve Bank President Eric Rosengren, previously known for supporting
the Fed's ultra-accommodative policy, seems to have had a drastic change
of opinion, and now is concerned about preventing the economy from
overheating. <br />
The Fed already raised interest rates by a quarter
of a percentage point in March -- following a similar move in December
-- and policymakers on the Fed's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)
project two more increases in the benchmark federal funds rate over the
next six meetings in 2017.<br />

<span>AFP/File / Daniel LEAL-OLIVAS</span>
<span class="copyright_under"><strong>Britain voted to leave the European Union in a referendum in June 2016</strong></span>
</div>
Britain launched the historic process of leaving the EU
on Wednesday, saying there was "no turning back", but its European
partners were quick to warn of the difficult path ahead.<br />
Nine
months after the stunning vote for Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May
gave EU President Donald Tusk formal notification of Britain's intention
to withdraw from the 28-nation bloc.<br />
The unprecedented move, just
days after the EU celebrated its 60th birthday, leaves Britain deeply
divided and has thrown a question mark over the future of the alliance.<br />
</div>
"This is an historic moment from which there can be no
turning back," May told MPs, to cheers from members of her ruling
Conservative party.<br />
British ambassador Tim Barrow delivered the
letter to Tusk triggering Article 50 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty, starting
the two-year countdown to Brexit.<br />

<span class="copyright_under"><strong>Mexican President Enrique
Pena Nieto told a summit in San Jose he would keep the countries
represented informed of aspects of its talks with the US that would
affect them</strong></span>
</div>
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said Wednesday he
is working on "a new relationship" with the US and thanked Latin
American neighbors for support as Mexico faces "big challenges" with its
vital trading partner.<br />
His comments were made at a one-day summit
in Costa Rica's capital San Jose that gathered leaders from Mexico,
Central America and Colombia.<br />
US President Donald Trump, who took
office in late January, has vowed to renegotiate the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the United States, Mexico and Canada.<br />

Trump recently signed an executive order to make the executive branch
more efficient. In signing the order, he said “Today there is
duplication and redundancy everywhere. Billions and billions of dollars
are being wasted.”<br />
So far the budget has overshadowed the executive order. But the two
work together. The reorganization plan complements the budget by
enabling the administration to reduce waste without waiting for
Congress.<br />

in Congress because of its importance to stronger economic growth.
Corporate tax reform is seen as an essential component to reforming the
tax code if stronger economic growth is going to be achieved and
maintained.<br />
It has been over 30 years since the last major tax reform and the
world has changed greatly over that time. The economy has become truly
global and our economic success is directly related to our ability to
compete on an international basis. The House Ways and Means Committee
has produced a plan—A Better Way—that would make a strong contribution
to the success of U.S. companies in the global market.<br />

This year April 17 is Tax Day. Those who pay
little tax count themselves as lucky winners. Some of the biggest
losers will be married, working women, who are being discouraged from
working by high rates of tax.<br />
Higher marginal tax rates discourage married women from working.
When single women work and are considering marriage, higher rates
discourage marriage. Sometimes high tax rates result in women quitting
the workforce altogether.<br />

By Generation Opportunity<br />
More than a year ago, Uber and Lyft warned the city council of Austin
that if they passed a package of burdensome fingerprinting requirements
for ridesharing companies, Austinites might be left without options.
The sponsor of the regulation, Ann Kitchen, issued a sharp rebuke.<br />
<blockquote>
“To threaten to leave, simply because we are trying to
protect public safety, cannot be my deciding factor,” Kitchen shot back.
“There are other transportation network companies, and they will be
here.”</blockquote>

Although the <a href="https://panampost.com/karina-martin/2017/02/27/usa-border-wall-could-cause-a-severe-water-crisis-study-warns/">border wall</a>
planned by US President Donald Trump has created widespread
controversy, it is not the only one, since the barriers that divide
people around the world are a frequently used resource in order to
prevent migratory flows.<br />
There are currently approximately 70 border walls around the world,
in comparison with a dozen 25 years ago when the well-known Berlin Wall
fell, according to Elisabeth Vallet, a researcher at the University of
Quebec.<br />

Mexican government stated that it will not encourage illegal
immigration by the people it defends in the United States, but it will
defend human rights. (<a href="http://www.univision.com/noticias/inmigracion/deportados-de-la-era-trump-los-rostros-detras-de-las-cifras-fotos-fotos" target="_blank">Univisión</a>)</figcaption></figure>
According to a study by the Pew Research Center, 5.8 million Mexicans
live in the United States without legal immigration status, which means
that they constitute more than half of all undocumented immigrants.
This figure, however large it may seem, is actually a decrease, since in
2009 it was 6.4 million.<br />
For this reason, the <a href="https://panampost.com/elena-toledo/2017/02/13/job-creation-in-mexico-breaks-january-record-despite-feud-with-trump-gas-hike/">Mexican</a>
government is concerned about US President Donald Trump’s stricter
immigration policies, which expanded officials’ power to deport
undocumented immigrants as well as increasing cases that are
considered a priority. In addition to people who have committed
serious crimes, it also includes those who arrived with any criminal
record.<br />

Yesterday’s London terror attack serves as a reminder to Western
democracies about the continuing danger of radical Islam and jihadism.
This is a danger that poses a far greater threat to Europe than it does
to the US and Canada, for simple reasons of geography and demographics.
Yet, how does a government that values rule of law, civil liberties, and
diversity target the type of Islamic extremism that fuels such attacks?
How does a Western democracy stamp out radicalism, while safeguarding
the rights and liberties of Muslims in their midst?<br />

Although <a href="https://panampost.com/sabrina-martin/2017/03/22/maduro-accuses-us-embassies-in-latin-america-of-plotting-to-intervene-in-venezuela/">Venezuela</a>
has 18 refineries throughout the world and six on its own soil, today
most states face a shortage of gasoline that has led to long lines at
gas stations around the country.<br />
Venezuelans have spent hours in such lines, as they await a product
that has been in short supply for several days in different cities
across the country.<br />
The morning of this Thursday, March 23, the country dawned partially paralyzed, as thousands of <a href="https://panampost.com/karina-martin/2017/03/21/flour-shortages-hit-venezuelan-churches-as-priests-are-left-without-hosts-for-the-eucharist/">Venezuelans</a> are unable to head to school or work.<br />
“We are reinforcing our distribution in the center of the country to
stabilize the fuel supply … Queues have been generated at some service
stations in four states of the country, due to the delay in distribution
of gasoline,” said the vice president of PDVSA, Ysmel Serrano.<br />

<a class="button-translation" href="https://es.panampost.com/sabrina-martin/2017/03/23/maduro-diputados-traicion-patria/">l</a>President
Nicolás Maduro called for severe punishment of opposition officials in
the country’s congress for backing the implementation of the Democratic
Charter that the Organization of American States has discussed
implementing of late.<br />
The Democratic Charter would theoretically be imposed if Maduro does
not allow for free and open elections, and would result in Venezuela’s
removal from the organization, which would in itself have long-lasting
economic and political consequences.<br />

Batman v. Superman: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_v_Superman:_Dawn_of_Justice">The Dawn of Justice</a>
isn't a great movie, but it does have one great teaching moment.
Batman is trying to get his hands on some Kryptonite. Faithful butler
Alfred wants to know why. Batman's rationale:<br />
<blockquote>
<div class="sodatext">
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000460/?ref_=tt_trv_qu"><span class="character"></span></a><u>Batman:</u>
He [Superman] has the power to wipe out the entire human race, and if
we believe there's even a one percent chance that he is our enemy we
have to take it as an absolute certainty... and we have to destroy him.<br />
</div>
</blockquote>
<a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2009/09/utility_isnt_ev.html">No one should be a utilitarian.</a>
But from a utilitarian point of view, Batman's logic is superficially
appealing: He can sacrifice one life to save 7 billion humans with 1%
probability, for a net expectational gain of 69,999,999 lives. Until,
of course, you pause and reflect. Consider the following utilitarian
counter-arguments, in ascending order of quality.<br />

Until recently, I only knew Howard Hughes' World War I saga <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Angels_%28film%29">Hell's Angels</a> (1930) second-hand, from Martin Scorsese's Hughes biopic, <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2005/03/howard_hughes_a.html">The Aviator</a>. I was amazed when I finally watched Hughes' classic. The special effects are stunning even by modern standards. And the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Code_Hollywood">Pre-Code</a> <a href="http://www.divxmoviesenglishsubtitles.com/H/Hells_Angels_1930_CD1.html">script</a> is too good to be true. <br /><br />On
the surface, the audience is supposed to detest the selfish,
unscrupulous Monte Rutledge, the "bad brother" of protagonist Roy
Rutledge. But as in Milton's Paradise Lost, the author plainly has
great sympathy for the devil. The best scene must have shocked World
War I veterans around the world. When Monte feigns illness to avoid
combat, a fellow pilot angrily declares, "He's yellow and we all know
it." Then Monte pulls off the mask:<br />

During the dark ages, nations like China were relatively advanced while Europeans were living in squalid huts.<br />
<span class="rte-quote">Governments were forced to adopt better
policies because labor and capital had significant ability to cross
borders in search of less oppression.</span><br />
But that began to change several hundred years ago. Europe
experienced the enlightenment and industrial revolution while the
empires of Asia languished.<br />
What accounts for this dramatic shift?<br />
I’m not going to pretend there’s a single explanation, but part of
the answer is that Europe benefited from decentralization and
jurisdictional competition. More specifically, governments were forced
to adopt better policies because labor and capital had significant
ability to cross borders in search of less oppression.<br />
I’m certainly a <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2011/03/20/british-business-writer-explains-thanks-to-tax-competition-and-tax-havens-the-greed-of-the-political-class-is-being-constrained/">big fan of making governments compete with each other</a>, but even I didn’t realize how jurisdictional rivalry gave us modernity.<br />
But you don’t have to believe me. This topic was discussed by
Professor Roland Vaubel at last week’s Mont Pelerin Society meeting.
Here are some excerpts from <a href="http://www.vwl.uni-mannheim.de/vaubel/pdf-Dateien/competition.pdf">one of Professor Vaubel’s papers</a> on the topic.<br />

<div class="article-body-text">
The great intellectual and political movement known as liberalism has
been one of the prime shapers of the modern world. As Ludwig von Mises
wrote, it “changed the face of the earth,” creating for the peoples who
shared in it a life of freedom and abundance unexampled in previous
history.<br />
Given this, the paucity of general works on the history and
philosophical bases of liberalism and the mediocrity of most of the
readily accessible ones is curious indeed. (This does not hold, however,
for works of more limited scope. <em>The Decline of American Liberalism</em>,
(1955) by Arthur A. Ekirch, Jr., for example, combines fine scholarship
with a seasoned understanding of the true meaning of liberalism.)<br />
The best known book in the field is doubtless the<em> History of European Liberalism</em>,
by Guido de Ruggiero, originally published in 1925. Still useful in
some respects, it suffers from a conceptual haziness and a lack of
cutting edge perhaps attributable to the neo-idealist philosophy popular
in Italy at the time, of which the author was a follower.<br />

<em>This essay originally appeared as "The Theory of Economic
Development and the European Miracle" in The Collapse of Development
Planning, edited by Peter J. Boettke.</em></div>
Among writers on economic development, P.T. Bauer is noted both for
the depth of his historical knowledge, and for his insistence on the
indispensability of historical studies in understanding the phenomenon
of growth (Walters 1989, 60; see also Dorn 1987). In canvassing the work
of other theorists, Bauer has complained of their manifest "amputation
of the time dimension":<br />
<blockquote>
The historical background is essential for a worthwhile discussion of
economic development, which is an integral part of the historical
progress of society. But many of the most widely publicized writings on
development effectively disregard both the historical background and the
nature of development as a process. (Bauer 1972, 324–25)<br />
</blockquote>
Too many writers in the field have succumbed to professional
overspecialization combined with a positivist obsession with data that
happen to be amenable to mathematical techniques. The result has been
models of development with little connection to reality:<br />

The First World War was the watershed of the twentieth century.
Itself the product of antiliberal ideas and policies, such as militarism
and protectionism, the Great War fostered statism in every form. In
Europe and America, the trend towards state intervention accelerated, as
governments conscripted, censored, inflated, ran up mountains of debts,
co-opted business and labor, and seized control of the economy.
Everywhere “progressive” intellectuals saw their dreams coming true.
Thee old laissez-faire liberalism was dead, they gloated, and the future
belonged to collectivism. The only question seemed to be: which kind of
collectivism?<br />

As the nineteenth century began, classical liberalism — or just
liberalism as the philosophy of freedom was then known — was the specter
haunting Europe — and the world. In every advanced country the liberal
movement was active.<br />
<span class="rte-quote">Tens of millions who would have perished in the inefficient economy of the old order were able to survive.</span><br />
Drawn mainly from the middle classes, it included people from widely
contrasting religious and philosophical backgrounds. Christians, Jews,
deists, agnostics, utilitarians, believers in natural rights,
freethinkers, and traditionalists all found it possible to work towards
one fundamental goal: expanding the area of the free functioning of
society and diminishing the area of coercion and the state.<br />

</section>
<div class="article-body-text">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Three years ago, the </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">New York Times</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">
asked whether “the libertarian moment” had finally arrived. Since then,
we have seen no libertarian revolution in politics or policy, leading
many to ask whether the libertarian moment had indeed come… and gone.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Perhaps, the thinking goes, the libertarians had their political </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">American Idol</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> audition, delivered a pitchy performance, and were sent home: end of story.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">In a sense, to even frame things in
this way is silly. It would only make sense if libertarians were a
curious sect with quirky ideas that somehow gained outsize national
attention, giving us a one-time chance to seize the reins of power: like
how the South Korean presidency was won by a member of the Church of
Eternal Life cult. Since that president was recently forced from office,
surely the Church of Eternal Life’s “moment” has come and gone.</span><br />
<strong>A Branding Problem</strong><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Poor branding is partly to blame:
specifically, the use of the label “libertarian” instead of the
philosophy's original name, “liberalism.” In defense of </span><a href="https://fee.org/articles/where-does-the-term-libertarian-come-from-anyway/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">those who made that name change</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,
they didn’t have much of a choice. By the time “libertarianism” was
adopted, “liberalism” had already been long lost: hopelessly hitched to a
decidedly illiberal ideology.</span><br />
<span class="rte-quote" style="font-weight: 400;">Liberalism is actually a centuries-old tradition with millennia-old roots.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But the new label has created the
false impression that the liberty tradition is much younger and more
idiosyncratic than it really is: as if it’s a new-fangled left/right
hybrid cooked up in the 1970s. Yet the truth is quite the opposite. As I
will discuss below, what we now call “liberalism” and what we now call
“conservatism” are both themselves hybrid descendants of what we now
call “libertarianism.”</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Abandoning “liberalism” has detached
the philosophy from its long and glorious history and heritage.
Liberalism/libertarianism is actually a centuries-old tradition with
millennia-old roots. It is the founding philosophy of America, the
catalyst of the rise of the West, and the source of almost all things
sweet and splendid about the modern world around us.</span><br />

A new CNN poll <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/06/politics/trump-approval-rating-russia-poll/">finds that around two-thirds of Americans</a> want
a special prosecutor to investigate contacts between Russians and the
Donald Trump campaign, and 55 percent are “somewhat concerned” by
reports that the president’s associates had contact with “suspected
Russian operatives.”<br />
<i>Well, if you put it that way,</i> what
kind of seditious scoundrel wouldn’t be troubled by the president’s
comrades huddling with “suspected Russian operatives”? What if CNN asked
voters this, though: Are you concerned that an attorney general nominee
met with the Russian ambassador in course of his duties as a U.S.
senator and member of the Armed Services Committee? I suspect the
numbers would look a bit different.<br />

Intelligence
reports show then-President Elect Donald Trump and his transition team
may have been monitored by agencies in the weeks after the election via
“incidental collection,” a top Republican revealed in a press conference
Wednesday afternoon.<br />
“I have seen intelligence reports that
clearly show that the President-elect and his team were, I guess, at
least monitored,” House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes
(R-California), said.<br />
Nunes
explained “incidental collection” of information regarding the
President-elect and his team occurred primarily in November through
January according to reports.<br />

Jill Filipovic’s <a href="http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a9162680/neil-gorsuch-constitutional-originalism-supreme-court/?src=socialflowTW">latest essay at <em>Cosmopolitan</em></a> is
like the Lernaean Hydra: it is almost impossible to know where or how
to strike it, given its multi-headed absurdities. Every so often—really,
quite often—there comes along a piece of political literature that is
almost impossible to wrangle. Conceptually, factually, logically,
aesthetically—everything about it is a total mess. This is what
Filipovic has written and a number of <em>Cosmo</em> editors inexplicably, indefensibly green-lit.<br />
“9
Reasons Constitutional Originalism is Bullsh*t,” Filipovic’s headline
reads. We must be conscious of the possibility that Filipovic is not
familiar with originalism and indeed had not even heard of the concept
until someone told her about it sometime during the past six weeks or
so. There is plenty of evidence throughout her essay to suggest as much,
but I just want to focus on one example.<br />

Now
that we have had time to observe the Donald Trump phenomenon, there is
enough evidence to make a clear assessment of what it represents. The
rise of Trump is an epic expression of frustration with the American
political system, and it is a natural outgrowth of frustrations with
America’s changing demographics; the hollowing out of white working
class values and culture, as Charles Murray has documented extensively;
and what life is like when governed by the administrative state, where
the president increasingly acts as a unilateral executive and elected
representatives consistently ignore the people’s priorities.<br />
At
its best, these frustrations would be articulated by the Republican
Party in ways that lead to more freedom and less government. At its
worst, these frustrations cast aside Constitutional principles,
encourage dictatorial behavior, and become the toxic political
equivalent of <a href="http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/blog/2015/08/20/donald-trump-dorchester-beating/">the two Southie brothers who claimed Trump inspired them to beat up a Hispanic homeless man.</a><br />

President-elect
Donald Trump ran on an immigration enforcement platform, and when
crafting policies his administration can take some lessons from
California and Texas’s experience. Their experience suggests smart ways
to enforce immigration laws without causing a political backlash or
economic problems. As a Republican, President Trump should be inspired
by how Texas conservatives have handled immigration instead of looking
to California’s Republican Party.<br />
California and Texas are similar
in many ways. Hispanics are about 39 percent of the population of both
states, both share a border with Mexico, and both have a long history of
Mexicans living there (although Texas’ history is longer and richer).
Crucially, large numbers of voters in both states have worried about
illegal immigration and border control for decades. However, the
political outcomes in both states are radically different because their
state Republican parties dealt with illegal immigration and border
security in very different ways.<br />

So
let me get this straight: America is thrown into an overwrought
political debate about the Confederate battle flag—a relic that has
absolutely nothing to do with the shooting in Charleston—but is
unwilling to engage in a conversation about the deliberate disregard of
federal law that directly leads to the murder of at least one young
woman?<br />
That’s basically where we stand. After sending mixed signals, <em>The Hill</em> <a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/house/247314-dems-sanctuary-laws-not-to-blame-in-san-francisco-killing">reports</a>
that Democrats will be making a concerted effort to defend San
Francisco’s sanctuary laws and killing of Kathryn Steinle along the
city’s famous waterfront. Most Republicans will avoid the matter
altogether for the sake of political expediency. Soon enough, I imagine,
it’ll be xenophobic to bring it up at all. One of these conversations,
after all, is risk-free, jammed with self-satisfying preening about the
right sort of evils. The other, morally complex—especially for the
supporters of immigration reform (like myself)—and fraught with
electoral consequences.<br />

My 13-year-old <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2015/09/why_im_homescho.html">homeschooled</a> sons just finished my <a href="http://econfaculty.gmu.edu/bcaplan/e321.html">labor economics</a> class.
I hope they take many more economics classes, but I’ll be perfectly
satisfied with their grasp of economics as long as they internalize what
they learned this semester.<br />
Why? Because a <em>good </em>labor economics class contains
everything you need to see through the central tenets of our society’s
secular religion. Labor economics stands against the world. Once you
grasp its lessons, you can never again be a normal citizen.<br />
What are these “central tenets of our secular religion,” and what’s wrong with them?<br />
<strong>Tenet #1: The main reason today’s workers have a decent
standard of living is that government passed a bunch of laws protecting
them.</strong><br />

<em>“There never was a good war or a bad peace.”</em><br />
—Benjamin Franklin in a letter to Josiah Quincy, September 11, 1773<br />
At 7:55 A.M. Hawaii time on December 7, 1941, the first Japanese
bombs fell on the U.S. Fleet at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. At the time, the
United States was officially neutral. Japan was attacking a peaceful
country without warning. People in the United States were outraged.
Their immediate response was anger; they were more than eager to avenge
the attack and go to war against Japan. As Japan was allied by treaty
with Germany, Germany soon declared war against the United States.<br />
Within a few days, the United States found herself allied with Great
Britain and the U.S.S.R., which had been attacked by Germany on June 22,
1941, and at war with both Japan and Germany. (France had been defeated
earlier by Germany and was out of the war.) What had been a European
war became almost overnight a world war. The United States would soon be
fighting Germany in the Atlantic, Europe, and Africa, and Japan in the
Pacific and southeast Asia.<br />
<span class="rte-quote">Why did Hitler march into Poland if he knew
England and France might declare war on him? Why did he attack the
U.S.S.R despite knowing its vastness and harsh winters?</span><br />

Humans are getting more and more peaceful. Violent deaths from all
causes (murder, war, etc.) have declined massively throughout human
history.<br />
But to what do we owe this increasing peace? Enlightenment philosophy? Commerce? Or the rise of governance by states?<br />
Harvard social psychologist Steven Pinker’s book <em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Better-Angels-Our-Nature-Violence/dp/0143122010">The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined</a> </em>provides
a magisterial, comprehensive, and generally persuasive explanation of
the peacefulness phenomena, yet the book contains a big omission.<br />
<span class="rte-quote">While the state may reduce the rate of
private violence, that leaves the question of whether it increases or
reduces the rate of death from civil and external wars.</span><br />
Pinker claims — but fails to prove — that early states significantly increased human welfare by reducing the rate of war death.<br />

Recently I read a very peculiar news item reporting that the Spanish government has appointed what the media are calling a “<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/spain-sex-tsar-population-crisis-baby-parents-demographic-government-a7599091.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sex Tsar</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.” It is officially a “commissioner for the demographic challenge,” whose job is to </span><a href="https://qz.com/919872/spain-appointed-commissioner-edelmira-barreira-diz-to-convince-citizens-to-have-more-babies/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">persuade the people of Spain</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to have more sex, and, by extension, more children.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span class="rte-quote">Are Europe's governments just being cute? Or do they have another reason?</span></span><br />
The Spanish are not alone. In 2016, the Italian government ran a “<a href="https://qz.com/771126/fertilityday-italys-fertility-day-campaign-to-get-women-to-make-more-babies-backfires/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fertility Day</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” campaign to get people to have more babies. The Swedish government has </span><a href="http://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/life-style/less-sex-becoming-a-political-problem-for-sweden-2949642/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">initiated a study</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> into the sex lives of its citizens, to find ways to increase the amount of sex Swedes have.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">If that was all there was to the
story, we could chalk it up to politicians being their usual ridiculous
selves and have a good laugh about it. But this nonsense has serious
economic causes and potentially far-reaching consequences.</span><br />

“What about the poor?”<span> </span><br />
<span>An interviewer just asked me the question following my usual
call for markets in everything. It’s probably the 100th time this has
happened. The question amazes me because the implication behind it
implies that markets serve primarily the rich.<span> </span></span><br />
It’s hard to imagine a more profound confusion. The default state of
the world is grueling poverty, universal insecurity, and short lives.
When governments do come along, they nearly always serve themselves
first.<span> </span><br />

Donald Trump added a portrait of Andrew Jackson to the White House Oval Office shortly after his inauguration. Why Jackson?<br />
Well, Jackson’s defeat of incumbent John Quincy Adams in the 1828
election was the first great US political upset in which an
anti-establishment candidate defeated an insider. This comparison no
doubt pleases the man who kept Hillary Clinton from the White House.<br />
Like Trump, Jackson also styled himself as a champion of the “common
man,” and that’s a distinction that somehow follows him to this day. But
does Jackson deserve to be remembered so fondly as the one who put
power in the hands of the people? Let’s break down some of his greatest
hits.<br />

The <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Washington Post </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">recently </span><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/03/04/trump-accuses-obama-of-nixonwatergate-plot-to-wire-tap-trump-tower/?utm_term=.bd81bbeac595&wpisrc=nl_most-draw14&wpmm=1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">criticized</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">
President Trump’s Tweetstorm about being wiretapped, mocking his claims
as baseless. They argue that he’s sowing dissent and making up facts to
distract the media from important issues. The </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Post</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> neglected to mention that the </span><a href="https://rare.us/rare-politics/trump/theres-more-evidence-team-trump-was-wiretapped-than-that-trump-colluded-with-russia/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">FBI and other agencies</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> have been surveilling Trump’s advisors, or that in October the FBI obtained a </span><a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38589427"><span style="font-weight: 400;">warrant</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to wiretap Trump’s “associates.”</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span class="rte-quote">The media is commiting the same heresies against truth that Trump is.</span></span><br />
While the wiretaps were directed at those in Trump’s orbit rather than Trump himself, his accusations have more merit than the <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Post</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> admits.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">This is becoming a trend: the media
is eroding its credibility both by publishing factually incorrect
stories about Trump and by accusing him of lying even when he’s telling
the truth. In short, they’re committing the same heresies against truth
that Trump is.</span><br />

Nothing is really changing politically in Berlin. To begin with,
Germany's socialists are currently in a coalition with the
conservatives, forming an immense majority in parliament. The coalition
has slowed down public spending cuts and reforms enacted by the previous
government. The German Left is at risk of fading into irrelevance as
its choices regarding coalitions are limited: it's either Merkel once
again or going down the road of a three-party coalition.<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span class="rte-quote">Berlin should be concerned with how a freer economy can unleash the potential of hard-working Germans.</span></span><br />

I was initially excited to see that progressive <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Baker" target="_blank">Dean Baker</a> has written a piece on “<a href="http://www.aei.org/publication/eight-market-oriented-proposals-that-reduce-income-inequality/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=012517" target="_blank">Eight Market-Oriented Proposals That Reduce Income Inequality</a>”
for AEI. It begins promisingly by criticizing overly strict
occupational licensing for high-skilled workers. But it then studiously
avoids the really big wins. Namely:<br />
1. Immigration. High-skilled immigration reduces conventionally
measured inequality by making high-skilled workers more abundant
relative to low-skilled workers. And low-skilled immigration
drastically reduces <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2014/05/hollowing_out_a.html" target="_blank"><i>properly </i>measured inequality</a> by moving the absolutely poor to First World prosperity. Estimates of the size of this effect are <a href="http://econfaculty.gmu.edu/bcaplan/caplannaik.pdf" target="_blank">vast</a>.<br />

goodness of greed seems like common sense. But it’s not. In a randomly
selected social environment, greed is brutal. If you’re carrying a bag
of gold and meet a well-armed stranger in a remote jungle, you wouldn’t
say, “As long as he’s greedy, I have nothing to worry about.” The
knowledge that Nigerian spammers are greedy doesn’t incline you to send
them your money. If you were looking for a caretaker for your elderly
mother, discovering that a job candidate is “extremely greedy” would be a
strong mark against him. As Marge Gunderson sadly muses at the end of <a href="https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Fargo_%28film%29" target="_blank"><i>Fargo</i></a>,
“So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that
was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in
Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money. There’s more to life
than a little money, you know. Don’t you know that?”<br />

According to the International Monetary Fund, global debt has grown to a staggering grand total of <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/06/global-debt-balloons-to-all-time-high-of-152-trillion-imf-warns.html" target="_blank" title="152 trillion dollars">152 trillion dollars</a>. Other estimates put that figure closer to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-22/the-world-s-debt-is-alarmingly-high-but-is-it-contagious" target="_blank" title="200 trillion dollars">200 trillion dollars</a>,
but for the purposes of this article let’s use the more conservative
number. If you take 152 trillion dollars and divide it by the seven
billion people living on the planet, you get $21,714, which would be the
share of that debt for every man, woman and child in the world if it
was divided up equally.<br />
So if you have a family of four, your family’s share of the global debt load would be $86,856.<br />
Very few families could write a check for that amount today, and we
also must remember that we live in some of the wealthiest areas on the
globe. Considering the fact that <a href="https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=how+much+of+the+world+lives+on+two+dollars+a+day&*" target="_blank" title="more than 3 billion people">more than 3 billion people</a>
around the world live on two dollars a day or less, the truth is that
about half the planet would not be capable of contributing toward the
repayment of our 152 trillion dollar debt at all. So they should
probably be excluded from these calculations entirely, and that would
mean that your family’s share of the debt would ultimately be far, far
higher.<br />

Americans do not understand this, but the truth is that the Federal
Reserve has far more power over the U.S. economy than anyone else does,
and that includes Donald Trump. Politicians tend to get the credit or
the blame for how the economy is performing, but in reality it is an
unelected, unaccountable panel of central bankers that is running the
show, and until something is done about the Fed our long-term economic
problems will never be fixed. For an extended analysis of this point, <a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/why-donald-trump-must-shut-down-the-federal-reserve-and-start-issuing-debt-free-money" title="please see this article">please see this article</a>.
In this piece, I am going to explain why the Federal Reserve is
currently setting the stage for a recession, a new housing crisis and a
stock market crash, and if those things happen unfortunately it will be
Donald Trump that will primarily get the blame.<br />
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve is expected to hike interest rates, and there is even the possibility that they will call <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/03/13/fed-rate-hike-highlights-economic-news-week/99009892/" target="_blank" title="for an acceleration of future rate hikes">for an acceleration of future rate hikes</a>…<br />

the Federal Reserve gone completely insane? On Wednesday, the Fed
raised interest rates for the second time in three months, and it
signaled that more rate hikes are coming in the months ahead. When the
Federal Reserve lowers interest rates, it becomes less expensive to
borrow money and that tends to stimulate more economic activity. But
when the Federal Reserve raises rates , that makes it more expensive to
borrow money and that tends to slow down economic activity. So why in
the world is the Fed raising rates when the U.S. economy is already
showing signs of slowing down dramatically? The following are 12
reasons why the Federal Reserve may have just made the biggest economic
mistake since the last financial crisis…<br />

Wednesday, the temporary suspension of the debt ceiling ended, and so
now the federal government is not going to be able to go into any more
debt until the debt ceiling is raised. For the moment, the Trump
administration can implement “emergency measures” to stay under the debt
limit, but it won’t be too long before we get to a major crisis point
because the federal government is quickly running out of cash. Already,
the U.S. Treasury has less cash on hand <a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-13/us-government-now-has-less-cash-google" target="_blank" title="than Apple or Google">than Apple or Google</a>, and that cash balance is going to keep on dropping until the debt ceiling is finally lifted.<br />
You may remember that the debt ceiling became a major issue a couple
of times during the Obama years. Last time around, Barack Obama and the
Republicans in Congress agreed to a horrendous deal which suspended the
debt ceiling <a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/feds-hit-debt-limit-again-debt-now-exceeds-legal-limit-set-2008" target="_blank" title="until several months after the 2016 election">until several months after the 2016 election</a>…<br />

United States and China are the two largest economies in the world by
far, and the upcoming trade war that is about to erupt will be
cataclysmic for both sides. The Trump administration and the Chinese
government are both gearing up for a prolonged trade war, and this is
going to have very severe implications for the entire global economy.
During the campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly stated that we “can’t
continue to allow China to rape our country”, and he was quite correct
about that. Over the past ten years, the U.S. has run a trade deficit
of <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2017/03/u-s-would-easily-win-any-trade-war/" target="_blank" title="over $2 trillion">over $2 trillion</a>
with China, and as a result of imbalanced trade we have lost tens of
thousands of manufacturing businesses, millions of good paying jobs, and
hundreds of billions of dollars of tax revenue.<br />
So clearly something needs to be done to balance our trade with China
and other countries. But the situation must also be handled
delicately, because trade disruptions could bring substantial short-term
economic pain.<br />

During the run-up to the election, the deep state bureaucrats at the
Treasury built up what I described Friday as Hillary’s debt ceiling “war
chest,” sending the cash balance to<i> $425 billion </i>shortly before election day.<br />
By
contrast, shortly after the election the Treasury stopped selling new
debt, and began to actually pay down maturing bills and notes. The
Treasury has burned over <i>$338 billion </i>of cash since then. That depleted Hillary’s war chest since she wouldn’t be around to benefit from it.<br />
Or rather, it pumped a veritable tsunami of cash into the canyons of Wall Street.<br />
In
a word, the Treasury took its boot off the neck of the bond dealers,
thereby enabling the 15% frolic higher in the stock market that has
become known as the Trump Reflation Trade.<br />
And that gets me to the countdown to crisis beginning March 15…<br />

During the last 129 months, the Fed has held 86 meetings. On 83 of those occasions it either cut rates or left them unchanged.<br />
So
you can perhaps understand why Wednesday’s completely expected (for the
last three weeks!) 25 bips left the day traders nonplussed. The Dow
rallied over 100 points that day.<br />
Traders understandably believe
that this monetary farce can continue indefinitely, and that our
Keynesian school marm’s post-meeting presser was evidence that the Fed
is still their friend.<br />
No it isn’t!<br />
<i>Janet Yellen’s sing-song gibberish was the equivalent of a monetary DEFCON </i>1, alerting all except the most addicted Kool-Aid drinkers to get out of the casino.<br />
Our monetary politburo has expanded its balance sheet by a lunatic <i>22X</i>
during the last three decades and in the process has systematically
falsified financial asset prices and birthed a mutant debt-fueled of
simulacrum of prosperity.<br />

As you read this, a ragged alliance of rival forces fights to wrest
Mosul’s western half from the grip of the Islamic State. The besiegers
represent different ethnic and religious factions jockeying for power in
the ruins. The defenders are religious fanatics of an apocalyptic
faith. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are captive in their midst.<br />
We of the human race have been here before and will come here again.
Cities, the emblem and apogee of all civilizations, have been war’s
great prizes since the days of myth. Sieges—nowadays the least-studied
form of military operations—have stained history with vast amounts of
blood, from Carthage to Constantinople. And they’re back.<br />

In
today’s political climate, there are sharp divisions of opinion over a
range of issues, from health care and climate change to education and
labor law. Ideally, a civil debate undertaken with mutual respect could
ease tension and advance knowledge. Politics, however, often takes a
very different turn.<br />
One of the landmark decisions of the United States Supreme Court, <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/376/254"><em>New York Times v. Sullivan</em></a>,
was decided in 1964 at the height of civil rights movement. Writing for
the majority, Justice William Brennan insisted that the First
Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech rested on “a profound
national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should
be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include
vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on
government and public officials.” He then concluded that the First
Amendment offered extensive protection to the media from defamation
suits brought by private individuals—a principle that was later extended
to apply to public figures as well. Defamation suits in his view could
chill public debate.<br />

To paraphrase the Beatles: Well, you know, you’d better free your
mind instead; you may want a revolution but ought to settle for some
evolution.<br />
It is an article of revealed religion among defense elites that “we
live in a relentlessly changing and fiercely competitive world.” Those
words were from former Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, once a physicist
and someone deeply imbued with the idea that technological change and
competition were the elements propelling change, and that those who
failed to “innovate” were doomed to defeat: “Today’s era of military
competition is characterized by the additional variables of speed and
agility, such that leading the race now frequently depends on who can
out-innovate faster than everyone else, and even change the game.”<br />

Though it may seem strange, Karl Marx was not always a communist.
As late as 1842, when Marx was in his mid-20s, he actually said he
opposed any attempt to establish a communist system. In October 1842, he
became editor of the <i>Rheinische Zeitung </i>[the <i>Rhineland Times</i>], and wrote in an editorial:<br />
<blockquote>
The <i>Rheinische Zeitung </i>. . . does not admit that communist ideas in their present form possess even <i>theoretical reality</i>, and therefore can still less desire their <i>practical realization</i>, or even consider it possible.</blockquote>
In 1843, Marx was forced to resign his editorship because of
political pressure from the Prussian government, and ended up moving
to Paris. It was in Paris that he met his future lifelong
collaborator, Friedrich Engels (who already was a socialist), and began
his deeper study of socialism and communism, leading to his full
“conversion” to the collectivist ideal.<br />

<section class="entry-content">
Few American presidential elections have drawn as much
international interest and concern as the one in 2016. Certainly, who is
elected and sits in the White House in Washington, D. C. matters to
many people everywhere since America remains a political, economic and
military colossus influencing major and minor events around the globe.<br />
Yet, the anxiousness about the possibility and then the reality of
the election of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States
is unique, at least in my lifetime. His blusterous language, his
crudeness of verbal expression, his seeming refusal to play by the
standard etiquette and rules of the political game during the Republican
primaries and then through the presidential campaign leading up to
election day in November of last year threw many people off balance, in
America and elsewhere, wondering what to expect if Trump were to win.<br />

Julian
Assange's statement that Hillary Clinton is secretly plotting "a Mike
Pence takeover" in the Oval Office together with US intelligence
officials has stirred a heated debate. Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel
shared his views on the possibility of a House of Cards scenario being
implemented in his interview with Sputnik.</h2>
WikiLeaks'
editor-in-chief Julian Assange announced Tuesday that Hillary Clinton
is harboring a secret plan to replace US President Donald Trump
with Vice President Mike Pence.<br />
<div class="ria-tweet">

<div class="ria-tweet">
</div>
Assange specified that Clinton and her confidants within the US
intelligence community spoke about nothing less than a Presidential
impeachment.<br />
<div class="ria-tweet">

The assumption has immediately sparked a heated debate among observers and prompted sharp criticism from Vice President Pence.<br />

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On Tuesday, a group of US Senators led by Mike Lee <a href="https://sputniknews.com/us/201703161051628844-state-dept-letter-us-meddling/">called on</a>
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to investigate US funding political
factions within other sovereign nations including through a George
Soros-backed organization funded by USAID. Funds distributed
through USAID programs in Albania and Macedonia were used to influence
party politics, media, and civil society, the lawmakers claimed in a
letter.
<div class="marker-quote1">
"The US government often intervenes to assist
pro-US candidates in winning elections, but the victors are often not
as pliable as the US government expects," political commentator and
author James Bovard said on Wednesday.</div>
Bovard said this type of activity was widespread and had been for many years.<br />
<div class="marker-quote1">
"There is so much ‘pro-democracy’ flying
around at this point — and the US government has done a very poor job
of auditing its own efforts. The US government has been heavily
intervening in foreign elections for decades," he said.</div>
Bovard said there was a widespread assumption among US politicians
and policymakers that such interventions were always justified morally
as well pragmatically.<br />
<div class="marker-quote1">
"This is justified because ‘God wants democracy
to win.’ The US government is simply doing God's work — or doing what
God would do if he knew as much as US government agencies," he stated.</div>
Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) senior editor Jeff Steinberg said
that the most blatant recent example of such activities was the
toppling of the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014.<br />
<div class="marker-quote1">
"Ukraine is the poster child for these ‘color
revolution’ operations funded by both the US taxpayers and tax exempt
groups like Soros' OSF," Steinberg said.</div>

Steinberg
recalled that Victoria Nuland, former president Barack Obama’s
assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs had
openly boasted of the active role that the US government had played
in destabilizing and then toppling the government of President Viktor
Yanukovych in Kiev.
"Nuland bragged that the US government spent $5 billion building the
‘democracy’ movement in Ukraine, which in that case also involved
hardcore neo-Nazis, who shot up the Maidan and overthrew Yanukovych," he
said.<br />
Steinberg pointed out that seeking to topple any legitimate government was contrary to international law.<br />
<div class="marker-quote1">
"It is criminal to engage in such violent
regime change but Soros and the National Endowment for Democracy get
away with it constantly," he concluded.</div>
Earlier on Wednesday, a State Department official told Sputnik the
department received the letter from the Senators to Tillerson, but it
was standard practice not to release the contents of congressional
correspondence</div>

Adam Smith’s book <i>The Theory of Moral Sentiments </i>offers a
path through a dangerous social quagmire. Namely, the law increasingly
demands that peaceful acts conform to a specific state-approved
morality. The process turns morality into a matter of state and law
rather than one of individual conscience.<br />
The politically correct justify mandatory morality in the name of
social justice or a paternalism by which the elite know what is better
for people than the people do themselves. For example, in signing the
recent minimum-wage law in California, Gov. Jerry Brown stated,
“Economically, minimum wages may not make sense” but “[morally] and
socially and politically, they make every sense.” By this, Brown meant
the law made moral sense to him and to his ideological associates, who
were willing to impose it upon anyone who disagreed.<br />

In August of 1993 I was in invited to participate in a conference
in Vilnius, Lithuania on “Liberty and Private Business.” This was less
than two years after the formal disappearance of the Soviet Union as a
political entity on the map of the world.<br />
During our time there my wife and I were offered the opportunity to
be given a tour of the building that had served as the headquarters of
the local KGB, the infamous Soviet secret police. Our guide was a man
who had been a prisoner in its walls in the late 1950s. The most
nightmarishly part of the tour was the basement containing the prison
cells and the interrogation rooms.<br />
<b>Going Through Hell at the Hands of the KGB</b><br />
As we reached the bottom of the staircase our guide pointed to a
small closet-like space and said, “Here was the first stop on the
victim’s journey to hell.” The prisoner would be stripped of all
clothes, naked, and placed in this windowless, pitch-black closet for
several hours. This was the start of the psychology of torture. Left
naked in absolute darkness for hours, the victim could only have the
most frightening imaginings about why he or she had been arrested, what
might be done to them, and whether they would ever see their family and
friends again.<br />

<blockquote>
Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away.
They’re privileges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country, is a bill
of temporary privileges. And if you read the news even badly, you know
that every year the list gets shorter and shorter. Sooner or later, the
people in this country are gonna realize the government … doesn’t care
about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your
safety… It’s interested in its own power. That’s the only thing. Keeping
it and expanding it wherever possible. — George Carlin</blockquote>
My friends, we’re being played for fools.<br />
On paper, we may be technically free.<br />
In reality, however, we are only as free as a government official may allow.<br />
We only <em>think</em> we live in a constitutional republic, governed by just laws created for our benefit.<br />
Truth be told, we live in a dictatorship disguised as a democracy
where all that we own, all that we earn, all that we say and do—our very
lives—depends on the benevolence of government agents and corporate
shareholders for whom profit and power will always trump principle. And
now the government is litigating and legislating its way into a new
framework where the dictates of petty bureaucrats carry greater weight
than the inalienable rights of the citizenry.<br />

Since the beginning of the so-called Progressive Era, advocates of
big government have been on the offensive. They promised Americans more
prosperity, better education, increased security, a cleaner environment,
a society that’s more fair, and so on — provided they would allow
government officials to wield much more power.<br />
A great many fell for it. After all, wasn’t it desirable to move
toward an improved country at what seemed to be little or no cost?
Certainly our leaders would do only things that were in “the public
interest.”<br />

<section class="entry-content">
Once again the United States government is rapidly approaching a
fiscal debt ceiling: After March 16, 2017, Uncle Sam will not be legally
allowed to borrow any more money to cover its budget deficits, unless
Congress votes to raise the debt limit, once again, like it has every
time in the past.<br />
Uncle’s Sam’s debt has been growing at a frightening rate over the
last several decades. It took almost two hundred years, from around
1790, when the government of the United States was established, to 1980
for the federal government to accumulate $1 trillion of debt through
deficit spending.<br />
In the twenty-year period, 1980 to 2000, that national debt grew to
$5 trillion. Then during the eight years of the George W. Bush’s
Republican Administration from 2001 to 2009 the debt doubled to around
$10 trillion. And over the eight years of Barack Obama’s Democratic
Administration the national debt doubled, one more, to just short of $20
trillion.<br />

What is most criticized in our social order is the inequality in
the distribution of wealth and income, There are rich and poor; there
are very rich and very poor. The way out is not far to seek: the equal
distribution of all wealth.<br />
The first objection to this proposal is that it will not help the
situation much because those of moderate means far outnumber the rich,
so that each individual could expect from such a distribution only a
quite insignificant increment in his standard of living. This is
certainly correct, but the argument is not complete. Those who advocate
equality of income distribution overlook the most important point,
namely, that the total available for distribution, the annual product of
social labor, is not independent of the manner in which it is divided.<br />

In the early morning hours of June 12, 2016, a 29-year-old,
American-born Muslim of Afghan descent, Omar Mateen, with allegiance to
the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), entered a nightclub in
Orlando, Florida, armed with a semi-automatic, high-capacity rifle and
handgun, and began shooting and taking hostages. Although an Orlando
police officer serving as an armed guard outside the club engaged
Mateen, the attacker was able to force his way into the nightclub.
Within three hours, he had had killed 49 patrons and employees, and
wounded another 53. Predictably, gun-control advocates Barack Obama,
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Senate Minority
Leader Harry Reid, et cetera, berated Congress for not having passed
more-stringent gun-control laws. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson
declared gun control <i>“</i>a matter of national security.” The <i>New York Daily News</i>
went so far as to blame the National Rifle Association (NRA) for the
massacre by running a front-page headline the next day saying, “THANKS,
NRA.”<br />

<blockquote>
“The first and most important thing to understand
about politics is this: forget Right, Left, Center, socialism, fascism,
or democracy. Every government that exists — or ever existed, or ever
will exist — is a kleptocracy, meaning ‘rule by thieves.’ Competing
ideologies merely provide different excuses to separate the Productive
Class from what they produce. If the taxpayer/voters won’t willingly
fork over to end poverty, then maybe they’ll cough up to fight drugs or
terrorism. Conflicting ideologies, as presently constituted, are nothing
more than a cover for what’s really going on, like the colors of
competing gangs.” — Author L. Neil Smith</blockquote>
The American kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves) continues to
suck the American people down a rabbit hole into a parallel universe in
which the Constitution is meaningless, the government is all-powerful,
and the citizenry is powerless to defend itself against government
agents who steal, spy, lie, plunder, kill, abuse and generally inflict
mayhem and sow madness on everyone and everything in their sphere.<br />

abdication of Tsar Nicholas II on March 15, 1917 passed without an
official remembrance in St. Petersburg, where a new Russia was birthed.<br />
The Putin government may want to preserve national unity or fear
encouraging modern revolutionaries. Indeed, President Vladimir Putin
looks a lot like a tsar of old. Official silence has not, however,
stopped a group of Russians under former television journalist Mikhail
Zygar from creating Project 1917 to recreate the events of a century
ago.<br />

The <a href="http://quotes.wsj.com/JP/XTKS/8301" target="_blank">Bank of Japan</a> recently <a href="http://www.boj.or.jp/en/announcements/release_2016/k160129a.pdf" target="_blank">announced</a>
that it would follow the European Central Bank’s lead and implement a
“negative interest rate” policy. Reducing interest rates is supposed to
increase spending and investment, spurring growth.<br />
It won’t work. Negative central-bank interest rates will not create
growth any more than the Federal Reserve’s near-zero interest rates did
in the U.S. And it will divert attention from the structural problems
that have plagued growth here, as well as in Europe and Japan, and how
these problems can be solved.<br />

The Federal Reserve bailed out Bear Stearns on March 14, nine years
ago. What has the Fed learned from that mistake? Not enough, perhaps.<br />
A little understood part of the Bear story is that in March 2008, the
Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, ignored critical facts
concerning Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Unfortunately, the Fed may be
making the exact same mistake today.<br />
Bear’s problems came from excessive investment in bonds based on
subprime mortgages, which carry greater risk for one or more reasons,
such as the borrower’s poor credit rating. Fannie and Freddie were the
principal housing lenders, having been organized as “Government
Sponsored Enterprises” or “GSEs,” and they were responsible for the
creation of much of the subprime mortgages.<br />

A common refrain from conservative Donald Trump supporters was that
Trump would ensure the sanctity of the 10th Amendment through his court
picks and his nominee for attorney general. Only a month into the
administration, however, that hope is already in danger of collapsing.<br />
While there is every reason to believe that Neil Gorsuch will be a
solid federalist, the trajectory of the Department of Justice and the
administration as a whole is threatening a much different path.<br />
Recently White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/02/23/spicer-feds-could-step-up-anti-pot-enforcement-in-states-where-recreational-marijuana-is-legal/?utm_term=.3fa9ba0d2204" target="_blank">Sean Spicer said</a> that
states that have legalized marijuana would see more federal enforcement
action. This suggests that the Sessions Department of Justice would
take a more federal line on marijuana than the Obama administration,
which largely, <a href="http://time.com/4080110/dea-medical-marijuana-california-ruling/" target="_blank">albeit inconsistently</a>, respected state laws legalizing marijuana.<br />

President Donald Trump’s “skinny budget” is a striking read for a
Brit imbued in the UK debate about “austerity”. The intent, according to
his Office of Management and Budget, is to turn the President’s
speeches, policies and ideas “from words to numbers”. For all the
wailing and gnashing of teeth about the effects of Conservative budgets
on UK departments, Trump’s would cut spending from some more in a year
than those vicious Tories will over a decade.<br />
</div>
</div>
</article>The numbers speak for themselves. Department
for Agriculture spending down 20.7 percent between 2017 and 2018. Energy
down 5.6 percent. Housing and Urban Development down 13.2 percent.<br />

“I didn’t know devils could be resurrected, but I feel Hitler in these streets.”<br />
Do you remember when actress Ashley Judd <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/01/21/ashley-judd-at-womens-march-i-feel-hitler-in-these-streets-n2274910">said that</a>
at the Women’s March in January? It was over inauguration weekend.
Well, Judd found Hitler in the bleachers of a Kentucky basketball game <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/mar/13/ashley-judd-very-sad-scared-after-man-says-we-like/">over the weekend</a> and was triggered when a man told her “we like Trump.” She took to Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AshleyJuddOfficial/posts/1215526315231570">to detail the incident</a>,
which she said left her “very sad” and “scared.” Oh, and then proceeded
to tell what she wanted to say to the man, like he’s a misogynist and
he voted with the KKK, but refrained because basketball is a unifying
space [emphasis mine]:<br />
<center>
</center>
<blockquote>
<strong>An older man with white hair came up to me at my seat today at a basketball game. He said "May I take your picture? I said "Yes</strong>."
And before I could offer for him to be in the picture with me, 6 inches
from my face, he took my picture with his phone. He said "I'm from Big
Stone gap." I said, "I love Big Stone Gap! What a beautiful town, I
loved making the movie there." I went on to say how good the cooking is,
mentioning, of course, the pineapple upside down cake and pumpkin pie!

Dr. Ben Carson, in a speech before employees of Housing and Urban
Development, the department he now runs, likened slaves to "immigrants":
"That's what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity.
There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships,
worked even longer, even harder, for less. But they, too, had a dream
that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters,
great-grandsons, great-granddaughters, might pursue prosperity and
happiness in this land."<br />
Carson got hammered.<br />

On his first Monday on the job, President Trump invited business
leaders to the White House, fed them breakfast, called them “great
people,” and then lowered his protectionist boom. “If you go to another
country” and cut U.S. jobs, “we are going to be imposing a very major
border tax” on that product, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-01-23/trump-said-to-meet-with-dow-ceo-liveris-labor-leaders-on-monday"><span style="font-weight: 400;">he told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the executives. During his campaign Trump defined “major” as 35%. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A couple days before, the new
President shouted his dystopian vision of America to a quarter million
or a million or whatever number of brave souls who braved a wet
Washington day to hear his inaugural address. The wasteland of empty
factories and unmet hopes and dreams stops today, he said to a
smattering of applause, with the ghosts of Reed Smoot and Willis Hawley,
the grandfathers of economic isolationism, flanking his either side. </span><br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The monetary matadors at the Federal
Reserve have stared into the eyes of mild price inflation for years.
They didn’t move a muscle for years and have finally twitched ever so
slightly, a couple times in the last few months, with a promise of more.
</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">It is the view of Fed Chair Janet Yellen that signs of overheating in the broader economy are “scarce.” The indispensable </span><a href="http://www.grantspub.com/student"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Grant’s Interest Rate Observer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">
isn’t so sure and devoted its front page and then some of its March 10
issue to inflation and how it’s measured. After all, the price level is
the North Star of central bank policy. </span><br />

With the Fed in its centennial year, Janet Yellen facing confirmation
hearings in the Senate, and questions swirling over whether the Fed
will enact “tapering,” many monetary scholars are asking: Was the Fed a
good idea?<br />
<br />
Not since the Great Inflation of the early 1980s has the Fed been so
controversial. Its causal role in the housing boom and bust remains
contentious. Other factors aside, the Fed was a poor overseer of the
safety and soundness of the financial system. At best, the central bank
was a passive bystander during the boom and early stages of the housing
bust; it couldn’t even accept that we were in the midst of nationwide
housing downturn. </div>

Are we headed for another global financial crisis? The market
convulsions of the past week reflected a continuation of a market
selloff that began on the first trading day of 2016. Investors have
reasons to be fearful—but not terrified.<br />
This year is likely to be one of financial crises in industries and
countries around the world. Whether those turn into a global financial
crisis is an open question, and the answer will likely turn on the
health of the U.S. financial industry and broader economy. No crisis is
global if American financial markets hold up. The best I can foresee, at
this moment, is that a true global financial crisis is not likely.<br />

I have chosen a provocative title, but it is fully justified. Fed
officials are flying on autopilot, but the controls don’t work anymore,
or at least not reliably. Fed watchers are largely clueless. The
investment community and the economy may be collateral damage.<br />
Let me begin by briefly reviewing the recent past. All through last
year, Fed officials were signaling they would begin a program of rate
increases. At first, there were going to be 8 increases of one quarter
point. As the year progressed, the first increase faded into the future.
Finally, in December 2015, the Fed finally hiked its new interest-rate
targets by 25 basis points. In my opinion, the FOMC did so largely to
keep its credibility.<br />

The Federal Reserve is widely expected to increase the short-term
interest rates it controls by 25 basis points. There have been a string
of statements to that effect by Fed Governors and Presidents. And now
Fed Vice Chairman Fischer and Chair Janet Yellen have added their voices
to the chorus.<br />
Most notable has been the change of heart by Governor Lael Brainard.
She was a prominent dove prior to the election. Now she has turned hawk,
in what may be one of the greatest conversions since that of St. Paul
on the road to Damascus.<br />

As we wait to see what shape President Donald Trump’s foreign
policies will take, debate over former President Barack Obama’s legacy
continues. Did Obama successfully end the war in Iraq, or did he help
create the Islamic State by withdrawing U.S. troops too soon? Was it
prudence or poor judgment that kept Obama from intervening in Syria’s
civil war? The Obama era will have a deep impact on policy debates for
years to come, serving as a template that will shape how decision-makers
think about the use of military force. Getting the assessment right is
crucial. Unfortunately, many seem to view it through the wrong lens.<br />

Donald Trump railed against rising government debt on the campaign
trail, but we don’t know yet how he will tackle the problem as
president. The debt lurks behind many issues on his plate, including
Obamacare repeal, tax reform, defense spending, the border wall, and his
upcoming budget. A vote on the statutory debt limit is also coming up.<br />
Trump faces tough choices because President Barack Obama left him
with a fiscal mess. A river of red ink under President George W. Bush
turned into a torrent under Obama. Federal debt held by the public <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52370" target="_blank">soared from</a> $5.8
trillion in 2008 to $14.2 trillion in 2016. As a share of gross
domestic product (GDP), the debt almost doubled from 39 percent to 77
percent.<br />

Robert Lighthizer, appearing today at a hearing focused on his
qualifications to lead the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative
(USTR). The Senate Finance Committee will evaluate his ability to
fulfill <a href="https://ustr.gov/about-us/about-ustr" target="_blank">USTR’s mission</a>,
which emphasizes working “toward opening markets throughout the world
to create new opportunities and higher living standards for families,
farmers, manufacturers, workers, consumers, and businesses.”<br />
Many nations have trade-distorting policies. Eliminating distortions
would benefit U.S. exporters, not to mention people in those countries.
The USTR rightly should strive to achieve reforms overseas. However, the
USTR should never lose sight of a basic economic reality:<br />

The system of checks and balances that the Constitution
established is an essential safeguard against government overreach. Yet,
the ever growing administrative state often undermines fundamental
checks and balances. “Fourth branch” agencies frequently take on
legislative, executive, and judicial roles simultaneously. And to make
matters worse, administrative officials are much less accountable to the
people than their counterparts in the traditional three branches.<br />
One especially alarming example of the breakdown of essential
separation of powers within the administrative state is the Securities
and Exchange Commission’s use of <a href="https://www.sec.gov/alj" target="_blank">administrative law judges</a>
(ALJs). ALJs adjudicate most of the SEC’s enforcement actions. They
have the authority to impose significant civil penalties and can bar
respondents from working in the securities industry.<br />

Eleven House Republicans are pushing new legislation to provide a
pathway to legal status for young immigrants who entered the United
States as children—commonly known as “Dreamers.”* Congressman Carlos
Curbelo (R-FL) and ten other Republican members <a href="https://curbelo.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1368" target="_blank">introduced</a> Recognizing America’s Children (RAC) Act today (<a href="https://curbelo.house.gov/uploadedfiles/recognizing_americas_children_act.pdf">PDF</a>).
The bill will benefit the United States economy and provide certainty
for a group of young people who are deserving of a humane approach.<br />

While the newest federal agency, the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB), has been controversial for many reasons, its
most troubling feature may simply be its unconstitutional structure. Its
sole director reports to no one but himself, and, under the terms of <a href="https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-111publ203/pdf/PLAW-111publ203.pdf">Dodd-Frank</a>,
can be removed by the president only for cause. And it receives its
funding not through Congress, but through the Federal Reserve. Not even
the Fed has the authority to challenge its spending, however. Instead,
the law says the Fed “shall” give the CFPB the funds it requests, up to
12 percent of the Fed’s total operating expenses. As of 2015, that meant
the CFPB could demand up to $443 million in one year.<br />

Four decades ago, the United States began a dramatic change in
domestic policy, repealing swaths of economic regulation and abolishing
whole agencies charged with managing sectors of the U.S. economy.<br />
If you mention this “deregulation” today, most people think it refers
to wild Reagan administration efforts to undo environmental, health,
and safety protections. In fact, the deregulation movement predated
Ronald Reagan’s presidency, had broad bipartisan support, and had little
to do with health, safety, or environmental policy. Rather,
deregulation targeted regulations that directed business operations in
different sectors of the American economy: which airlines could service
which routes, what railroads could charge what amounts for their
services, how telephone service would be billed and what technologies
would be used, how the power industry was organized, and much more.<br />

A new Congressional Budget Office report <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/americanhealthcareact_0.pdf">projecting</a>
the effects of the House Republican leadership’s American Health Care
Act weakens the case for the bill’s ObamaCare-lite approach, and
strengthens the case for full repeal. The CBO projects that over the
next two years, the AHCA would cause average premiums to rise 15 percent
to 20 percent above ObamaCare’s already high premium levels. The report
raises the prospect that insurance markets may collapse under the AHCA,
just as they are collapsing under ObamaCare. It makes unreasonable
assumptions about Medicaid spending; more reasonable assumptions could
completely eliminate the bill’s projected deficit reduction. Finally,
the CBO projects more people will lose coverage under the AHCA than
under full repeal.<br />

During the presidential campaign, Donald Trump <a href="https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/_landings/contract/O-TRU-102316-Contractv02.pdf">promised</a> legislation that “fully repeals ObamaCare.” Monday night, the Republican leadership of the House of Representatives released <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/4f82iy7d92u0c3a/AmericanHealthCareAct.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">legislation</a> it
claims would repeal and replace ObamaCare. Tuesday afternoon, Vice
President Mike Pence will travel to Capitol Hill to pressure members of
Congress to support the bill. On Wednesday, two House Committees will
begin to mark-up the legislation. House and Senate leaders are hoping
for quick consideration and a signing ceremony, maybe by May, so they
can move on to other things, like tax reform and confirming Supreme
Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch.<br />
Everyone needs to take a step back. This bill is a train wreck waiting to happen.<br />
The House leadership bill isn’t even a repeal bill. Not by a long
shot. It would repeal far less of ObamaCare than the bill Republicans
sent to President Obama one year ago. The ObamaCare regulations it
retains are already causing insurance markets to collapse. It would
allow that collapse to continue, and even accelerate the collapse.
Republicans would then own whatever damage ObamaCare causes, such as
when the law leaves seriously ill patients with no coverage at all.<br />

<br />
Last January, Senators Bob Menendez and Maria Cantwell <a href="http://www.menendez.senate.gov/news-and-events/press/sens-menendez-cantwell-offer-keystone-xl-amendment-on-eminent-domain" target="_blank">offered an amendment</a> to <a href="http://thefirstprinciple.com/blogpost/?postid=344" target="_blank">the Keystone Pipeline bill</a> stipulating
that “Land or an interest in land for the pipeline and cross-border
facilities described in subsection (a) may only be acquired from willing
sellers.” You might think that Senate conservatives—always (loudly)
mindful of private property rights—would be inclined to sign on. Alas, <a href="http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=114&session=1&vote=00022" target="_blank">only Senators Kelly Ayotte and Rand Paul</a> broke Republican ranks to vote “yes.”<br />
Earlier this month, <a href="https://nextgenclimate.org/about/tom-steyer/" target="_blank">Tom Steyer’s</a> NextGen Climate <a href="https://nextgenclimate.org/press-rel/republican-senators-continue-to-defend-transcanadas-land-grab/" target="_blank">charged</a>
that Senate Republicans were “willing to completely abandon their own
principles in order to kowtow to their Big Oil backers.” While
conservatives certainly won’t relish lectures about principles from the
likes of Mr. Steyer, in this case, he has a point. <a href="http://keystone-xl.com/?gclid=CjwKEAjw876oBRCYr86w6KGfpkgSJAACIidwn1HkrvGWTlWjR1e3MtTCGZycNPIR5VS_0sJq2Nl89xoCzbfw_wcB" target="_blank">TransCanada</a>—the
company building the Keystone XL Pipeline—is using eminent domain to
seize private property in a fashion that would send conservatives around
the bend <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2015/03/01/3625804/keystone-kelo-eminent-domain-property/" target="_blank">were those methods employed in other contexts</a>.<br />

<span class="byline">by Jacob T. Levy</span>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most striking features of the opposition to the Trump administration’s initial executive order </span><a href="https://niskanencenter.org/blog/free-society-open-society/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">against migrants from seven majority-Muslim countries as well as all refugee claims </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">is
how important state governments were to it. The lawsuit that led to a
nationwide injunction against the order was filed by the state of
Washington, later joined by Minnesota. Seventeen other states joined a
brief supporting Washington and Minnesota. This is strange on its face.
Setting aside the disputed question of how much unilateral authority the
president has over immigration policy relative to Congress and the
federal judiciary, it at least seems clear that immigration policy is a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">federal </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">matter,
not the business of the states. Individual persons affected by the ban
might sue on the basis of religious discrimination, national origin
discrimination, or lack of due process, but why are the states involved?</span><br />

<span class="byline">by Ryan Muldoon</span>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">In </span><a href="https://niskanencenter.org/blog/diversity-disagreement-solution-not-problem/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">my previous essay</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,
I wrote about the value of factions, and how liberalism’s strengths
come from diversity and disagreement. I mentioned that diversity is hard
because it asks us to tolerate views that we abhor. </span><a href="https://niskanencenter.org/blog/tale-two-moralities-part-one-regional-inequality-moral-polarization/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Will Wilkinson has argued</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the United States has been slowly sorting itself into two competing tribes that come with rather different sets of values.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A stark challenge for liberalism is
managing this level of disagreement. Of course, we have a set of
procedures that are designed for just that—they are embodied in the
Constitution. The liberal order is built upon the rule of law, and so we
might expect the Constitution to carry us through potential dark times
and see us through to the other side. I want to suggest that a reliance
on the law won’t be good enough.</span><br />

<hr />
<span class="byline">by Joseph Majkut</span>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">On Tuesday, the House Science Committee held a </span><a href="https://science.house.gov/legislation/hearings/subcommittee-environment-and-subcommittee-oversight-hearing-what-cost-examining"><span style="font-weight: 400;">hearing</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to examine the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC). The SCC is an estimate of the total impact</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">most of which will occur in the future</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">from
an additional ton of CO2 emitted today. To advance its climate agenda,
the Obama Administration built an interagency working group (IWG) to
calculate the SCC (</span><a href="https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-12/documents/sc_co2_tsd_august_2016.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">presently $39 per ton</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">) and used the value to justify regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The SCC faces an uncertain, but </span><a href="https://niskanencenter.org/blog/trump-spell-climate-doom/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">probably bleak</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, future as a regulatory tool under the Trump Administration, and it is not clear that it </span><a href="https://niskanencenter.org/blog/social-cost-carbon-trial/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">deserves a better fate</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.
But it is still worth thinking about the statements offered to the
committee and what SCC calculations tell us about the scale of climate
risks. </span><br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sunday night,
reports emerged that the Trump administration would soon announce a
massive increase in defense spending. Monday morning, the president made
the announcement that his administration would soon release a budget
blueprint that included a $54 billion increase in defense
spending—offset by cuts to the Department of State, foreign aid, and a
variety of domestic discretionary program. President Trump referred to
it as a “public safety and national security budget” in his remarks. But
the statement gave little indication of what threat the additional $54
billion was necessary to counter.</span><br />

Donald Trump tore up the broad consensus on international free trade with a <a href="http://www.cityam.com/257588/sterling-pushed-higher-dollar-weakness-donald-trump-fails" target="_blank">miserable, protectionist inaugural speech on Friday</a>.
So explicit was his outlook that those of us who had become complacent
about his economic impact — the “how bad can he be?” crowd — have had to
sit up and reassess.<br />
In a pugnacious passage, he claimed: “Every decision on trade… will
be made to benefit American workers and American families. We must
protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our
products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. Protection
will lead to great prosperity and strength.”<br />

The chancellor Philip Hammond <a href="http://www.cityam.com/260260/budget-2017-uk-predictions-you-can-expect-chancellors" target="_blank">will take to the despatch box tomorrow to deliver his Budget</a>.<br />

But this short-term focus misses the real policy story of the
post-crisis period. The political class is failing to address our
long-term fiscal challenges, with its spending choices arbitrarily
reshaping the British state while entrenching growing welfare
expenditure on politically powerful groups.<br />
This dawned on me last week when watching President <a href="http://www.cityam.com/people/donald-trump" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a> <a href="http://www.cityam.com/259878/trumps-economic-adviser-targets-tax-reforms-ahead-major" target="_blank">outline the broad contours of his budget plan to the US Congress</a>. “The Donald” wants to boost military spending by $50bn, paid for by discretionary spending cuts in a range of departments.<br />

Those who believed President Donald Trump’s trade policy couldn’t be
as bad as suggested might want to reassess. For his adviser Peter
Navarro has written a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-the-white-house-worries-about-trade-deficits-1488751930" target="_blank">spectacularly economically ignorant article</a> on the subject for the <em>Wall Street Journal</em>, fulfilling <a href="https://capx.co/is-this-the-most-dangerous-man-in-the-world/" target="_blank">all of Robert Colvile’s fears</a>.<br />
His premise is simple: trade deficits are a drain on economic growth,
and the capital surpluses necessary to finance them are also harmful to
American interests.<br />
Where to start?<br />

John Bolton <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-trade-and-american-sovereignty-1488931180" target="_blank">took to the pages</a> of the <em>Wall Street Journal</em> yesterday
to assert America’s interest in abandoning international institutions
that threaten U.S. sovereignty. In identifying the World Trade
Organization’s Dispute Settlement Body as such an institution, Bolton
was reinforcing a central theme of the Trump administration’s
recently-minted <a href="https://ustr.gov/about-us/policy-offices/press-office/reports-and-publications/2017/2017-trade-policy-agenda-and-2016" target="_blank">2017 Trade Policy Agenda</a>. That
document is short on specifics, but makes one thing clear: Under threat
of going rogue, the United States will leverage its indispensability to
compel changes at the WTO that accommodate a more expansive, less
surgical application of domestic trade laws.<br />

Candidate Donald Trump offered a sharp break from his predecessors.
He was particularly critical of neoconservatives, who seemed to back war
at every turn.<br />
Indeed, he promised not to include in his administration “those who
have perfect resumes but very little to brag about except responsibility
for a long history of failed policies and continued losses at war.” And
he’s generally kept that commitment, for instance rejecting as deputy
secretary of state Elliot Abrams, who said Trump was unfit to be
president.<br />

<h3>
<strong>1.<em> Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back </em>(1980)</strong></h3>
<span>A tyrannical Empire threatens the freedom of its people and
uses mind control, torture, propaganda, and force (including The Force)
to destroy their way of life and even an entire religion. There’s no way
this could happen on our planet, only in a faraway galaxy… right? </span><br />
<span><img alt="" data-id="149279" src="https://fee.org/media/21423/empire-strikes-back-195x300.jpg?width=195&height=300" style="float: left; height: 300px; width: 195px;" /></span><em>Empire</em><span> won Best Sound Mixing and a Special Achievement Academy Award; other films that have received this award include</span><em> Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, </em><span>and</span><em> Toy Story.</em><br />
<h3>
<strong>2.<em> All Quiet on the Western Front</em> (1930)</strong></h3>
For countless generations, young people have been taught that
fighting and dying for their country is the most glorious thing a
citizen can do. Two millennia ago, the Roman poet Horace opined, “Dulce
et decorum est pro Patria Mori” — how sweet and honorable to die for the
fatherland!<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<img alt="" data-id="149280" src="https://fee.org/media/21424/all_quiet_on_the_western_front_-1930_film-_poster.jpg?width=220&height=342" style="float: right; height: 342px; width: 220px;" /></div>
In <em>All Quiet on the Western Front</em>, a soldier repudiates the
professor who planted this idea in his head, recounting the horrors of
the Great War to a new class of young students. “We used to think you
knew; the first bombardment taught us better. It’s dirty and painful to
die for your country. When it comes to dying for your country, it’s
better not to die at all! There are millions out there dying for their
countries, and what good is it?”<br />
<em>All Quiet </em>won Academy Awards for Best Director and Outstanding Production in 1930.<br />

<strong>From Radical Revolutionaries to Privileged Bureaucrats</strong><br />
The great German sociologist, Max Weber (1864-1920) offered an
understanding of the evolution of socialist regimes in the twentieth
century from revolutionary radicalism to a stagnant system of power,
privilege and plunder, manned by self-interested Soviet socialist office
holders.<br />
Max Weber, in his posthumously published monumental treatise, Economy
and Society (1925), defined a charismatic leader as one who stands out
from the ordinary mass of men because of an element in his personality
viewed as containing exceptional powers and qualities. He is on a
mission because he has been endowed with a particular intellectual spark
that enables him to see what other men do not, to understand what the
mass of his fellow men fail to comprehend.<br />

<div class="article-body-text">
Now that Donald Trump has been elected, one of my main goals will be to convince him and his team that it <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/the-slow-motion-train-wreck-of-entitlement-programs/">would be wrong to leave government spending on autopilot</a> (and it would be even worse to spend more money and increase the burden of government!).<br />
Since Trump <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/08/11/the-penny-plan-is-a-spending-cap-formula-to-make-the-trump-tax-cuts-feasible/">semi-endorsed the Penny Plan</a>, I don’t think this is a hopeless quest. But it will be an uphill battle since populists have a “<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/10/08/a-videos-primer-on-public-choice-economics/">public choice</a>” incentive to appease interest groups.<br />
But we have a very powerful weapon in this battle. It’s called evidence.<br />
And now there’s even more data on our side. The Institute for
Economic Affairs in London has just published an excellent new book on
fiscal policy. Edited by Philip Booth, <a href="https://iea.org.uk/publications/taxation-government-spending-and-economic-growth/"><em>Taxation, Government Spending, & Economic Growth</em></a> is must reading for those who want to understand the deleterious impact of the modern welfare state.<br />
The IEA’s Director General, Mark Littlewood, explains the goal in the book’s foreword.<br />

Yesterday I <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/12/15/a-big-fiscal-victory-constitutional-spending-caps-for-brazil/">shared some very good news</a> about Brazil adopting a spending cap.<br />
Today, I also want to share some good news, though it’s not nearly as momentous.<br />
<img alt="" data-id="145702" src="https://fee.org/media/19838/rich-bureaucrats-and-lobbyists.jpg?width=223&height=159" style="float: right; height: 159px; padding: 15px; width: 223px;" />Indeed, it’s not even good news. Instead, it’s just that some bad news isn’t as bad as it used to be.<br />
I’m referring to the fact that the nation’s capital region <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2012/02/22/based-on-where-the-top-1-percent-lives-the-occupy-crowd-should-be-protesting-against-big-government/">used to be home</a> to 10 of the nation’s 15-richest counties.<br />
That was back in 2012, and I viewed it as a terrible sign that the DC area was packed with <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/taxpayers-vs-bureaucrats-the-video-version/">overpaid bureaucrats</a>, oleaginous rent seekers, and government cronies, all of whom were <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/12/05/explaining-the-corrupt-relationship-between-politicians-special-interests-and-lobbyists/">enjoying undeserved wealth</a> financed by hard-working taxpayers from the rest of America.<br />
Well, now for the “good news.”<br />
Terry Jeffrey has <a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/census-bureau-4-richest-counties-us-are-suburbs-dc">a column</a> for <em>CNS News</em> about the current concentration of wealth in the national capital area.<br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">There is irrational comfort taken in
the belief that man-made laws somehow ensure equality for all. More
often than not, the exact opposite is true.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Within the next week, UC Berkeley
will be forced to remove over 20,000 lectures, videos, and other digital
documents from its free online library. While the prestigious school
has been generous in making its electronic resources available to the
public, a violation of the Americans with Disability Act</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">has left the University with no other choice but to remove the online archive in its entirety.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">We are currently living in a golden
age of information, where the internet has provided the world with
limitless sources of learning without ever having to leave the comfort
of home. Like many institutions of higher education, including many
other Ivy League schools, UC Berkeley has contributed to open source
learning by sharing its curricula and other materials to online
platforms like YouTube and iTunes, as well as its</span><a href="http://webcast.berkeley.edu/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">own site</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span><br />

The tax-and-transfer welfare state is in deep trouble. I <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/trump-entitlements-and-americas-potential-greek-future/">explained last year</a> that the United States faces a very serious long-run challenge.<br />
<blockquote>
Many of our entitlement programs were created based on the assumption
that we would always have an expanding population, as represented by a
population pyramid. …however, we’ve seen major changes in demographic
trends, including longer lifespans and falling birthrates. The
combination of these two factors means that our population pyramid is
slowly, but surely, turning into a <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/08/26/in-one-image-everything-you-need-to-know-about-americas-demographic-challenge/" target="_blank">population cylinder</a>. …this looming shift in America’s population profile means massive amounts of <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/the-slow-motion-train-wreck-of-entitlement-programs/" target="_blank">red ink</a> as the baby boom generation moves into full retirement.</blockquote>

While President Trump apparently intends to waste taxpayer money for <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/08/08/trumps-social-engineering-scheme-to-make-the-tax-code-more-complex-and-increase-the-cost-of-child-care/">more childcare subsidies</a> and presumably is going to duck the <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/trump-entitlements-and-americas-potential-greek-future/">critical issue of entitlement reform</a>, there is some good news for advocates of limited government and fiscal responsibility.<br />
<strong>What’s Going On?</strong><br />
According to <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-administration-propose-dramatic-reductions-foreign-aid-185155685--business.html">a recent news report</a>, he’s not a big fan of outlays for foreign aid.<br />
The White House budget director confirmed Saturday that the Trump
administration will propose “fairly dramatic reductions” in the U.S.
foreign aid budget later this month.<br />
…news outlets reported earlier this week that the administration
plans to propose to Congress cuts in the budgets for the U.S. State
Department and Agency for International Development by about one third.<br />

Early last month, in <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2017/01/01/hopes-and-fears-for-policy-in-2017/">a column</a> on my hopes and fears for 2017, I fretted about fiscal chaos in Italy leading to default and bailouts.<br />
Simply stated, I fear that Italy, along with certain other “Club Med” nations, has <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/10/27/has-italy-passed-the-point-of-no-return-for-statism-and-big-government/">passed the point of no return</a> in terms of big government, demographic decline, and societal dependency.<br />
And this means that, sooner or later, the proverbial wheels are going to fall off the bus. And it might be sooner.<br />
<strong>On Shaky Ground</strong><br />
I don’t always agree with his policy recommendations, but I regularly
read Desmond Lachman of the American Enterprise Institute because he is
one of the best-informed people in Washington on the fiscal and
economic mess in Europe.<br />
And Italy, to be blunt, is in a mess.<br />
Here’s what Desmond <a href="https://www.aei.org/publication/why-italys-shaky-economy-should-worry-us-all/">just wrote</a> about the country’s economy.<br />

Back in May, I <a href="https://capx.co/as-venezuela-craters-appeal-of-socialism-remains/" target="_blank">wrote</a>
about the heart-breaking descent of Venezuela from relative prosperity
into socialist destitution. The humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in
the Latin American nation should serve as a warning to everyone – don’t
try this at home!<br />
<span class="rte-quote">It should be possible to separate Pinochet's murders from the economic reforms he undertook.</span><br />
Yet socialism is very much alive in the least likely place – Chile.
Chile, the poster child for the benefits of economic liberalization, is
experiencing a resurgence of the Left. Why? To answer that question, let
us look at the state of affairs in both countries.<br />
Chile was one of the poorer Latin American countries until relatively
recently. In 1950, for example, its average annual income per capita
(PPP) was a mere 38 per cent of that of Venezuela – Latin America’s
richest nation. That’s where things stood, when a Castro-inspired
socialist, Salvador Allende, was elected as Chile’s 30<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">th</span> president in November 1970.<br />

Ever since governments began banning and licensing different parts of
the economy, the black market has made sure people still have access to
the things they need. Unstable governments always turn on their own
citizens using price controls, heavy taxes, and even the threat of
imprisonment to prop up their failing systems. As conditions inevitably
deteriorate, as they have in <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/20/venezuelas-crisis-cause-its-people-to-cut-meals-and-lose-weight.html" target="_blank">Venezuela</a> and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/business/international/greece-debt-crisis-euro.html?_r=0" target="_blank">Greece</a>, the underground economy becomes invaluable to those living through the crisis.<br />
<strong>Markets Survive in Venezuela</strong><br />
The shadow economy refers to more than just the trade of illegal
goods. A grey market, for example, provides legal products distributed
through illegal channels. Since basic things like toilet paper,
medicine, and even food have <a href="https://www.hrw.org/report/2016/10/24/venezuelas-humanitarian-crisis/severe-medical-and-food-shortages-inadequate-and" target="_blank">disappeared</a>
from store shelves in Venezuela, the peer-to-peer network has become
the only reliable way to secure life’s necessities. In desperate
situations like this, the existence of independent merchants can mean
the difference between life and death.<br />

MILAN
– A knowledgeable friend in Milan recently asked me the following
question: “If an outside investor, say, from the United States, wanted
to invest a substantial sum in the Italian economy, what would you
advise?” I replied that, although there are many opportunities to invest
in companies and sectors, the overall investment environment is
complicated. I would recommend investing alongside a knowledgeable
domestic partner, who can navigate the system, and spot partly hidden
risks.
</div>
<div data-line-id="81d6478f532549919ada31dec8a55999">
Of
course, the same advice applies to many other countries as well, such
as China, India, and Brazil. But the eurozone is increasingly turning
into a two-speed economic bloc, and the potential political
ramifications of this trend are amplifying investors’ concerns.

MILAN
– Successful economic globalization requires reasonably successful
growth patterns in individual countries. That dynamic characterized the
30 years or so after World War II: growth rates were relatively high
across a wide range of countries; their benefits were broadly shared
within countries; and the rise of developing countries reduced global
inequality. This period was arguably the heyday of globalization.
</div>
<div data-line-id="3eaa800d6057472aa21ff5838b114740">
Of
course, globalization continued through the 1970s and beyond. But the
underlying growth patterns changed. Driven by the labor arbitrage
embedded in economic globalization and the rise of disruptive digital
technologies, advanced economies’ middle-class manufacturing jobs
disappeared, their median incomes stagnated, and job and income
polarization grew, even as GDP growth remained strong. This new pattern –
which persisted through the 1980s and 1990s, and accelerated after 2000
– caused inequality to rise sharply, weakening the foundations of
globalization.

– There is no question that the recovery from the global recession
triggered by the 2008 financial crisis has been unusually lengthy and
anemic. Some still expect an upswing in growth. But, eight years after
the crisis erupted, what the global economy is experiencing is starting
to look less like a slow recovery than like a new low-growth
equilibrium. Why is this happening, and is there anything we can do
about it?
</div>
<div data-line-id="d9968fa2991948ee84e72e9e28d51e30">
One
potential explanation for this “new normal” that has gotten a lot of
attention is declining productivity growth. But, despite considerable
data and analysis, productivity’s role in the current malaise has been
difficult to pin down – and, in fact, seems not to be as pivotal as many
think.

CAMBRIDGE
– “When men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths,” US
Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote in a <a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0250_0616_ZD.html" target="_blank">famous dissenting opinion in 1919</a>,
“they may come to believe…that the ultimate good desired is better
reached by free trade in ideas – that the best test of truth is the
power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the
market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes safely
can be carried out.”</div>
<div data-line-id="53f5a55b80084f8aa6d99c781739042d">
Like
any market, however, the marketplace of ideas needs regulation: in
particular, its participants should be bound by norms of honesty,
humility, and civility. Moreover, every idea-trader should adhere to
these principles.</div>

CAMBRIDGE
– Like most people who create an “ism,” John Maynard Keynes quickly
found his followers running ahead of him. “You are more Keynesian than I
am,” he once told a young American economist. Now it is the turn of his
biographer, Robert Skidelsky, to become distinctly more Keynesian than
Keynes.
</div>
<div data-line-id="52b8e63072b64e0cb3f0d8f2ef06b6e7">
Keynes
was not averse to changing his mind. But, as far I am aware, he did not
change his predictions after the fact. This does not seem to be the
case for Skidelsky.
</div>
<div data-line-id="92f615e8b3534bd788d36b0b54b6089b">
In November 2010, Skidelsky <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/hi/house_of_lords/newsid_9146000/9146065.stm" target="_blank">described</a>
British Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne as a “menace to the
future of the economy,” whose policies “doomed” the United Kingdom to
“years of interminable recession.” In July 2011, he <a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/8f8888cc-bba9-11e0-a7c8-00144feabdc0.html" target="_blank">declared</a> that Osborne was making a “wasteland.” </div>

<blockquote>
By the time Christopher Columbus appeared in Lisbon in 1477
an Old World slave trade was thriving in the eastern Atlantic between
West Africa, the Atlantic islands, and Europe. In his famous letter on
his first voyage he informed Ferdinand and Isabella he could, with their
help, give them "slaves, as many as they shall order." On his second
voyage Columbus loaded five hundred Indian slaves aboard returning
caravels. On the last leg of his voyage to Cadiz, "about two hundred of
these Indians died," a passenger recorded, appending, "We cast them into
the sea." In this manner the discoverer of the New World launched the
transatlantic slave trade, at first in Indians and from west to east.
--James Rawley, with Stephen Behrendt, <em>The Transatlantic Slave Trade</em><br />

Immigration activists repeated named Obama the "<a href="http://www.npr.org/2017/01/20/510799842/obama-leaves-office-as-deporter-in-chief">Deporter in Chief</a>." Were they right? Strictly speaking, <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2015/table39">yes</a>:
More human beings were deported under Obama than any other presidency
in history. Substantively, however, the critics were very wrong. Key
fact: <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/08/the_removalretu.html">U.S. immigration law</a> - and <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/08/deportations_st.html">U.S. immigration statistics</a> - makes a big distinction between full-blown deportations ("Removals") and "voluntarily" returning home under the <em>threat</em> of full-blown deportation ("Returns"). <br /><br />The distinction is not entirely cosmetic. If you re-enter after Removal, you face a serious risk of <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2014/11/imprisoning_imm.html">federal jail time</a> if you're caught. If you re-enter after a mere Return, you generally don't. But Return is still <em>almost</em>
as bad as Removal, since both exile you from the country where you
prefer to reside. Since I've previously suggested that we should count
each Return as 85% of a Removal, I've constructed a "Deportation Index"
equal to Removals + .85*Returns to capture the substance of U.S.
immigration policy. Check out the numbers:</div>

<div class="article-body-text">
Recently, Harvard political theorist Danielle Allen wrote in the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-most-important-phrase-in-the-pledge-of-allegiance/2017/02/13/a9417d6c-f20a-11e6-8d72-263470bf0401_story.html?utm_term=.0536299b4bd8"><em>Washington Post</em></a> about “The most important phrase in the Pledge of Allegiance”—“with liberty and justice for all.”<br />
Allen recognizes that justice requires “equality before the law” and
that “freedom is freedom only when it is for everyone.” But she confuses
democracy with liberty, which is very different. She also replaces the
traditional meaning of justice (“Giving each his own”) with an
inconsistent version of “social justice.” And the two primary examples
she cites, rights to education and health care, are inconsistent with
both liberty for all and justice for all.<br />

The tax-and-transfer welfare state is in deep trouble. I <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/trump-entitlements-and-americas-potential-greek-future/">explained last year</a> that the United States faces a very serious long-run challenge.<br />
<blockquote>
Many of our entitlement programs were created based on the assumption
that we would always have an expanding population, as represented by a
population pyramid. …however, we’ve seen major changes in demographic
trends, including longer lifespans and falling birthrates. The
combination of these two factors means that our population pyramid is
slowly, but surely, turning into a <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/08/26/in-one-image-everything-you-need-to-know-about-americas-demographic-challenge/" target="_blank">population cylinder</a>. …this looming shift in America’s population profile means massive amounts of <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/the-slow-motion-train-wreck-of-entitlement-programs/" target="_blank">red ink</a> as the baby boom generation moves into full retirement.</blockquote>

<strong>LET THEM WORK</strong><br />
<br />
<blockquote>
In essence, we have seen the rise of a large class of
"zero marginal product workers," to coin a term. Their productivity may
not be literally zero, but it is lower than the cost of training,
employing, and insuring them. That is why labor is hurting but capital
is doing fine; dumping these employees is tough for the workers
themselves -- and arguably bad for society at large -- but it simply
doesn't damage profits much. It's a cold, hard reality, and one that we
will have to deal with, one way or another.</blockquote>

Adam Davidson has a very nice New York Times Magazine article, "<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/29/magazine/debunking-the-myth-of-the-job-stealing-immigrant.html">Debunking the Myth of the Job-Stealing Immigrant</a>", in favor of "radically open borders."<br />
<br />
Here's how a top professional journalist and writer puts together the central argument, so much more cleanly than I can do it:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
So why don’t we open up? </blockquote>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><blockquote class="tr_bq">
The chief logical mistake we make is something called the Lump of Labor
Fallacy: the erroneous notion that there is only so much work to be done
and that no one can get a job without taking one from someone else.
It’s an understandable assumption. After all, with other types of market
transactions, when the supply goes up, the price falls. If there were
suddenly a whole lot more oranges, we’d expect the price of oranges to
fall or the number of oranges that went uneaten to surge.

I did an <a href="http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2016/09/john_cochrane_o.html" target="_blank">EconTalk Podcast</a>
with Russ Roberts. The general subject is economic growth, the reasons
it seems to be slipping away from us and policies (or non-policies) that
might help.<br />
<br />
As in other recent projects (<a href="http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/john.cochrane/research/papers/cochrane_growth.pdf" target="_blank">growth essay</a>, <a href="http://johnhcochrane.blogspot.com/2016/09/testimony-2.html" target="_blank">testimony</a>)
I'm trying to synthesize, and also to find policies and ways to talk
about them that avoid the stale left-right debate, where people just
shout base-pleasing spin ever louder. "You're a tax and spend socialist"
"You just want tax cuts for your rich buddies" is getting about as far
as "You always leave your socks on the floor" "Well, you spend the whole
day on the phone to your mother." <br />
<br />
We did this as an interview before a live audience, at a Chicago Booth
alumni event held at Hoover, so it's a bit lighter than the usual
EconTalk. This kind of thought helps the synthesis process a lot for
me. Russ' pointed questions make me think, as did the audience in
follow up Q&A (not recorded). Plus, it was fun.<br />

A number of people have asked me to comment on a new paper by <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2920188"><strong>Jonathan Rothwell</strong></a>, which criticizes a study by Autor, Dorn and Hanson (ADH) on the impact of Chinese imports on the US job market.<br />
<blockquote>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I conclude that the economic losses from
trade are not as severe as the economics literature currently implies.
Workers in the most import-exposed sectors face a risk of layoff and
unemployment that is comparable to workers in other sectors, where
competition comes almost exclusively from domestic businesses. While it
is likely that less import competition would further lower the risk of
displacement and boost wages for manufacturing workers, less competition
would likely lead to a reduction in the ratio of product quality to
price and a drop in consumer welfare. I accept the Autor et al. (2014)
finding that import competition lowers wages for U.S. workers in the
affected industries — but even still, I find that workers in the
manufacturing sector continue to earn a sizable wage premium compared to
those with similar experience and education levels in other sectors. </span></div>

"Greed is good." After a few years in economics, the goodness of greed
seems like common sense. But it's not. In a randomly selected social
environment, greed is brutal. If you're carrying a bag of gold and meet
a well-armed stranger in a remote jungle, you wouldn't say, "As long as
he's greedy, I have nothing to worry about." The knowledge that
Nigerian spammers are greedy doesn't incline you to send them your
money. If you were looking for a caretaker for your elderly mother,
discovering that a job candidate is "extremely greedy" would be a strong
mark against him. As Marge Gunderson sadly muses at the end of <a href="https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Fargo_%28film%29"><i>Fargo</i></a>, "So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was
your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd.
And for what? For a little bit of money. There's more to life than a
little money, you know. Don't you know that?" <br /><br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has
reintroduced an Obamacare repeal bill that passed both houses of
Congress in 2015, highlighting conservatives’ dissatisfaction with
Republican leadership’s new bill to replace the health care law.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Paul stressed that the language is
the same as the repeal legislation that Republicans in the House and
Senate passed and sent to President Obama, which he vetoed in January
2016.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Republican Party is unified on Obamacare repeal,” Paul said in a prepared statement Thursday, adding:</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“We can honor our promise right away
by passing the same language we acted on in the last Congress. Then, we
can have a separate vote on replacement legislation that will deliver
lower costs, better care, and greater access to the American people.</span><br />

Another day, another penny drops about
the effects of Brexit. It seems it could cause low-end wages in Britain
to rise. And we can’t have that, can we?</div>

Their HR boss, Andrea Wareham, told the House of Lords Economic Affairs
Committee than hardly any Brits ever wanted to work in the sandwich
chain. Instead, they had to hire from some 110 nationalities, 65 per
cent of them from the EU. Brexit would cut off access to that source of
labour.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable">
Ms Wareham also told us all that she could
not fill her vacancies if she were only to hire Brits. She added: “I
actually don’t think increasing pay would do the trick.”</div>

Beneath
the cartoonish histrionics, Donald Trump’s presidency already matters.
Indeed, it is the mirror image of his predecessor’s, the second part of a
drama entitled “What does being American mean?”</div>
<div class="m_-4701756721234338250gmail-p2 selectionShareable">
Barack
Obama offered one, impeccably liberal, answer to that question; Donald
Trump offers another. One that is visceral, not intellectual; nativist,
not universal. This is the real struggle at the heart of Trump’s
presidency – and it is one that will have spillover effects elsewhere,
not least in the United Kingdom.</div>
<div class="m_-4701756721234338250gmail-p2 selectionShareable">
Beneath the
bluster of “Make America Great Again” – that being but a muscular riff
on a tried-and-tested campaign formula – there lies something vastly
more essential. It is the idea that, as Steve Bannon, Trump’s most
interesting adviser, has put it, the United States is “a nation with a
culture”, and a very particular culture at that: initially Anglo-Saxon
and Protestant, now more generally Judeo-Christian.</div>

Since around the
time of the presidential election in November, the U.S. media has taken a
hard look at its tumultuous love affair with WikiLeaks. News
organizations had lapped up the documents that the site was churning
out: first, thousands of emails from the Democratic National Committee,
then thousands more from the personal Gmail account of Hillary Clinton’s
campaign manager, John Podesta.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The U.S. intelligence
community now says the emails were stolen by Russian hackers and passed
along to WikiLeaks for publication, an allegation Assange continues to
deny. As the source of the leaked information came into focus, some news
organizations began to rethink their eager participation in amplifying
it. “Every major publication, including <em>The [New York] Times,</em>
published multiple stories citing the DNC and Podesta emails posted by
WikiLeaks, becoming a de facto instrument of Russian intelligence,” the <em>Times</em> wrote in <a data-omni-click="r'article',r'link',r'0',r'518832'" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/13/us/politics/russia-hack-election-dnc.html">a detailed postmortem</a> of Russia’s meddling around the U.S. election.</div>

<a href="http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks01/0100011h.html">Orwell's Animal Farm</a> parodies Soviet propaganda:<br />
<blockquote>
On Sunday mornings Squealer, holding down a long strip of
paper with his trotter, would read out to them lists of figures proving
that the production of every class of foodstuff had increased by two
hundred per cent, three hundred per cent, or five hundred per cent, as
the case might be. The animals saw no reason to disbelieve him,
especially as they could no longer remember very clearly what conditions
had been like before the Rebellion. All the same, there were days when
they felt that they would sooner have had less figures and more food.</blockquote>

How many people did Castro murder? The authoritative <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Black-Book-Communism-Crimes-Repression/dp/0674076087/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480261335&sr=1-1&keywords=black+book+of+communism#reader_0674076087">Black Book of Communism</a> blames him for 15-17,000 executions. <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB113590852154334404">More speculative estimates</a>
put the blood of another 80,000 Cubans on his hands - everyone who
perished trying to flee his doleful paradise. And the man was guilty of
many other evils.<br />
Still, by the <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/02/maos_great_fami.html">bloody</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bloodlands-Europe-Between-Hitler-Stalin/dp/0465002390/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1287721353&sr=1-1">standards</a> of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gulag-History-Anne-Applebaum/dp/1400034094/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480263054&sr=1-1&keywords=gulag">Communist</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pol-Pot-Regime-Genocide-Cambodia/dp/0300144342/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480263091&sr=1-4&keywords=khmer+rouge">dictators</a>, Castro's rule was mild. Castro's Cuba doesn't even look like the biggest charnel house in modern Latin America. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemalan_Civil_War">Guatemalan Civil War</a>
(1960-1996) probably claimed more innocent lives. Indeed, multiple
U.S. Presidents have killed more civilians than Castro - though of
course they <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2014/03/the_worst_they.html">had the power to murder vastly more</a>. Why then should we dwell on the horrors of Castroism - or make a point of dancing on Fidel's grave?<br />
Here's why: Because Castro is a symbol of larger evils - <a href="http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Communism.html">evils that claimed many millions of lives</a>
- and could do so again. Castro symbolizes the idea that backwards
countries can and should take the following path to modernity:<br />

When I was first learning economics, I was surprised by how
pro-communist many economics textbooks were. I don't mean, of course,
that any economics textbook ever said, "Communism is good." What I mean,
rather, is that textbooks were very positive relative to communism's
historical record. Indeed, many seemed deeply ignorant of actual
communism, basing their assessment on second-hand information about
communists' stated intentions, plus a few anecdotes about
inefficiencies. Many textbook authors were, in a phrase, communist
dupes: Non-communists who believe and spread a radically overoptimistic
image of communism.<br />
At least that's what my admittedly flawed memory says.<br />

Institute (by the way, “liberal” in Europe means pro-market or “<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/04/30/is-capitalism-a-dirty-word-and-liberal-a-good-word/">classical liberal</a>“).<br />
<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/tax-oppression-index-ranks-america-in-bottom-half-of-industrialized-nations/"><img alt="" class="alignright " height="211" src="https://i1.wp.com/freedomandprosperity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Bessard-2009-Index.jpg" width="243" /></a>Pierre
ranked the then-30 member nations of the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development based on their tax burdens, their quality of
governance, and their protection of financial privacy.<br />
Switzerland was the top-ranked nation, followed by Luxembourg, Austria, and Canada.<br />
Italy and Turkey were tied for last place, followed by Poland, Mexico, and Germany.<br />
The United States, I’m ashamed to say, was in the bottom half. Our
tax burden was (and still is) generally lower than Europe, but there’s
nothing special about our quality of governance compared to other
developed nations, and we definitely don’t allow privacy for our
citizens (though we’re <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2013/08/03/america-is-a-tax-haven-and-thats-a-very-good-thing/">a good haven for foreigners</a>).<br />
Pierre’s publication was so helpful that I’ve asked him several times to release an updated version.<br />
I don’t know if it’s because of my nagging, but the good news is that
he’s in the final stages of putting together a new Tax Oppression
Index. He just presented his findings at <a href="http://goethalsconsulting.com/pathways/">a conference in Panama</a>.<br />

DAN MITCHELL<br /> </div>
</div>
When I debate one of my leftist friends about deficits, it’s
often a strange experience because none of us actually care that much
about red ink.<br />
I’m motivated instead by a desire to shrink the burden of government spending, so I argue for <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2017/01/25/new-cbo-numbers-and-the-simple-formula-for-good-fiscal-policy-part-i/">spending restraint</a> rather than tax hikes that would “<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/do-tax-cuts-starve-the-beast/">feed the beast</a>.”<br />
And folks on the left want bigger government, so they argue<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/04/07/the-golden-rule-of-spending-restraint/"><img alt="" class="alignright " height="186" src="https://danieljmitchell.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/golden-rule-examples.jpg?w=262&h=186" width="262" /></a> for tax hikes to <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/02/27/higher-taxes-are-a-recipe-for-higher-spending-not-lower-debt/">enable more spending and redistribution</a>.<br />
I feel that I have an advantage in these debates, though, because I share <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/04/07/the-golden-rule-of-spending-restraint/">my table</a> of nations that have achieved great results when nominal spending grows by less than 2 percent per year.<br />
The table shows that nations practicing spending restraint for
multi-year periods reduce the problem of excessive government and also
address the <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/the-problem-is-spending-not-deficits/">symptom of red ink</a>.<br />

<div class="entry">
The famous French diplomat <a href="https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Charles_Maurice_de_Talleyrand-P%C3%A9rigord">Charles Maurice de Talleyrand</a> supposedly said that a weakness of <a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91bvoW6Q5FL.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignright " height="182" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91bvoW6Q5FL.jpg" width="121" /></a><br />
the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Bourbon">Bourbon monarchs</a> was that they learned nothing and forgot nothing.<br />
If so, the genetic descendants of the Bourbons are now in charge of Europe.<br />
But before explaining why, let’s first establish that Europe is in trouble. I’ve <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/europes-dismal-future/">made that point</a> (<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/07/23/please-hillary-dont-make-america-more-like-europe/">many times</a>) that the continent is in trouble because of <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/03/08/demographics-entitlements-europes-doom/">statism and demographic change</a>.<br />
What’s far more noteworthy, though, is that even the Europeans are
waking up to the fact that the continent faces a very grim future.<br />
For instance, the bureaucrats in Brussels are pessimistic, as <a href="https://euobserver.com/economic/135855">reported</a> by the <em>EU Observer</em>.<br />
<blockquote>
…the report warns of a longer term risk for the EU
economy. “As expectations of low growth ahead affect investment today,
there is potential for a vicious circle,” the commission’s director
general for economic and financial affairs writes in the report’s
foreword. “In short, the projected pace of GDP growth may not be
sufficient to prevent the cyclical impact of the crisis from becoming
permanent (hysteresis), ” Marco Buti writes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>
By the time Christopher Columbus appeared in Lisbon in 1477
an Old World slave trade was thriving in the eastern Atlantic between
West Africa, the Atlantic islands, and Europe. In his famous letter on
his first voyage he informed Ferdinand and Isabella he could, with their
help, give them "slaves, as many as they shall order." On his second
voyage Columbus loaded five hundred Indian slaves aboard returning
caravels. On the last leg of his voyage to Cadiz, "about two hundred of
these Indians died," a passenger recorded, appending, "We cast them into
the sea." In this manner the discoverer of the New World launched the
transatlantic slave trade, at first in Indians and from west to east.
--James Rawley, with Stephen Behrendt, <em>The Transatlantic Slave Trade</em><br />

Immigration activists repeated named Obama the "<a href="http://www.npr.org/2017/01/20/510799842/obama-leaves-office-as-deporter-in-chief">Deporter in Chief</a>." Were they right? Strictly speaking, <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2015/table39">yes</a>:
More human beings were deported under Obama than any other presidency
in history. Substantively, however, the critics were very wrong. Key
fact: <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/08/the_removalretu.html">U.S. immigration law</a> - and <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/08/deportations_st.html">U.S. immigration statistics</a> - makes a big distinction between full-blown deportations ("Removals") and "voluntarily" returning home under the <em>threat</em> of full-blown deportation ("Returns"). <br /><br />The distinction is not entirely cosmetic. If you re-enter after Removal, you face a serious risk of <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2014/11/imprisoning_imm.html">federal jail time</a> if you're caught. If you re-enter after a mere Return, you generally don't. But Return is still <em>almost</em>
as bad as Removal, since both exile you from the country where you
prefer to reside. Since I've previously suggested that we should count
each Return as 85% of a Removal, I've constructed a "Deportation Index"
equal to Removals + .85*Returns to capture the substance of U.S.
immigration policy. Check out the numbers:</div>

<div class="article-body-text">
Recently, Harvard political theorist Danielle Allen wrote in the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-most-important-phrase-in-the-pledge-of-allegiance/2017/02/13/a9417d6c-f20a-11e6-8d72-263470bf0401_story.html?utm_term=.0536299b4bd8"><em>Washington Post</em></a> about “The most important phrase in the Pledge of Allegiance”—“with liberty and justice for all.”<br />
Allen recognizes that justice requires “equality before the law” and
that “freedom is freedom only when it is for everyone.” But she confuses
democracy with liberty, which is very different. She also replaces the
traditional meaning of justice (“Giving each his own”) with an
inconsistent version of “social justice.” And the two primary examples
she cites, rights to education and health care, are inconsistent with
both liberty for all and justice for all.<br />

The tax-and-transfer welfare state is in deep trouble. I <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/trump-entitlements-and-americas-potential-greek-future/">explained last year</a> that the United States faces a very serious long-run challenge.<br />
<blockquote>
Many of our entitlement programs were created based on the assumption
that we would always have an expanding population, as represented by a
population pyramid. …however, we’ve seen major changes in demographic
trends, including longer lifespans and falling birthrates. The
combination of these two factors means that our population pyramid is
slowly, but surely, turning into a <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/08/26/in-one-image-everything-you-need-to-know-about-americas-demographic-challenge/" target="_blank">population cylinder</a>. …this looming shift in America’s population profile means massive amounts of <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/the-slow-motion-train-wreck-of-entitlement-programs/" target="_blank">red ink</a> as the baby boom generation moves into full retirement.</blockquote>

<strong>LET THEM WORK</strong><br />
<br />
<blockquote>
In essence, we have seen the rise of a large class of
"zero marginal product workers," to coin a term. Their productivity may
not be literally zero, but it is lower than the cost of training,
employing, and insuring them. That is why labor is hurting but capital
is doing fine; dumping these employees is tough for the workers
themselves -- and arguably bad for society at large -- but it simply
doesn't damage profits much. It's a cold, hard reality, and one that we
will have to deal with, one way or another.</blockquote>

Adam Davidson has a very nice New York Times Magazine article, "<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/29/magazine/debunking-the-myth-of-the-job-stealing-immigrant.html">Debunking the Myth of the Job-Stealing Immigrant</a>", in favor of "radically open borders."<br />
<br />
Here's how a top professional journalist and writer puts together the central argument, so much more cleanly than I can do it:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
So why don’t we open up? </blockquote>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><blockquote class="tr_bq">
The chief logical mistake we make is something called the Lump of Labor
Fallacy: the erroneous notion that there is only so much work to be done
and that no one can get a job without taking one from someone else.
It’s an understandable assumption. After all, with other types of market
transactions, when the supply goes up, the price falls. If there were
suddenly a whole lot more oranges, we’d expect the price of oranges to
fall or the number of oranges that went uneaten to surge.

I did an <a href="http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2016/09/john_cochrane_o.html" target="_blank">EconTalk Podcast</a>
with Russ Roberts. The general subject is economic growth, the reasons
it seems to be slipping away from us and policies (or non-policies) that
might help.<br />
<br />
As in other recent projects (<a href="http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/john.cochrane/research/papers/cochrane_growth.pdf" target="_blank">growth essay</a>, <a href="http://johnhcochrane.blogspot.com/2016/09/testimony-2.html" target="_blank">testimony</a>)
I'm trying to synthesize, and also to find policies and ways to talk
about them that avoid the stale left-right debate, where people just
shout base-pleasing spin ever louder. "You're a tax and spend socialist"
"You just want tax cuts for your rich buddies" is getting about as far
as "You always leave your socks on the floor" "Well, you spend the whole
day on the phone to your mother." <br />
<br />
We did this as an interview before a live audience, at a Chicago Booth
alumni event held at Hoover, so it's a bit lighter than the usual
EconTalk. This kind of thought helps the synthesis process a lot for
me. Russ' pointed questions make me think, as did the audience in
follow up Q&A (not recorded). Plus, it was fun.<br />

A number of people have asked me to comment on a new paper by <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2920188"><strong>Jonathan Rothwell</strong></a>, which criticizes a study by Autor, Dorn and Hanson (ADH) on the impact of Chinese imports on the US job market.<br />
<blockquote>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I conclude that the economic losses from
trade are not as severe as the economics literature currently implies.
Workers in the most import-exposed sectors face a risk of layoff and
unemployment that is comparable to workers in other sectors, where
competition comes almost exclusively from domestic businesses. While it
is likely that less import competition would further lower the risk of
displacement and boost wages for manufacturing workers, less competition
would likely lead to a reduction in the ratio of product quality to
price and a drop in consumer welfare. I accept the Autor et al. (2014)
finding that import competition lowers wages for U.S. workers in the
affected industries — but even still, I find that workers in the
manufacturing sector continue to earn a sizable wage premium compared to
those with similar experience and education levels in other sectors. </span></div>

"Greed is good." After a few years in economics, the goodness of greed
seems like common sense. But it's not. In a randomly selected social
environment, greed is brutal. If you're carrying a bag of gold and meet
a well-armed stranger in a remote jungle, you wouldn't say, "As long as
he's greedy, I have nothing to worry about." The knowledge that
Nigerian spammers are greedy doesn't incline you to send them your
money. If you were looking for a caretaker for your elderly mother,
discovering that a job candidate is "extremely greedy" would be a strong
mark against him. As Marge Gunderson sadly muses at the end of <a href="https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Fargo_%28film%29"><i>Fargo</i></a>, "So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was
your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd.
And for what? For a little bit of money. There's more to life than a
little money, you know. Don't you know that?" <br /><br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has
reintroduced an Obamacare repeal bill that passed both houses of
Congress in 2015, highlighting conservatives’ dissatisfaction with
Republican leadership’s new bill to replace the health care law.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Paul stressed that the language is
the same as the repeal legislation that Republicans in the House and
Senate passed and sent to President Obama, which he vetoed in January
2016.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Republican Party is unified on Obamacare repeal,” Paul said in a prepared statement Thursday, adding:</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“We can honor our promise right away
by passing the same language we acted on in the last Congress. Then, we
can have a separate vote on replacement legislation that will deliver
lower costs, better care, and greater access to the American people.</span><br />

Another day, another penny drops about
the effects of Brexit. It seems it could cause low-end wages in Britain
to rise. And we can’t have that, can we?</div>
<div class="selectionShareable">
Today’s <a href="http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/pret-a-manger-faces-staffing-crisis-because-of-brexit-a3485096.html" target="_blank">outbreak of indignation over this comes courtesy of Pret A Manger</a>.
Their HR boss, Andrea Wareham, told the House of Lords Economic Affairs
Committee than hardly any Brits ever wanted to work in the sandwich
chain. Instead, they had to hire from some 110 nationalities, 65 per
cent of them from the EU. Brexit would cut off access to that source of
labour.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable">
Ms Wareham also told us all that she could
not fill her vacancies if she were only to hire Brits. She added: “I
actually don’t think increasing pay would do the trick.”</div>

Beneath
the cartoonish histrionics, Donald Trump’s presidency already matters.
Indeed, it is the mirror image of his predecessor’s, the second part of a
drama entitled “What does being American mean?”</div>
<div class="m_-4701756721234338250gmail-p2 selectionShareable">
Barack
Obama offered one, impeccably liberal, answer to that question; Donald
Trump offers another. One that is visceral, not intellectual; nativist,
not universal. This is the real struggle at the heart of Trump’s
presidency – and it is one that will have spillover effects elsewhere,
not least in the United Kingdom.</div>
<div class="m_-4701756721234338250gmail-p2 selectionShareable">
Beneath the
bluster of “Make America Great Again” – that being but a muscular riff
on a tried-and-tested campaign formula – there lies something vastly
more essential. It is the idea that, as Steve Bannon, Trump’s most
interesting adviser, has put it, the United States is “a nation with a
culture”, and a very particular culture at that: initially Anglo-Saxon
and Protestant, now more generally Judeo-Christian.</div>

Since around the
time of the presidential election in November, the U.S. media has taken a
hard look at its tumultuous love affair with WikiLeaks. News
organizations had lapped up the documents that the site was churning
out: first, thousands of emails from the Democratic National Committee,
then thousands more from the personal Gmail account of Hillary Clinton’s
campaign manager, John Podesta.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The U.S. intelligence
community now says the emails were stolen by Russian hackers and passed
along to WikiLeaks for publication, an allegation Assange continues to
deny. As the source of the leaked information came into focus, some news
organizations began to rethink their eager participation in amplifying
it. “Every major publication, including <em>The [New York] Times,</em>
published multiple stories citing the DNC and Podesta emails posted by
WikiLeaks, becoming a de facto instrument of Russian intelligence,” the <em>Times</em> wrote in <a data-omni-click="r'article',r'link',r'0',r'518832'" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/13/us/politics/russia-hack-election-dnc.html">a detailed postmortem</a> of Russia’s meddling around the U.S. election.</div>

<a href="http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks01/0100011h.html">Orwell's Animal Farm</a> parodies Soviet propaganda:<br />
<blockquote>
On Sunday mornings Squealer, holding down a long strip of
paper with his trotter, would read out to them lists of figures proving
that the production of every class of foodstuff had increased by two
hundred per cent, three hundred per cent, or five hundred per cent, as
the case might be. The animals saw no reason to disbelieve him,
especially as they could no longer remember very clearly what conditions
had been like before the Rebellion. All the same, there were days when
they felt that they would sooner have had less figures and more food.</blockquote>

How many people did Castro murder? The authoritative <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Black-Book-Communism-Crimes-Repression/dp/0674076087/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480261335&sr=1-1&keywords=black+book+of+communism#reader_0674076087">Black Book of Communism</a> blames him for 15-17,000 executions. <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB113590852154334404">More speculative estimates</a>
put the blood of another 80,000 Cubans on his hands - everyone who
perished trying to flee his doleful paradise. And the man was guilty of
many other evils.<br />
Still, by the <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/02/maos_great_fami.html">bloody</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bloodlands-Europe-Between-Hitler-Stalin/dp/0465002390/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1287721353&sr=1-1">standards</a> of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gulag-History-Anne-Applebaum/dp/1400034094/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480263054&sr=1-1&keywords=gulag">Communist</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pol-Pot-Regime-Genocide-Cambodia/dp/0300144342/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480263091&sr=1-4&keywords=khmer+rouge">dictators</a>, Castro's rule was mild. Castro's Cuba doesn't even look like the biggest charnel house in modern Latin America. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemalan_Civil_War">Guatemalan Civil War</a>
(1960-1996) probably claimed more innocent lives. Indeed, multiple
U.S. Presidents have killed more civilians than Castro - though of
course they <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2014/03/the_worst_they.html">had the power to murder vastly more</a>. Why then should we dwell on the horrors of Castroism - or make a point of dancing on Fidel's grave?<br />
Here's why: Because Castro is a symbol of larger evils - <a href="http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Communism.html">evils that claimed many millions of lives</a>
- and could do so again. Castro symbolizes the idea that backwards
countries can and should take the following path to modernity:<br />

When I was first learning economics, I was surprised by how
pro-communist many economics textbooks were. I don't mean, of course,
that any economics textbook ever said, "Communism is good." What I mean,
rather, is that textbooks were very positive relative to communism's
historical record. Indeed, many seemed deeply ignorant of actual
communism, basing their assessment on second-hand information about
communists' stated intentions, plus a few anecdotes about
inefficiencies. Many textbook authors were, in a phrase, communist
dupes: Non-communists who believe and spread a radically overoptimistic
image of communism.<br />
At least that's what my admittedly flawed memory says.<br />

Back in 2009, I <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/tax-oppression-index-ranks-america-in-bottom-half-of-industrialized-nations/">shared the results</a>
of a very helpful study by Pierre Bessard of Switzerland’s Liberal
Institute (by the way, “liberal” in Europe means pro-market or “<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/04/30/is-capitalism-a-dirty-word-and-liberal-a-good-word/">classical liberal</a>“).<br />
<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/tax-oppression-index-ranks-america-in-bottom-half-of-industrialized-nations/"><img alt="" class="alignright " height="211" src="https://i1.wp.com/freedomandprosperity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Bessard-2009-Index.jpg" width="243" /></a>Pierre
ranked the then-30 member nations of the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development based on their tax burdens, their quality of
governance, and their protection of financial privacy.<br />
Switzerland was the top-ranked nation, followed by Luxembourg, Austria, and Canada.<br />
Italy and Turkey were tied for last place, followed by Poland, Mexico, and Germany.<br />
The United States, I’m ashamed to say, was in the bottom half. Our
tax burden was (and still is) generally lower than Europe, but there’s
nothing special about our quality of governance compared to other
developed nations, and we definitely don’t allow privacy for our
citizens (though we’re <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2013/08/03/america-is-a-tax-haven-and-thats-a-very-good-thing/">a good haven for foreigners</a>).<br />
Pierre’s publication was so helpful that I’ve asked him several times to release an updated version.<br />
I don’t know if it’s because of my nagging, but the good news is that
he’s in the final stages of putting together a new Tax Oppression
Index. He just presented his findings at <a href="http://goethalsconsulting.com/pathways/">a conference in Panama</a>.<br />

When I debate one of my leftist friends about deficits, it’s
often a strange experience because none of us actually care that much
about red ink.<br />
I’m motivated instead by a desire to shrink the burden of government spending, so I argue for <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2017/01/25/new-cbo-numbers-and-the-simple-formula-for-good-fiscal-policy-part-i/">spending restraint</a> rather than tax hikes that would “<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/do-tax-cuts-starve-the-beast/">feed the beast</a>.”<br />
And folks on the left want bigger government, so they argue<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/04/07/the-golden-rule-of-spending-restraint/"><img alt="" class="alignright " height="186" src="https://danieljmitchell.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/golden-rule-examples.jpg?w=262&h=186" width="262" /></a> for tax hikes to <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/02/27/higher-taxes-are-a-recipe-for-higher-spending-not-lower-debt/">enable more spending and redistribution</a>.<br />
I feel that I have an advantage in these debates, though, because I share <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/04/07/the-golden-rule-of-spending-restraint/">my table</a> of nations that have achieved great results when nominal spending grows by less than 2 percent per year.<br />
The table shows that nations practicing spending restraint for
multi-year periods reduce the problem of excessive government and also
address the <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/the-problem-is-spending-not-deficits/">symptom of red ink</a>.<br />

<div class="entry">
The famous French diplomat <a href="https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Charles_Maurice_de_Talleyrand-P%C3%A9rigord">Charles Maurice de Talleyrand</a> supposedly said that a weakness of <a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91bvoW6Q5FL.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignright " height="182" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91bvoW6Q5FL.jpg" width="121" /></a><br />
the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Bourbon">Bourbon monarchs</a> was that they learned nothing and forgot nothing.<br />
If so, the genetic descendants of the Bourbons are now in charge of Europe.<br />
But before explaining why, let’s first establish that Europe is in trouble. I’ve <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/europes-dismal-future/">made that point</a> (<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/07/23/please-hillary-dont-make-america-more-like-europe/">many times</a>) that the continent is in trouble because of <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/03/08/demographics-entitlements-europes-doom/">statism and demographic change</a>.<br />
What’s far more noteworthy, though, is that even the Europeans are
waking up to the fact that the continent faces a very grim future.<br />
For instance, the bureaucrats in Brussels are pessimistic, as <a href="https://euobserver.com/economic/135855">reported</a> by the <em>EU Observer</em>.<br />
<blockquote>
…the report warns of a longer term risk for the EU
economy. “As expectations of low growth ahead affect investment today,
there is potential for a vicious circle,” the commission’s director
general for economic and financial affairs writes in the report’s
foreword. “In short, the projected pace of GDP growth may not be
sufficient to prevent the cyclical impact of the crisis from becoming
permanent (hysteresis), ” Marco Buti writes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>
By the time Christopher Columbus appeared in Lisbon in 1477
an Old World slave trade was thriving in the eastern Atlantic between
West Africa, the Atlantic islands, and Europe. In his famous letter on
his first voyage he informed Ferdinand and Isabella he could, with their
help, give them "slaves, as many as they shall order." On his second
voyage Columbus loaded five hundred Indian slaves aboard returning
caravels. On the last leg of his voyage to Cadiz, "about two hundred of
these Indians died," a passenger recorded, appending, "We cast them into
the sea." In this manner the discoverer of the New World launched the
transatlantic slave trade, at first in Indians and from west to east.
--James Rawley, with Stephen Behrendt, <em>The Transatlantic Slave Trade</em><br />

Immigration activists repeated named Obama the "<a href="http://www.npr.org/2017/01/20/510799842/obama-leaves-office-as-deporter-in-chief">Deporter in Chief</a>." Were they right? Strictly speaking, <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2015/table39">yes</a>:
More human beings were deported under Obama than any other presidency
in history. Substantively, however, the critics were very wrong. Key
fact: <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/08/the_removalretu.html">U.S. immigration law</a> - and <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/08/deportations_st.html">U.S. immigration statistics</a> - makes a big distinction between full-blown deportations ("Removals") and "voluntarily" returning home under the <em>threat</em> of full-blown deportation ("Returns"). <br /><br />The distinction is not entirely cosmetic. If you re-enter after Removal, you face a serious risk of <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2014/11/imprisoning_imm.html">federal jail time</a> if you're caught. If you re-enter after a mere Return, you generally don't. But Return is still <em>almost</em>
as bad as Removal, since both exile you from the country where you
prefer to reside. Since I've previously suggested that we should count
each Return as 85% of a Removal, I've constructed a "Deportation Index"
equal to Removals + .85*Returns to capture the substance of U.S.
immigration policy. Check out the numbers:</div>

<div class="article-body-text">
Recently, Harvard political theorist Danielle Allen wrote in the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-most-important-phrase-in-the-pledge-of-allegiance/2017/02/13/a9417d6c-f20a-11e6-8d72-263470bf0401_story.html?utm_term=.0536299b4bd8"><em>Washington Post</em></a> about “The most important phrase in the Pledge of Allegiance”—“with liberty and justice for all.”<br />
Allen recognizes that justice requires “equality before the law” and
that “freedom is freedom only when it is for everyone.” But she confuses
democracy with liberty, which is very different. She also replaces the
traditional meaning of justice (“Giving each his own”) with an
inconsistent version of “social justice.” And the two primary examples
she cites, rights to education and health care, are inconsistent with
both liberty for all and justice for all.<br />

The tax-and-transfer welfare state is in deep trouble. I <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/trump-entitlements-and-americas-potential-greek-future/">explained last year</a> that the United States faces a very serious long-run challenge.<br />
<blockquote>
Many of our entitlement programs were created based on the assumption
that we would always have an expanding population, as represented by a
population pyramid. …however, we’ve seen major changes in demographic
trends, including longer lifespans and falling birthrates. The
combination of these two factors means that our population pyramid is
slowly, but surely, turning into a <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/08/26/in-one-image-everything-you-need-to-know-about-americas-demographic-challenge/" target="_blank">population cylinder</a>. …this looming shift in America’s population profile means massive amounts of <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/the-slow-motion-train-wreck-of-entitlement-programs/" target="_blank">red ink</a> as the baby boom generation moves into full retirement.</blockquote>

<strong>LET THEM WORK</strong><br />
<br />
<blockquote>
In essence, we have seen the rise of a large class of
"zero marginal product workers," to coin a term. Their productivity may
not be literally zero, but it is lower than the cost of training,
employing, and insuring them. That is why labor is hurting but capital
is doing fine; dumping these employees is tough for the workers
themselves -- and arguably bad for society at large -- but it simply
doesn't damage profits much. It's a cold, hard reality, and one that we
will have to deal with, one way or another.</blockquote>

Adam Davidson has a very nice New York Times Magazine article, "<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/29/magazine/debunking-the-myth-of-the-job-stealing-immigrant.html">Debunking the Myth of the Job-Stealing Immigrant</a>", in favor of "radically open borders."<br />
<br />
Here's how a top professional journalist and writer puts together the central argument, so much more cleanly than I can do it:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
So why don’t we open up? </blockquote>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><blockquote class="tr_bq">
The chief logical mistake we make is something called the Lump of Labor
Fallacy: the erroneous notion that there is only so much work to be done
and that no one can get a job without taking one from someone else.
It’s an understandable assumption. After all, with other types of market
transactions, when the supply goes up, the price falls. If there were
suddenly a whole lot more oranges, we’d expect the price of oranges to
fall or the number of oranges that went uneaten to surge.

I did an <a href="http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2016/09/john_cochrane_o.html" target="_blank">EconTalk Podcast</a>
with Russ Roberts. The general subject is economic growth, the reasons
it seems to be slipping away from us and policies (or non-policies) that
might help.<br />
<br />
As in other recent projects (<a href="http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/john.cochrane/research/papers/cochrane_growth.pdf" target="_blank">growth essay</a>, <a href="http://johnhcochrane.blogspot.com/2016/09/testimony-2.html" target="_blank">testimony</a>)
I'm trying to synthesize, and also to find policies and ways to talk
about them that avoid the stale left-right debate, where people just
shout base-pleasing spin ever louder. "You're a tax and spend socialist"
"You just want tax cuts for your rich buddies" is getting about as far
as "You always leave your socks on the floor" "Well, you spend the whole
day on the phone to your mother." <br />
<br />
We did this as an interview before a live audience, at a Chicago Booth
alumni event held at Hoover, so it's a bit lighter than the usual
EconTalk. This kind of thought helps the synthesis process a lot for
me. Russ' pointed questions make me think, as did the audience in
follow up Q&A (not recorded). Plus, it was fun.<br />

A number of people have asked me to comment on a new paper by <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2920188"><strong>Jonathan Rothwell</strong></a>, which criticizes a study by Autor, Dorn and Hanson (ADH) on the impact of Chinese imports on the US job market.<br />
<blockquote>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I conclude that the economic losses from
trade are not as severe as the economics literature currently implies.
Workers in the most import-exposed sectors face a risk of layoff and
unemployment that is comparable to workers in other sectors, where
competition comes almost exclusively from domestic businesses. While it
is likely that less import competition would further lower the risk of
displacement and boost wages for manufacturing workers, less competition
would likely lead to a reduction in the ratio of product quality to
price and a drop in consumer welfare. I accept the Autor et al. (2014)
finding that import competition lowers wages for U.S. workers in the
affected industries — but even still, I find that workers in the
manufacturing sector continue to earn a sizable wage premium compared to
those with similar experience and education levels in other sectors. </span></div>

"Greed is good." After a few years in economics, the goodness of greed
seems like common sense. But it's not. In a randomly selected social
environment, greed is brutal. If you're carrying a bag of gold and meet
a well-armed stranger in a remote jungle, you wouldn't say, "As long as
he's greedy, I have nothing to worry about." The knowledge that
Nigerian spammers are greedy doesn't incline you to send them your
money. If you were looking for a caretaker for your elderly mother,
discovering that a job candidate is "extremely greedy" would be a strong
mark against him. As Marge Gunderson sadly muses at the end of <a href="https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Fargo_%28film%29"><i>Fargo</i></a>, "So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was
your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd.
And for what? For a little bit of money. There's more to life than a
little money, you know. Don't you know that?" <br /><br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has
reintroduced an Obamacare repeal bill that passed both houses of
Congress in 2015, highlighting conservatives’ dissatisfaction with
Republican leadership’s new bill to replace the health care law.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Paul stressed that the language is
the same as the repeal legislation that Republicans in the House and
Senate passed and sent to President Obama, which he vetoed in January
2016.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Republican Party is unified on Obamacare repeal,” Paul said in a prepared statement Thursday, adding:</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“We can honor our promise right away
by passing the same language we acted on in the last Congress. Then, we
can have a separate vote on replacement legislation that will deliver
lower costs, better care, and greater access to the American people.</span><br />

Another day, another penny drops about
the effects of Brexit. It seems it could cause low-end wages in Britain
to rise. And we can’t have that, can we?</div>
<div class="selectionShareable">
Today’s <a href="http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/pret-a-manger-faces-staffing-crisis-because-of-brexit-a3485096.html" target="_blank">outbreak of indignation over this comes courtesy of Pret A Manger</a>.
Their HR boss, Andrea Wareham, told the House of Lords Economic Affairs
Committee than hardly any Brits ever wanted to work in the sandwich
chain. Instead, they had to hire from some 110 nationalities, 65 per
cent of them from the EU. Brexit would cut off access to that source of
labour.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable">
Ms Wareham also told us all that she could
not fill her vacancies if she were only to hire Brits. She added: “I
actually don’t think increasing pay would do the trick.”</div>

Beneath
the cartoonish histrionics, Donald Trump’s presidency already matters.
Indeed, it is the mirror image of his predecessor’s, the second part of a
drama entitled “What does being American mean?”</div>
<div class="m_-4701756721234338250gmail-p2 selectionShareable">
Barack
Obama offered one, impeccably liberal, answer to that question; Donald
Trump offers another. One that is visceral, not intellectual; nativist,
not universal. This is the real struggle at the heart of Trump’s
presidency – and it is one that will have spillover effects elsewhere,
not least in the United Kingdom.</div>
<div class="m_-4701756721234338250gmail-p2 selectionShareable">
Beneath the
bluster of “Make America Great Again” – that being but a muscular riff
on a tried-and-tested campaign formula – there lies something vastly
more essential. It is the idea that, as Steve Bannon, Trump’s most
interesting adviser, has put it, the United States is “a nation with a
culture”, and a very particular culture at that: initially Anglo-Saxon
and Protestant, now more generally Judeo-Christian.</div>

Since around the
time of the presidential election in November, the U.S. media has taken a
hard look at its tumultuous love affair with WikiLeaks. News
organizations had lapped up the documents that the site was churning
out: first, thousands of emails from the Democratic National Committee,
then thousands more from the personal Gmail account of Hillary Clinton’s
campaign manager, John Podesta.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The U.S. intelligence
community now says the emails were stolen by Russian hackers and passed
along to WikiLeaks for publication, an allegation Assange continues to
deny. As the source of the leaked information came into focus, some news
organizations began to rethink their eager participation in amplifying
it. “Every major publication, including <em>The [New York] Times,</em>
published multiple stories citing the DNC and Podesta emails posted by
WikiLeaks, becoming a de facto instrument of Russian intelligence,” the <em>Times</em> wrote in <a data-omni-click="r'article',r'link',r'0',r'518832'" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/13/us/politics/russia-hack-election-dnc.html">a detailed postmortem</a> of Russia’s meddling around the U.S. election.</div>

<blockquote>
On Sunday mornings Squealer, holding down a long strip of
paper with his trotter, would read out to them lists of figures proving
that the production of every class of foodstuff had increased by two
hundred per cent, three hundred per cent, or five hundred per cent, as
the case might be. The animals saw no reason to disbelieve him,
especially as they could no longer remember very clearly what conditions
had been like before the Rebellion. All the same, there were days when
they felt that they would sooner have had less figures and more food.</blockquote>

How many people did Castro murder? The authoritative <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Black-Book-Communism-Crimes-Repression/dp/0674076087/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480261335&sr=1-1&keywords=black+book+of+communism#reader_0674076087">Black Book of Communism</a> blames him for 15-17,000 executions. <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB113590852154334404">More speculative estimates</a>
put the blood of another 80,000 Cubans on his hands - everyone who
perished trying to flee his doleful paradise. And the man was guilty of
many other evils.<br />
Still, by the <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/02/maos_great_fami.html">bloody</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bloodlands-Europe-Between-Hitler-Stalin/dp/0465002390/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1287721353&sr=1-1">standards</a> of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gulag-History-Anne-Applebaum/dp/1400034094/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480263054&sr=1-1&keywords=gulag">Communist</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pol-Pot-Regime-Genocide-Cambodia/dp/0300144342/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480263091&sr=1-4&keywords=khmer+rouge">dictators</a>, Castro's rule was mild. Castro's Cuba doesn't even look like the biggest charnel house in modern Latin America. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemalan_Civil_War">Guatemalan Civil War</a>
(1960-1996) probably claimed more innocent lives. Indeed, multiple
U.S. Presidents have killed more civilians than Castro - though of
course they <a href="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2014/03/the_worst_they.html">had the power to murder vastly more</a>. Why then should we dwell on the horrors of Castroism - or make a point of dancing on Fidel's grave?<br />
Here's why: Because Castro is a symbol of larger evils - <a href="http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Communism.html">evils that claimed many millions of lives</a>
- and could do so again. Castro symbolizes the idea that backwards
countries can and should take the following path to modernity:<br />

When I was first learning economics, I was surprised by how
pro-communist many economics textbooks were. I don't mean, of course,
that any economics textbook ever said, "Communism is good." What I mean,
rather, is that textbooks were very positive relative to communism's
historical record. Indeed, many seemed deeply ignorant of actual
communism, basing their assessment on second-hand information about
communists' stated intentions, plus a few anecdotes about
inefficiencies. Many textbook authors were, in a phrase, communist
dupes: Non-communists who believe and spread a radically overoptimistic
image of communism.<br />
At least that's what my admittedly flawed memory says.<br />

Back in 2009, I <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/tax-oppression-index-ranks-america-in-bottom-half-of-industrialized-nations/">shared the results</a>
of a very helpful study by Pierre Bessard of Switzerland’s Liberal
Institute (by the way, “liberal” in Europe means pro-market or “<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/04/30/is-capitalism-a-dirty-word-and-liberal-a-good-word/">classical liberal</a>“).<br />
<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/tax-oppression-index-ranks-america-in-bottom-half-of-industrialized-nations/"><img alt="" class="alignright " height="211" src="https://i1.wp.com/freedomandprosperity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Bessard-2009-Index.jpg" width="243" /></a>Pierre
ranked the then-30 member nations of the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development based on their tax burdens, their quality of
governance, and their protection of financial privacy.<br />
Switzerland was the top-ranked nation, followed by Luxembourg, Austria, and Canada.<br />
Italy and Turkey were tied for last place, followed by Poland, Mexico, and Germany.<br />
The United States, I’m ashamed to say, was in the bottom half. Our
tax burden was (and still is) generally lower than Europe, but there’s
nothing special about our quality of governance compared to other
developed nations, and we definitely don’t allow privacy for our
citizens (though we’re <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2013/08/03/america-is-a-tax-haven-and-thats-a-very-good-thing/">a good haven for foreigners</a>).<br />
Pierre’s publication was so helpful that I’ve asked him several times to release an updated version.<br />
I don’t know if it’s because of my nagging, but the good news is that
he’s in the final stages of putting together a new Tax Oppression
Index. He just presented his findings at <a href="http://goethalsconsulting.com/pathways/">a conference in Panama</a>.<br />

When I debate one of my leftist friends about deficits, it’s
often a strange experience because none of us actually care that much
about red ink.<br />
I’m motivated instead by a desire to shrink the burden of government spending, so I argue for <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2017/01/25/new-cbo-numbers-and-the-simple-formula-for-good-fiscal-policy-part-i/">spending restraint</a> rather than tax hikes that would “<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/do-tax-cuts-starve-the-beast/">feed the beast</a>.”<br />
And folks on the left want bigger government, so they argue<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/04/07/the-golden-rule-of-spending-restraint/"><img alt="" class="alignright " height="186" src="https://danieljmitchell.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/golden-rule-examples.jpg?w=262&h=186" width="262" /></a> for tax hikes to <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/02/27/higher-taxes-are-a-recipe-for-higher-spending-not-lower-debt/">enable more spending and redistribution</a>.<br />
I feel that I have an advantage in these debates, though, because I share <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2014/04/07/the-golden-rule-of-spending-restraint/">my table</a> of nations that have achieved great results when nominal spending grows by less than 2 percent per year.<br />
The table shows that nations practicing spending restraint for
multi-year periods reduce the problem of excessive government and also
address the <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/the-problem-is-spending-not-deficits/">symptom of red ink</a>.<br />

<div class="entry">
The famous French diplomat <a href="https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Charles_Maurice_de_Talleyrand-P%C3%A9rigord">Charles Maurice de Talleyrand</a> supposedly said that a weakness of <a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91bvoW6Q5FL.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignright " height="182" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91bvoW6Q5FL.jpg" width="121" /></a><br />
the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Bourbon">Bourbon monarchs</a> was that they learned nothing and forgot nothing.<br />
If so, the genetic descendants of the Bourbons are now in charge of Europe.<br />
But before explaining why, let’s first establish that Europe is in trouble. I’ve <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/europes-dismal-future/">made that point</a> (<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/07/23/please-hillary-dont-make-america-more-like-europe/">many times</a>) that the continent is in trouble because of <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/03/08/demographics-entitlements-europes-doom/">statism and demographic change</a>.<br />
What’s far more noteworthy, though, is that even the Europeans are
waking up to the fact that the continent faces a very grim future.<br />
For instance, the bureaucrats in Brussels are pessimistic, as <a href="https://euobserver.com/economic/135855">reported</a> by the <em>EU Observer</em>.<br />
<blockquote>
…the report warns of a longer term risk for the EU
economy. “As expectations of low growth ahead affect investment today,
there is potential for a vicious circle,” the commission’s director
general for economic and financial affairs writes in the report’s
foreword. “In short, the projected pace of GDP growth may not be
sufficient to prevent the cyclical impact of the crisis from becoming
permanent (hysteresis), ” Marco Buti writes.</blockquote>

Riots
broke out on Monday night in the suburb of Rinkeby, where a majority of
residents were born overseas, just hours after the country’s Prime
Minister attacked U.S President Donald J. Trump for linking mass
migration with rising violence in Sweden.</h2>
The riots, in which cars were set ablaze and shops were looted,
resulted in the Stockholm suburb looking “like a warzone” according to a
journalist who was at the scene.<br />

<h2>
A
group of lawmakers is planning to request a congressional investigation
of a $418 million U.S. weapons sale to Kenya approved by the Obama
administration on its last day in office.</h2>
The sale, approved by the State Department and privately notified to
Congress on January 19, would allow Kenya to buy 14 weaponized
crop-duster-like planes — including two trainer planes and services, for
missions against terrorist group al-Shabaab.<br />
The deal was publicly announced the Monday after Trump’s inauguration.<br />
A handful of lawmakers, led by Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC), are questioning
why the contract to produce the planes was awarded to major defense firm
L3 Technologies — which has never produced such a plane — while a
smaller, disabled veteran-owned company in North Carolina that already
make those planes at a lower cost was not considered.<br />

<h2>
Milo Yiannopoulos announced at a Tuesday New York City press conference his decision to resign as Breitbart Tech editor.</h2>
“Breitbart News has stood by me when others caved,” said
Yiannopoulos. “They have allowed me to carry conservative and
libertarian ideas to communities that would otherwise never have heard
them. They have been a significant factor in my success. I’m grateful
for that freedom and for the friendships I forged there.”<br />
Milo continued: “I would be wrong to allow my poor choice of words to
detract from my colleagues’ important reporting, so today I am
resigning from Breitbart, effective immediately. This decision is mine
alone.”<br />

<h2>
Pope
Francis has urged Christians to a change in attitude regarding
immigration, because failing to welcome migrants is rooted in
selfishness and fueled by “populist rhetoric.”</h2>
Speaking to participants in a conference on “Migration and Peace” in
the Vatican Tuesday, Francis said that “accessible and secure
humanitarian channels” are needed for <a class=" x5l" href="http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2017/february/documents/papa-francesco_20170221_forum-migrazioni-pace.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">migrants</a> fleeing from “conflicts and terrible persecutions.”<br />
“More widespread programs of welcome,” he said, “seem to favor a
personal encounter and allow for greater quality of service and
increased guarantees of success.”<br />
On the same day, the President of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/02/21/parliament-chief-warns-europe-expect-millions-millions-african-migrants/">warned</a>
that if Africa’s problems of drought and malnutrition are not dealt
with quickly and effectively, “we will have millions and millions of
Africans” pushing to enter Europe and dams and walls will not be
sufficient to hold them back.<br />

Peace
is the keystone of liberty and prosperity. To completely understand
why, it will be important to develop a theory of peace.</div>
<div class="graf graf--p graf-after--p" id="6caf" name="6caf">
Most
arguments against war at least partially rely on empirical evidence.
Anti-war literature tends to draw from past calamitous consequences of
foreign interventionism. Here I will endeavor to make the case for peace
using only theoretical incentive analysis.</div>
<div class="graf graf--p graf-after--p" id="1669" name="1669">
Extensive
literature already exists discussing the theoretical case for liberty.
This gives us a head start in developing a theory of peace, since peace
is a constituent part of liberty. Thus, peace is ideal for the same
basic reasons that liberty is.</div>

I
don’t often claim to know better than modern-day genius Bill Gates, but
as a student of both accounting and economics with a masters in
taxation, when I heard that <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="https://qz.com/911968/bill-gates-the-robot-that-takes-your-job-should-pay-taxes/" href="https://qz.com/911968/bill-gates-the-robot-that-takes-your-job-should-pay-taxes/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Gates had proposed </a>taxing
robots in order to protect workers who might be displaced by
automation, I immediately knew that would be a bad idea. The idea is
cute, really. Robots take our jobs, so why don’t they take our taxes?
The answer, like a lot in the world tax, lies in the weeds.</div>
<div class="graf graf--p graf-after--p" id="72b7" name="72b7">
First, let’s set aside the historical understanding in economics that robots — and technology in general — <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">don’t </em>steal
humans’ jobs. To the average reader this may seem like heresy, but the
majority of economists hold that technology does not destroy jobs, it
merely shifts laborers into <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">better </em>jobs.
(Sewing machines may have drastically shrunk the number of seamsters
and seamstresses, but those individuals are now free to become nurses
and chefs.) To think that technology permanently destroys employment
opportunity, as Bill Gates suggests here, actually has a name: The <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_unemployment" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_unemployment" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Luddite Fallacy</a>, named for a group of textile workers in the 19th century who opposed weaving machinery. <span class="markup--quote markup--p-quote is-other" data-creator-ids="anon" name="anon_a42b49eb05c7">Now the term Luddite is colloquially used as anyone who opposes technological progress.</span> Ironic, that Bill Gates has suddenly become its poster child.</div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">If all you knew about Christianity and economics were drawn from Pope Francis' comments, you'd doubtless be deeply confused.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
This pope certainly does seem to mistake the Gospel's call for
voluntary charity and unworldiness with an ideological program for the
forced redistribution of wealth. His ecological encyclical urged
governments to band together and assault private property through
multinational conspiracies – oops, I meant “organizations” – such as the
United Nations.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">And some Catholics are listening.
There's a new – and unnervingly popular – hard-left movement among
disgruntled, “orthodox” Catholic Millennials who resent having to leave
school and look for a job. That movement now has a </span><a href="http://tradinista.com/a-tradinista-manifesto"><span style="font-weight: 400;">manifesto</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.
It calls itself “Tradinista,” mashing together (as if they were
remotely compatible) “traditional” Catholicism with Sandinista economics
and politics. You'll see this new movement recommended in the once-free
market </span><a href="https://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2016/09/i-think-im-not-a-contra"><span style="font-weight: 400;">First Things</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> magazine, earnestly discussed by Ross Douthat of the </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">New York Times</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and tweeted about incessantly by 20-somethings from the depths of their parents' basements.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I was so appalled by the economic and
moral illiteracy that passes for “Catholic social teaching” these days,
both in Rome and on social media, that I wrote an entire book devoted
to debunking these misconceptions: </span><em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Politically-Incorrect-Guide-Catholicism/dp/1621575861"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Politically Incorrect Guide to Catholicism</span></a></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Below is an excerpt from the chapter on economics:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Donald Trump’s Paths to War</span></h1>
<hr />
<span class="byline">by Matthew Fay</span>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Ever since it became
clear Donald Trump had a shot at winning the presidency, there has been
speculation about the type of foreign policy he might bring to the White
House with him. Much of this speculation has centered on questions of
war and peace. While there has been some—not entirely in jest—concern
about how Trump might respond to a mean tweet once he had control of the
nuclear codes, commentators like </span><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-world-according-to-trump/2016/04/28/b29f501c-0d6a-11e6-8ab8-9ad050f76d7d_story.html?utm_term=.f802ca1b0b54" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">neoconservative columnist Charles Krauthammer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,
were concerned that the “America First” foreign policy Trump put forth
on the campaign trail may foreshadow a greater reticence to use military
force.</span><br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The United States is not very united.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Americans </span><a href="http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR896.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">have been sorting themselves along ideological lines</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> into like-minded regions of the country, increasing polarization </span><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2014/01/08/what-we-know-and-dont-know-about-our-polarized-politics/?utm_term=.6fd796c3f037"><span style="font-weight: 400;">in congressional voting patterns</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and creating a </span><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/2016-election/urban-rural-vote-swing/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">striking division in political preference and party loyalty</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> between city-dwellers and the denizens of low-density exurban and rural counties.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s how Hillary Clinton managed to
lose the Electoral College vote to Donald Trump despite beating his
overall vote total by nearly three million votes. There are more
Democratic voters, but they are densely concentrated in a handful of
Democrat-heavy cities and states, while Republicans are spread
relatively thinly but evenly across the country’s non-urban expanse. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s </span><a href="http://www.princeton.edu/%7Ervdb/JAVA/election2016/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">a useful illustration of the pattern</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from Robert Vanderbei, a Princeton mathematician and operations research expert: </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Thinking About Libertarian Foreign Policy</span></h1>
<hr />
<span class="byline">by Matthew Fay</span>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The 2016 election did
not provide much hope for libertarians. Yet some libertarians oddly
found President Donald Trump’s foreign policy pronouncements to be a </span><a href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/column-trumps-good-ideas/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">silver lining on an otherwise dark cloud</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.
Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton represented, in many ways, the
worst possible candidate from a libertarian perspective—a nanny state
liberal domestically and a hawkish interventionist internationally—which
led some libertarians to see </span><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/doug-bandow/donald-trumps-unpredictab_b_12526668.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump as the lesser of two evils</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.
Sure, his candidacy was built on protectionism and anti-immigrant
sentiments—and he also called for bringing back waterboarding as an
interrogation practice and massively expanding military operations
against the Islamic State—but his denigration of nation-building and
America’s military alliances warmed some libertarian hearts.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I would like to use this post to
provide some preliminary thoughts on libertarian foreign policy that are
part of a larger project the Niskanen Center will be launching in the
near future. And to start, I want to lay out a basic premise:</span><br />

<hr />
<span class="byline">by Kristie De Peña</span>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Last Friday,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials placed Daniel
Ramirez Medina in custody in Tacoma, Washington. According to the agents
who questioned Mr. Ramirez, ICE intended to detain and deport him
“because he was not born in this country.”</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Mr. Ramirez is the first individual with twice-granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status to be </span><a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3461829-Ramirez-Complaint.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">arrested</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in the United States, and subject to removal. His arrest highlights two major conflicts in U.S. immigration law and policy. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">First, is undocumented presence criminal? </span><br />

During a White House meeting with business leaders on Monday, President Donald Trump pledged to slash regulations by at least<span> </span><a href="http://thehill.com/regulation/administration/315688-trump-cut-75-percent-of-regs" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">75 percent</a>.<br />
<span class="rte-quote">40 years of command-and-control regimes have led to massive, ineffective, and unaccountable bureaucracies.</span><br />
Activists were positively<span> </span><a href="https://www.citizen.org/pressroom/pressroomredirect.cfm?ID=10129" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">apoplectic</a>, of course, and media<span> </span><a href="https://www.salon.com/2017/01/23/trumps-plan-to-slash-75-percent-of-regulations-will-come-at-the-cost-of-the-environment/" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">ridicule</a><span> </span>was swift. But exaggerated as the comment was, the larger point is incontrovertible: The<span> </span><a href="https://thf-reports.s3.amazonaws.com/2016/BG3127.pdf" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">unparalleled expansion</a><span> </span>of the administrative state is crushing America’s entrepreneurial spirit, productivity, and economic growth.<br />
Monday was not the first time Trump stressed the need to reduce “out
of control” regulation. As a candidate, he repeatedly vowed to cut
regulation “massively” and “<a href="https://nypost.com/2016/08/08/trump-charts-the-escape-from-obamanomic-stagnation/" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">remove the anchor</a><span> </span>dragging us down.”<br />

<div class="article-body-text">
For Plato (428 B.C. – 348 B.C.), the origin of society is found in
the inability of men to be self-sufficient; they lack the ability to
serve all their own needs through their own labor. Each man possesses
certain inherent qualities that make him better at some things than at
others. By and through specialization of tasks, the members of a
community can improve their material conditions by producing that
commodity at which they are most skilled, and trade quantities of it
away for the other things they need from others who are doing the same.<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span class="rte-quote">Plato argued
that each should do what is "natural" for them, and that when they do so
they are fulfilling that which is "best" in their "nature."</span></span><br />
But Plato’s defense of a division of labor is not based
only, or primarily, on its productive superiority. Instead, the
rationale for such a social arrangement is ethical. Given the diversity
of natures and skills among men, Plato argued that each should do what
is “natural” for them, and that when they do so they are fulfilling that
which is “best” in their “nature.” And, thus, they fulfill “the good.” </div>

What connects Martin Luther King and
Milton Friedman? George McGovern and Friedrich Hayek? The Adam Smith
Institute and John McDonnell?</div>
<div class="selectionShareable">
The answer is that all are fans of the
universal basic income – a policy that is suddenly the hottest thing in
town. Finland is trying it. Scotland <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jan/01/universal-basic-income-trials-being-considered-in-scotland" target="_blank">may follow suit</a>. Silicon Valley bigwigs, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jun/22/silicon-valley-universal-basic-income-y-combinator" target="_blank">including Marc Andreesen</a>, are keen. Long explorations of the idea have been published in the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/7c7ba87e-229f-11e6-9d4d-c11776a5124d" target="_blank">Financial Times</a> and <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/06/20/why-dont-we-have-universal-basic-income" target="_blank">New Yorker</a>. And this weekend, Benoît Hamon <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/29/leftist-benoit-hamon-wants-universal-wage-wins-french-socialist/" target="_blank">romped to victory</a> in the French socialist primaries by making it the centrepiece of his manifesto.</div>

<div class="article-body-text">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When we turn to another famous
ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle (384 B.C. – 322 B.C.), we find
little of the political regimentation that characterizes his teacher,
Plato. For Aristotle, the appropriate behavior is the “golden mean,”
that is, the avoidance of “extreme” or unrealistic goals or conduct in
the affairs of men.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">While he hopes that wise policies may
help to improve the conditions and actions of men, Aristotle recognizes
that man possesses a human nature that cannot be molded or bent or
transformed to conform to some ideal of a perfect State populated by
transformed people</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in the way that Plato believed was in principle desirable and possible.</span><br />
<strong>Aristotle and the Importance of Private Property</strong><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">This idea comes out most clearly in
Aristotle’s discussion of private property, and in his rejection of
Plato’s call for a communist social order in which material things are
held in common. Aristotle argued that </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">if all land was owned communally with work performed jointly,</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> there existed the potential for animosity and anger among the participants.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Why? Because </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">then
individuals would feel that they had not received what was rightly
theirs since work and reward would not be strictly and tightly
connected, as they are under a system of private property.</span><br />
<br />

Libertarians have a standard set of fundamental criticisms of the welfare state.<br />
<ol>
<li>Forced charity is unjust. Individuals have a moral right to decide if and when they want to help others.</li>
<li>Forced charity is unnecessary. In a free market, voluntary donations are enough to provide for the truly poor.</li>
<li>Forced charity gives recipients bad incentives. If the government
takes care of you, you're less likely to take care of yourself by work
and saving.</li>
<li>The cost of forced charity is high and growing rapidly, leading to a future of exorbitant taxes or financial crisis.</li>
</ol>

<span style="font-weight: 400;"></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Though
it may seem strange, Karl Marx was not always a communist. As late as
1842, when Marx was in his mid-20s, he actually said he opposed any
attempt to establish a communist system. In October 1842, he became
editor of the </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rheinische Zeitung </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">[the </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rhineland Times</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">], and wrote in an editorial: </span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rheinische Zeitung </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">... does not admit that communist ideas in their present form possess even </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">theoretical reality</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and therefore can still less desire their </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">practical realization</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, or even consider it possible.</span><br />
</blockquote>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">In 1843, Marx was forced to resign
his editorship because of political pressure from the Prussian
government and ended up moving to Paris. It was in Paris that he met his
future lifelong collaborator, Friedrich Engels (who already was a
socialist), and began his deeper study of socialism and communism,
leading to his full “conversion” to the collectivist ideal. </span><br />
<strong>Feuerbach and the Worship of Man Perfected</strong><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">From his student days in Berlin, two
German philosophers left their imprint upon Marx: George Hegel
(1770-1831) and Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872). From Hegel, Marx learned
the theory of “dialectics” and the idea of historical progress to
universal improvement. From Feuerbach, Marx accepted the idea of man
“perfected.” Feuerbach had argued that rather than worshiping a
non-existing supernatural being – God – man should worship himself. </span><br />

<div class="article-body-text">
The ‘simple life’ wasn’t so simple – and, compared to modern life
with all of its ‘complexities,’ the ‘simple’ life was also sure as hell
difficult, dirty, dreary, and dangerous. In his brilliant 1993 book <em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pursuing-Happiness-Consumers-Twentieth-Princeton/dp/0691607583/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">Pursuing Happiness: American Consumers in the Twentieth Century</a>, </em>Stanley Lebergott describes how central heating revolutionized American life:<br />
<blockquote>
The development of central heating in the 1920s has often
been instanced as one more example of how American materialism
overwhelmed the simple life. Indeed it did. It ended the simple family
chore of cutting and hauling fifteen to twenty tons of wood for stove
and fireplace, with the housewife then having to carry much or all of it
into the house. (As late as 1919 half of all farm women carried in
their firewood. Many also had to chop logs or branches into kindling.)</blockquote>
But note the job destruction that is rampant in modernity! Central
heating of homes destroyed countless millennia-old jobs of chopping and
hauling wood. What’s a poor family to do in light of this calamity?<br />

LONDON
– The most dramatic economic effect of the United Kingdom’s Brexit vote
has been the collapse of sterling. Since June, the pound has fallen by
16% against a basket of currencies. Mervyn King, the previous governor
of the Bank of England, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/oct/10/fall-in-sterling-is-a-welcome-change-says-mervyn-king-brexit-vote" target="_blank">hailed</a>
the lower exchange rate as a “welcome change.” Indeed, with Britain’s
current-account deficit running at over 7% of GDP – by far the largest
since data started being collected in 1955 – depreciation could be
regarded as a boon. But is it?
</div>
<div data-line-id="732e005af55949e897e445926d3c2a7e">
Economists
would typically argue that the way to balance a country’s external
accounts is through a fall in its currency, which would make imports
more expensive and exports cheaper, causing the former to fall and the
latter to rise. Higher import prices – a net loss for the country –
would be offset by the higher employment and wages generated by the more
competitive position of the country’s exports.

LONDON
– Donald Trump’s ignominious executive order barring entry into the
United States for refugees and others from seven predominantly Muslim
countries has dominated headlines in recent weeks. But the damage done
to America’s image, and to the global economy, will only be further
compounded by Trump’s early decisions on trade.
</div>
<div data-line-id="be28407066dd44a393af782686aa2ba3">
In speeches and
tweets, Trump has aggressively lashed out against globalization. He has
appointed the famously protectionist trade litigator Robert Lighthizer
to be US Trade Representative. And the other two members of his trade
triumvirate – Commerce Secretary-designate Wilbur Ross and White House
trade adviser Peter Navarro – are no less protectionist than Lighthizer.

NEW
YORK – US President Donald Trump is about to make a policy mistake. It
will hurt – particularly in the short run – countries across Sub-Saharan
Africa, Latin America, and Asia, especially emerging economies like
China and Sri Lanka (which run large trade surpluses vis-à-vis the
United States) and India and the Philippines (major outsourcing
destinations). But none will suffer more than the US itself.
</div>
<div data-line-id="08cdd89fe0cb4679ae1cef2529265114">
The policy in
question is a strange neoliberal protectionism – call it
“neo-protectionism.” It is, on the one hand, an attempt to “save”
domestic jobs by slapping tariffs on foreign goods, influencing exchange
rates, restricting inflows of foreign workers, and creating
disincentives for outsourcing. On the other hand, it involves neoliberal
financial deregulation. This is not the way to help the US working
class today.

NEW
YORK – US President Donald Trump’s administration has shocked the
mainstream press by bullying news outlets and unabashedly trafficking in
“alternative facts” (also known as lies). But Trump’s challenge to the
media <i>status quo</i> may not be an entirely bad thing: journalists
now have an opportunity to root out the bad habits associated with
cozying up to those in power.
</div>
<div data-line-id="662a2da602c24d2989506a0b0d8dc2c6">
Trump’s chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, drew gasps recently when he told the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/26/business/media/stephen-bannon-trump-news-media.html?_r=0" target="_blank"><i>New York Times</i></a>
that the news media represent “the opposition party.” Bannon may have
wanted to disorient his interlocutors, but he also inadvertently
reminded them of the adversarial role they are meant to play. In a
healthy democracy, the press helps citizens hold the government
accountable, by vigorously interrogating official policies and behavior.

MUNICH
– The world needs the European Union now more than ever. Despite recent
crises and the hard blow dealt by the Brexit vote, the EU may well be
the world’s best line of defense against today’s most serious threats:
isolationism, protectionism, nationalism, and extremism in all forms,
all of which are once again growing in Europe and beyond. The key to
enabling the EU to meet this potential – to save itself and the world
from catastrophe – is for member states urgently to adopt a “European
Union first” mantra.
</div>
<div data-line-id="9af9f8b9aede4756bb9b757f54a603c8">
Unlike the “America
first” credo embraced by US President Donald Trump, such a mantra would
not be an exercise in damaging unilateralism. On the contrary, it would
compel member states’ governments to look beyond narrow national
interest, defend openness and multilateralism, and confront head-on the
exclusionary political forces that have lately been gaining ground. It
would drive member states to consolidate the EU, thereby enabling it to
overcome the challenges it faces and help preserve the international
order.

The first ever GAO (Government Accountability Office) audit of the
Federal Reserve was carried out in the past few months due to the Ron
Paul, Alan Grayson Amendment to the Dodd-Frank bill, which passed last
year. Jim DeMint, a Republican Senator, and Bernie Sanders, an
independent Senator, led the charge for a Federal Reserve audit in the
Senate, but watered down the original language of the house
bill(HR1207), so that a complete audit would not be carried out.

</div>
Ben
Bernanke (pictured to the right), Alan Greenspan, and various other
bankers vehemently opposed the audit and lied to Congress about the
effects an audit would have on markets. Nevertheless, the results of the
first audit in the Federal Reserve's nearly 100 year history were
posted on <a href="http://sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/?id=9e2a4ea8-6e73-4be2-a753-62060dcbb3c3" target="_blank" title="http://sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/?id=9e2a4ea8-6e73-4be2-a753-62060dcbb3c3">Senator Sander's webpage</a> earlier this morning.
<br /><br />
<strong><span class="BoldGrey">What was revealed in the audit was startling:</span></strong>
<br /><br />
<strong>$16,000,000,000,000.00</strong> had been secretly given out to US banks and corporations and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland. <strong>From the period between December 2007 and June 2010</strong>,
the Federal Reserve had secretly bailed out many of the world's banks,
corporations, and governments. The Federal Reserve likes to refer to
these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program, but virtually
none of the money has been returned and it was loaned out at 0%
interest. Why the Federal Reserve had never been public about this or
even informed the United States Congress about the $16 trillion dollar
bailout is obvious - the American public would have been outraged to
find out that the Federal Reserve bailed out foreign banks while
Americans were struggling to find jobs.

<hr />
<div class="content-body">
The <strong>Sound Money Defense League</strong> strongly
supports legislation to audit the shadowy Federal Reserve, an
unaccountable private banking cartel that has been delegated the power
to control America's money supply.<br />
The U.S. House of Representatives approved the legislation in 2014 on
a 333-92 vote, with all but one Republican and 106 Democrats in favor
of it. However, former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat,
kept the bill from coming to a vote the Senate floor. In 2016, Rand
Paul's (R-KY) Federal Reserve Transparency Act received great support.
Ultimately, senate Democrats shot down the bill.<br />
This year, Paul has reintroduced the Federal Reserve Transparency Act (<a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/16">S. 16</a>) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) has introduced similar legislation in the house with <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/24">H.R. 24</a>. We are working hard to rally support for the passage of these important measures in 2017.<br />
<h2>
The Fed Enjoys Secrecy Despite Horrendous Mismanagement</h2>
A sightseeing tour through Washington D.C. may take you past an
ornate building that houses the most powerful group of men and women in
the Western world. It's not the White House and not the Capitol. It's
the Marriner Eccles Building, where you'll find the Federal Reserve Bank
of the United States.<br />
<img alt="" class="content-img-right img-polaroid" src="https://www.soundmoneydefense.org/img/federal-reserve-building-audit.jpg" /><br />
This secretive group of bankers has absolute authority to create and
control the money used by most of the world – the U.S. dollar, with no
elected lawmakers or voting taxpayers controlling them.<br />
The policies coming from the Eccles Building affect almost everything
bought and sold around the world, from stocks, bonds, and commodities
(oil, food, gold), down to the value of your home, your savings, and the
paycheck you bring home. All public debt created by The Fed is heaped
directly on your family's shoulders.<br />

Stanley is psychologically devastated by suicide and abandonment!<br />
Stanley Dunham becomes a troubled teen.<br />
The emotionally damaged boy grows into a rebellious teenager. Stanley
punches his High School principal and becomes a drifter, hopping rail
cars to Chicago, then California, then back again. At age 20, he marries

The hurt little boy grows into an angry and unstable young man. (Sound familiar Barry?)<br />
Just before leaving to fight in World War II in 1942, Stanley
impregnates Madelyn. A girl is born on November 29, 1942. Because
Stanley wanted a son, he names the girl after himself – Stanley Dunham!
(Middle name of Ann)<br />

– Radical progressive billionaire George Soros has spent some $45
million in recent years on efforts to take away power from voters to
select judges, <a href="http://www.americanjusticepartnership.com/hijacked.php">a new report released today by the American Justice Partnership reveals.</a> <a href="http://www.americanjusticepartnership.com/pdf/AJP_Soros_Study_Press%20Release.pdf">The report by attorney Colleen Pero</a> was introduced at an event held by <a href="http://www.heritage.org/">the Heritage Foundation</a>.
It identified $45 million spent by Soros, who funds a large range of
left-wing action groups, to “remake the judiciary and fundamentally
change the way judges are selected in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20%28United%20States%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="United States">United States</a>.”
“This movement to end citizen participation in state judicial elections
has been moving swiftly and silently, below the radar of the citizens
who would be impacted by Mr. Soros’ millions,” said Pero in a statement
about her report, “and it was time to bring this effort to the public’s
attention.”</span></span></span><br />

President-elect Donald Trump <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/trump-boeing-lockheed-martin-tweet-232939">dropped a bombshell</a>
on the defense industry: He asked Boeing to price out an alternative to
Lockheed Martin’s F-35 fighter jets, a hugely valuable contract that
Trump has criticized as too expensive. Lockheed’s share price plunged
almost 2 percent in after-hours trading.<br />
It was the culmination of weeks of interference by the
president-elect in the arcane, bureaucratic function of federal
procurement. In early December, it was Boeing on the receiving end of
Trump’s wrath, <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/806134244384899072">when he tweeted</a>
that the costs of the new Air Force One planes are “out of control” and
told reporters, “Boeing is doing a little bit of a number.”<br />
A few days later, he criticized the cost of the F-35 contract. And
earlier this week, he convened top military officials and the CEOs of
Boeing and Lockheed at his Mar-a-Lago estate to discuss how to bring
costs down. Trump told reporters afterward, “We’re just beginning, it’s a
dance.”<br />
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://politicalvelcraft.org/2010/11/06/hold-mccain-accountable-voted-to-end-95000-jobs-voted-to-end-f-22-fighter-jet-voted-for-national-security-failure-f-35-dysfunctional-jet/"><em>Hold
McCain Accountable: Voted To End 95,000 Jobs ~ Voted To End F-22
Fighter Jet ~ Voted For A National Security Failure ~ The F-35
Dysfunctional Jet!</em></a></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<span id="more-114331"></span><br />
More than any other president, Trump appears to want to take a direct
role in federal contracting, a technical, complex part of the
government that is run by tens of thousands of career civil servants. It
is normally a stodgy, rule-bound job, governed by the <a href="https://www.acquisition.gov/sites/default/files/current/far/pdf/FAR.pdf">Federal Acquisition</a>
Regulation book, which has more than 50 parts and is nearly 2,000 pages
long. Mastering the rules and norms takes years, if not decades, and
rarely receives much, if any, attention from the upper echelons of
government.<br />

<blockquote>
When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and
when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take
the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten
thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin!</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out.”</span><br />
From the original minutes of the Philadelphia bankers sent to meet with President Jackson February 1834,<br />
from <em>Andrew Jackson and the Bank of the United States</em> (1928) by Stan V. Henkels</blockquote>

President Jackson ended Rothschild’s 2nd. privately owned central
bank on July 10, 1832. It was later innocuously & illegally
resurrected in 1913. This time however, under a new innocuous sounding
name “The Federal Reserve”, which is still with us today.<br />
<blockquote>
From 1836 when the lights were turned off on Rothschild’s
central bank to 1913 the United States operated without a central bank
and it has been the most prosperous time of the country.<br />
What followed after 1913 would be the greatest injustice against the American people ever to be committed.</blockquote>

to examine some deep American traditions which may also give us some unusual
insights into the "principalities and powers" of Ephesians Chapter
6.</span>

<dt><span>Abraham Lincoln worked valiantly to prevent the Rothschild's
attempts to involve themselves in financing the Civil War. </span>
</dt>
<dt>
</dt>
<dt><span>Interestingly, it was the Czar of Russia who provided
the needed assistance against the British and French, who were among the
driving forces behind the secession of the South and her subsequent financing.
Russia intervened by providing naval forces for the Union blockade of the
South in European waters, and by letting both countries know that if they
attempted to join the Confederacy with military forces, they would also
have to go to war with Russia.</span>
</dt>
<dt>
</dt>
<dt><span>The Rothschild interests did succeed, through their agent
Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase, to force a bill (the National Banking
Act) through Congress creating a federally chartered central bank that
had the power to issue U.S. Bank Notes. Afterward, Lincoln warned the American
people:</span>
</dt>
<dt><span>"The money power preys upon the nation in time of
peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic
than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy.
I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes
me to tremble for the safety of our country. Corporations have been enthroned,
an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will
endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people,
until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the republic is destroyed.
"<http://www.servelec.net/lincoln.htm#4>4</span>
</dt>
<dt><span>Lincoln continued to fight against the central bank,
and some now believe that it was his anticipated success in influencing
Congress to limit the life of the Bank of the United States to just the
war years that was the motivating factor behind his assassination.</span>

<div class="body-content clearfix">
This week the 115<sup>th</sup>
Congress was sworn in, and there are some indications that Fed reform
may be on the agenda. The combination of populist anger fueled by Ron
Paul’s Presidential campaigns and the 2008 financial crisis coupled with
the repeated failings of the Federal Reserve to meet their projections
has created a rare window for monetary policy to be both politically
advantageous, as well as so obviously needed that even politicians can
see it. <br />
The question now is what sort of reform is on the table.<br />
<h4>
Congressional Reforms</h4>
Last Congressional session saw proposals from both the House and the Senate. <br />
From the House we have the FORM Act, <a href="http://mengercenter.org/analysis-of-the-form-act/" target="_blank">which would require</a>
the Fed to adopt a monetary policy rule and explain to Congress
whenever they deviate from that rule. The FORM Act also calls for an
annual GAO audit of the Federal Reserve, doubles the number of times the
Fed Chairman testifies before Congress, and makes some other tweaks to
the makeup and protocol of the Federal Reserve Board. Since the FORM Act
passed the House in 2015, there is a good chance we will see it
resurrected in 2017.<br />

The
FOMC has consistently overestimated future Fed Funds Rate (FFR) hikes.
For a body that prides itself on super-scientific research methods and
has teams of economists (self-described) and statisticians, it’s
interesting that they can’t even predict their own behavior.<br />
The graph is comical.<br />

Starting
in January, President-elect Donald Trump will have a unique opportunity
to pack the Federal Reserve with hard money officials.<br />
There are currently <a href="http://www.economist.com/news/business-and-finance/21697594-two-empty-board-seats-are-addling-americas-central-bank-how-vacancies-are-changing" target="_blank">two open</a>
Board of Governors seats, which will most likely not be filled before
the end of President Obama’s tenure. Additionally, both Chair Janet
Yellen and Vice-Chair Stanley Fischer’s terms will be up by 2018. Crunch
the numbers and you will see that Trump has the opportunity to replace a
majority of the Board of Governors and a third of the FOMC with
monetary policy hawks during his presidency.<br />
Call me crazy, but
assuming that the Republican-controlled House and Senate stands behind
him, I believe that Trump just may shock the financial world by shifting
this country’s monetary policy in a more hawkish direction.<br />

Even
today, few deny the long arm of US military might. After all, the US
military exhausted the Soviet Union, crushed Saddam Hussein, and drove
Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda into hiding.<br />
To what should we
attribute these triumphs? Some would say US planning and foresight.
Others would mention the hard work and dedication of US soldiers,
sailors, and airmen. Still others would point to the application of
superior technology. All would be correct to some degree, but each of
these explanations disregards the fact that for more than a lifetime,
the United States has wildly outspent its military competitors.<br />

Liberty
means to exercise human rights in any manner a person chooses so long
as it does not interfere with the exercise of the rights of others. This
means, above all else, keeping government out of our lives. Only this
path leads to the unleashing of human energies that build civilization,
provide security, generate wealth, and protect the people from
systematic rights violations. In this sense, only liberty can truly ward
off tyranny, the great and eternal foe of mankind.<br />
The definition
of liberty I use is the same one that was accepted by Thomas Jefferson
and his generation. It is the understanding derived from the great
freedom tradition, for Jefferson himself took his understanding from
John Locke (1632–1704). I use the term “liberal” without irony or
contempt, for the liberal tradition in the true sense, dating from the
late Middle Ages until the early part of the twentieth century, was
devoted to freeing society from the shackles of the state. This is an
agenda I embrace, and one that I believe all should embrace.<br />

It
is wrongly accepted by many liberals (i.e., libertarians) that most, if
not all, social problems can be “solved by the market.” But clearly,
the “market” cannot magically solve our problems. Let it be clear that
there is no doubt that the best way to have social progress is to have a
free market economy. However, free markets are not solutions to
problems, <em>per se</em>, but are rather what gives us the <em>opportunity</em>
to find our own solutions to our own problems by finding the most
valuable way to serve one another. For example, Frédéric Bastiat
famously wrote in <a href="https://mises.org/library/law"><em>The Law</em></a>
that: “At whatever point of the scientific horizon I start from, I
invariably come to the same thing — the solution of the social problem
is in liberty.”<br />

It has now become clear that in many ways the European Union is a cartel of high-tax governments whose goal is to <a href="https://mises.org/blog/how-brexit-could-help-all-europe">restrain tax competition</a>. The EU's supposedly free — this is, regulated — trade policy is none other than an excuse to <a href="https://mises.org/library/european-union-anti-european">homogenize the tax and regulatory regimes</a> of the nation-states.<br />
The
ultimate goal of the high-tax member states such as France is to use
the EU to milk as much as possible from the productive members of
society without losing their tax base. This has never been so clear as
it is now with the recent condemnation of Apple by the European
Commission which claims that Apple must pay €13 billion in “undue tax
benefits” to the Irish government. Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, in
charge of competition policy, said:<br />

In
the 2016 presidential election, Americans have been given a choice
between two types of controlled and managed trade. On the one hand,
there is Donald Trump who favors outright protectionism and controlled
trade for the benefit of select industries and companies. On the other
hand, there is Hillary Clinton who favors trade treaties in order to
manage trade. Although she seems to oppose the Trans-Pacific
Partnership, it is only because she does not believe this treaty to be
“fair.” That is, for Clinton, the TPP is not protectionist <em>enough</em>.
While Clinton describes her position as “pro trade” the fact is both
Clinton and Trump favor two different types of protectionism. Even the
disappointing third party candidate Gary Johnson fails to offer a
credible alternative by mistakenly believing that the TPP and managed
trade will “advance free trade.”<br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, the bond vigilantes are back. I
welcome the return of the bond vigilantes, and not just because they are
the one force that can stop the mad dash toward a fiscal bloodbath that
has been launched by Trump’s economics team.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Their
return also marks the end game of the drastic falsification of debt and
other financial asset prices that has been carried out by the world’s
central banks since the mid-1990s.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">What
has actually happened since then is that the bond “vigilantes” of yore
morphed into central bank “front runners” in recent years. That is, bond
traders, who used to sell government securities when they sensed fiscal
profligacy, switched to the “buy” side of the market as the age of
massive central bank balance sheet expansion and the associated
bond-buying sprees under quantitative easing (QE) unfolded.</span><br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">I never believed that the Great Disrupter made any sense on the fiscal issues. In fact, in </span><a href="https://pro.agorafinancial.com/m/629614"><b>Trumped!</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">
I called out his blather about rebuilding defense, slashing taxes and
mounting a giant infrastructure program as far more reckless than Ronald
Reagan’s 1981 “riverboat gamble.”</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I also said back when the book was published that whatever he had in mind would quickly end up smothered in the Swamp.</span><br />
I
do not claim clairvoyance, but I am pretty sure that a “gong show” is
exactly what is unfolding. On CNBC recently I described it as a
“trainwreck from the Oval Office,” meaning a furious burst of activity
which is sowing animosity, confusion, doubt, discord and pushback
throughout the Imperial City.<br />

The warring forces of inflation and deflation are at each other’s throats. Some see victory for inflation. Others for deflation.<br />
So… What happens to gold?<br />
Conventional
wisdom says gold thrives under inflation and wilts under deflation. The
case for gold under inflation is easy enough. Gold rises as the dollar
falls. It’s the opposite under deflation.<br />
But is conventional
wisdom right about gold and deflation? Is it time to consider a
different metric — not the nominal gold price — but gold’s <i>purchasing power</i> relative to consumer prices?<br />
The
late lamented Roy Jastram was a recognized authority on the gold
standard. He authored a 1977 tour de force on gold under both deflation
and inflation called <i>The Golden Constant: The English and American Experience, 1560–1976. </i><br />

It is almost impossible to overstate the level of unhinged mania in
the stock market, but still the robo-machines and knucklehead day
traders just can’t seem to let go.<br />
They are essentially 12-year-olds on a bicycle defiantly screaming, look ma — no hands and a blindfold, too!<br />
Worse
still, these daredevils have been indulged by the Fed and other central
banks so long that they surely have come to believe flying blind is
completely safe. After all, we can count at least 60 “dips” since March
2009 that resolved to the upside over and again.<br />
Altogether the S&P 500 now stands at <i>3.4X </i>its post-crisis low, having generated an 18% annual return (including dividends) for nearly eight years running.<br />
To
be sure, in an honest free market that very fact would be a flashing
red light, warning that exceptionally high gains over an extended period
necessitate a regression to the mean in the period ahead.<br />

BALTIMORE – <em>Victoribus spolia</em>…<br />
So far, the most satisfying thing about the Trump win has been the howls and whines coming from the establishment. <br />
Each appointment – some good, some bad from our perspective – has brought forth such heavy lamentations. <br />
You’d think Washington had been invaded by Goths, now raping the
vestal virgins (if there are any within the Beltway) on the White House
lawns while the Capitol burns to the ground.<br />

Harry
Houdini was the greatest escape artist of the 20th century. He escaped
from specially made handcuffs and underwater trunks, and once escaped
from being buried alive. Now, Janet Yellen will try to become the
greatest escape artist of the 21st century.<br />
Yellen is handcuffed by weak growth, persistent deflationary trends,
political gridlock, and eight years of market manipulation from which
there appears to be no escape. Yet, there is one way for Yellen and the
Fed to break free of their economic handcuffs, at least in the short
run. <em>Yellen’s only escape is to trash the dollar. Investors who see this coming stand to make spectacular gains.</em><br />

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu both
declined to commit to the internationally accepted recipe of a two-state
solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict Wednesday, a diplomatic
shift for both governments that could signal a realignment of the
traditional peace process.
<br />
At a joint news conference ahead of their first White House summit,
Trump said he would support whatever solution the Israelis and
Palestinians wanted.
<br />
"I'm looking at two states and one state, and I like the one both parties like," Trump said. "I can live with either one."
<br />
Netanyahu dodged the question.<br />

President Trump said Thursday that he will nominate former Justice
Department official R. Alexander Acosta as Labor secretary after his
first pick, fast-food executive Andy Puzder, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-puzder-labor-senate-20170215-story.html"> withdrew </a> . <br />
If confirmed, Acosta would be the only Latino in Trump’s Cabinet. <br />
"He’ll be a tremendous secretary of Labor," Trump said at a news
conference in the East Room of the WHite House, noting that Acosta was
previously confirmed by the Senate three times. <br />
Acosta
was assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights
Division under former President George W. Bush and also has served as
U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida and as a member of
the National Labor Relations Board.<br />

One of my all-time favorite podcast Q&As is <a href="https://www.aei.org/publication/dynamism-or-stasis-which-will-america-choose-a-qa-with-virginia-postrel/" target="_blank">a recent one</a> I did with Virginia Postrel. We chatted about her newly relevant 1998 book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Future-Its-Enemies-Creativity-Enterprise/dp/0684827603/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1486743797&sr=1-2" target="_blank">The Future and its Enemies</a>”,
in which she describes a world riven by clash between “dynamism” and
“stasism.” Right now, it seems the latter way of thinking — stagnation
and security over growth and risky change — is on the rise in the Age of
Trump.<br />
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_918447" style="width: 510px;">
<a href="https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/twenty20_3828e3f4-fc44-438d-b747-5ea659341bc3_globe-e1487185429105.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-918447" height="331" src="https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/twenty20_3828e3f4-fc44-438d-b747-5ea659341bc3_globe-e1487185429105.jpg" width="500" /></a><div class="wp-caption-text">
Twenty20.</div>
</div>
Let me highlight one exchange that touches on this issue:<br />
Pethokoukis: Why have the dynamists done such a poor job arguing their case?<br />
Postrel: Well, I think, first of all, the Republican candidates who
might have done so; notably, Jeb Bush, who I know is a fan of this book,
sort of crashed and burned early on and they never got traction. So
that was a problem. And I think political savants felt that this was not
the year to be talking, to be preaching that message.<br />

Did high levels of economic and policy uncertainty contribute to the
large and persistent increase in unemployment between 2007 and 2009? We
assemble a state-level measure of policy uncertainty from 2006 through
2009 and find that increases in local uncertainty over this period are
strongly correlated with local labor market outcomes. The
uncertainty-unemployment relationship is highly robust, and higher
levels of uncertainty created by preexisting institutions lead to
increased unemployment.<br />
Macroeconomists have advanced a number of hypotheses to explain the
severity of the 2007–2009 decline in employment. These explanations,
which are not mutually exclusive, include insufficient demand due to
household deleveraging, slow recalculation or adjustment to
sector-specific shocks, credit constraints due to problems in the
financial sector, and the aforementioned increases in policy and general
economic uncertainty. Unfortunately, as is often the case in
macroeconomics, distinguishing the differential impact of these
amplification channels has not been straightforward.<br />

One aspect of the “Great Recession” that might shed light on the
mechanism is the substantial geographic variation in employment losses.
The five states most deeply affected by the recession experienced
increases in their unemployment rates of 6 percentage points or more
from 2006 to 2009 (with the largest increase, in Nevada, exceeding 7.5
percentage points). Conversely, the five states least affected by the
downturn saw their unemployment rates increase by less than 2.1
percentage points. Given the importance of this geographic variation, it
is desirable that theories of the recession are consistent with this
cross-sectional pattern.<br />

Is the (presumably forced) resignation of Gen. Michael Flynn as
national security adviser after only 24 days in office way out of line
with presidential precedent? Certainly it’s the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/02/14/flynn-sets-record-with-only-24-days-as-nsc-chief-the-average-tenure-is-about-2-6-years/" target="_blank">briefest tenure</a> in that office since it <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Advisor_%28United_States%29" target="_blank">was created</a>
in the first months of the Eisenhower administration in 1953. The
runner up in that regard is William H. Jackson, Eisenhower’s National
Security Advisor for 129 days in 1956 and 1957.<br />

Jackson’s short tenure was not big news at the time, even though his
service covered not one but two major foreign policy crises that
occurred just before the 1956 presidential election — the Suez crisis,
in which Britain and France joined Israel in attacking Egypt, and Nikita
Khrushchev’s crushing of the revolt against Communism in Hungary. The
national security adviser job was neither high profile nor particularly
powerful in the administration of a president who, as later historians
though not contemporary journalists appreciated, kept tight control over
foreign policy.<br />

A recent trip to Cincinnati afforded me the opportunity to check out the well-known <a href="http://www.junglejims.com/">Jungle Jim’s International Market</a>
just north of the city. As a lover of all kinds of food, I was promised
that here I could find everything under the sun in one location. And
that promise was largely fulfilled, as Jungle Jim’s is indeed an amazing
place.<br />
<span class="rte-quote">The market is a process, actuated by the
interplay of the actions of the various individuals cooperating under
the division of labor.</span><br />
From its fantastic wine selection to its charcuterie to its tanks of
live fish to its exotic and obscure international produce to its
international dry goods area with sections containing food from
countries across the globe, including some of the smallest in Europe and
Central America, Jungle Jim’s is a food lover's paradise. It is a
cornucopia. It is a giant global buffet table. The more time I spent
there, however, the more I began to think about the physical space of
that market as a metaphor for the globalized economy.<br />

<a href="http://cafehayek.com/2016/10/41505.html">Two weeks ago I told a simple yet realistic tale of You running a trade surplus with Non-Youers</a>
(that is, with people who aren’t you – with people outside of your own
household). Here I tell an equally simple and equally realistic, yet
different, tale of You and Non-youers.<span class="rte-quote">Does your trade deficit with non-youers signal that you are economically irresponsible? Of course not!</span><br />
You have just become the proud parent of new-born triplets, so you
can no longer save as you once did. Every cent of your pay now goes
toward paying your current expenses. In other words, you stop running a
trade surplus with non-youers; you now buy as much from non-youers as
non-youers buy from you. One night, while awake tending to your new
bundles of joy, you are struck with an entrepreneurial idea for a new
product that you believe has a good chance of earning you a small
fortune <em>if</em> that product can be manufactured and distributed to consumers.<br />

It’s a scientifically and mathematically provable fact that all
tariffs, at any time and in any country, will harm economic growth,
eliminate net jobs, destroy prosperity, and lower the standard of living
of the protectionist country because tariffs are guaranteed by the
ironclad laws of economics to generate costs to consumers that outweigh
the benefits to producers, i.e. tariffs will always impose deadweight
losses on the protectionist country (see diagram below, and “<a href="https://www.aei.org/publication/an-economic-analysis-of-protectionism-clearly-shows-that-tariffs-make-us-poorer-not-greater/">An economic analysis of protectionism clearly shows that Trump’s tariffs would make us poorer, not greater</a>“).
That is, the reality that tariffs always inflict great economic damage
and leave society worse off is not a debatable outcome, rather it’s a
provable fact, like the law of gravity.<br />

A piece of sea bass for $16 struck me as absurd. That’s too much! I
bought it anyway. It was delicious. But I was still upset about the
price. Nonetheless, the next day I decided to buy some more.<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“We sold out of that yesterday.”</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">What can we conclude? I conclude that
it was the right price after all. The market cleared. In any case, what
gave me the idea that I knew it was too expensive? I bought it. The
terms were right, since the buyer and seller agreed. After all, if the
store could just charge anything it wanted, the fish would have been a
million dollars. If I paid what I wanted, the price would have been $0.
The real-world price is somewhere in between, but where precisely is an
experiment in human decision making. </span><br />
<span class="rte-quote" style="font-weight: 400;">The price system is
a kaleidoscope that beautifully merges our subjective imaginations with
the gritty realities of the physical world.</span><br />

If his first week in office is any way to judge him, Donald Trump
might, after all, be the kind of president who keeps his promises.
Unfortunately, some of what he vowed will be harmful—to everyone.<br />
Trump became a real candidate the moment he began complaining about
immigrants in 2015. Rhetoric suggesting that Mexicans are rapists and
that Muslim immigrants are inherently a threat benefited Trump
immensely. His plans for a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, propelled
him—bafflingly—to the White House. People like it. In my own experience
covering Trump rallies during the campaign, the crowds were most happy
to cheer and chant when Trump’s magic word “wall” came up.<br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Donald Trump has hardly taken his
hand off the Bible upon which he took the presidential oath to preserve,
protect and defend the U.S. Constitution, and he has already begun to
radically and rapidly transform the direction of the American
government. Taking up Barack Obama’s pen, he has signed a series of
executive orders. Several of them demarcate the underlying premises and
principles guiding much of his policy decision-making: political and
economic nationalism.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">One of these executive orders
declared that the United States was formally withdrawing from any
intention of participating in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which
had the stated purpose of reducing trade barriers among 12 countries,
while specifying a variety of requirements for the member nations to
fulfill as part of the agreement.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Another executive order called for
expediting the approval and construction of the Keystone and Dakota
Access Pipelines, to enable the transportation of crude oil from Canada
to refinery facilities closer to the Gulf coast. </span><br />

At the 2010 State of the Union address, President Obama <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v-rJb8G15I"><span style="font-weight: 400;">rebuked</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> members of the Supreme Court who were in the majority on the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Citizens United</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> case. These days, President Trump is fighting a two-front war against the judicial branch: in the courtroom, and on Twitter. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Both are examples of poor decorum, and neither is a coup d'etat. </span><br />
<strong>Bad Policy</strong><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Whatever the long-term psychological
effect of presidents calling out judges in public, the American legal
system seems to carry forward. But we may underestimate the real damage
caused by judges who trade in legal reasoning, for legislation and
policy. The Ninth Circuit’s decision on Trump’s travel ban is just the
latest example of this so-called judicial activism. </span><br />
<span class="rte-quote" style="font-weight: 400;">Congress has been exalting presidential powers for decades, a<span style="font-weight: 400;">nd we should stop fainting like Victorian virgins every time they use that power.</span></span><br />

The fallout from the resignation of National Security Adviser Michael
Flynn is not over. We have Russia, leaks, and palace intrigue about
former Obama administration officials laying the foundation to topple
Flynn, who was knows for being staunchly opposed to the Iran nuclear
deal. Guy <a href="http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2017/02/15/report-obama-allies-torpedoed-flynn-to-protect-iran-deal-n2285952">wrote a post</a> about the allegations. Flynn <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/02/14/trump-was-told-weeks-ago-that-flynn-misled-vice-president-about-russia-contacts-white-house-says/?utm_term=.e8b1b72a2f93">misled the vice president</a>, which alone is an act that warrants being shown the door. Yet, multiple writers, namely <a href="http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/02/15/nyt-trump-aides-had-contact-with-russian-intelligence-but-no-evidence-of-collusion-found-n2286220">Damon Linker at The Week and Eli Lake at Bloomberg</a>
have noted another sinister angle to this story, which is the number of
leaks of highly sensitive information coming from this administration.
It appears as if the intelligence community is willingly leaking
intercepted phone calls with Trump officials (Flynn) to hamstring the
administration from governing. Linker is no fan of Flynn, but added that
dissatisfaction with an administration is handled through things called
elections.<br />

Cross-border trade with Mexico surged following NAFTA.<br />
It’s fair to presume NAFTA is not the sole cause of the increase in
trade, but it is also fair to presume that NAFTA helped. Increased trade
is a benefit to both parties, otherwise, the trade would not take
place.<br />
Trump now threatens to kill the trade golden goose and US farmers are
in the crosshairs of the dispute. Any unraveling of NAFTA could hit
deeply enmeshed cross-border food supply chains.<br />
Please consider <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/7016f032-ecf9-11e6-930f-061b01e23655" target="_blank">US Farmers Rattled by Trump’s Mexico Plans</a>.<br />
<blockquote>
Corn is the biggest of the US’s $17.7bn in agricultural exports to
Mexico, a value that has risen fivefold since the countries signed the
North American Free Trade Agreement. Mexico’s exports to the US have
grown even faster to $21bn, led by fruits and vegetables such as lemons
and avocados.</blockquote>

<span><b>T</b></span>he Bush Administration has made much of Iraq's
oil reserves. It wants to use the proceeds from the sale of petroleum to pay
off the country's debts, cover the costs of reconstruction and government expenses.
It has been hectoring European governments and the Russian government to write
off much of the debt that Iraq owes them so that the money can be spent on rebuilding
that devastated country. In general, most people and governments have viewed
Iraqi oil as a boon; but its existence has major downsides. Oil is more of a
curse than a benefit.<br />
First is the quandary it creates for possession of the oil fields. Kirkuk is
surrounded by the northern oil fields, which represent about 40 percent of all
oil in Iraq. The city of Kirkuk includes Kurds, Arabs, Turkmens, and Assyrian
Christians. Except for the Christians, each group claims to be the largest.
During Saddam Hussein's regime, Arabs were encouraged to migrate to the region
and occupy farms and houses. In many cases Kurds were forced out of their properties,
which were turned over to the newcomers.<br />

<span><b>W</b></span>hile the White House has often denied having
a Plan B for Iraq, it turns out that the Pentagon has thought about what to
do if Plan A, the "surge" doesn’t work. According to Steve Inskeep
and Guy Raz of <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10292643">National
Public Radio</a>, plan B would involve maintaining a series of military bases
around Iraq with some 30,000 to 40,000 U.S. troops. That plan would have them
stay for decades, under the excuse that they could train the Iraqi troops and
deter neighboring countries, such as Iran and Turkey, from sending their own
troops into the country. Already the U.S. has built military compounds that
look permanent, supplied with air-conditioning, movie theatres, Starbucks coffee
houses, and fast food outlets.<br />

to back the nation’s spy agencies, but his time would be better spent downsizing
the sprawling intelligence community<br />
Ivan Eland<br />
Originating from the dispute over whether the Russians hacked the U.S. election
and tried to influence it, rumblings came from the Trump transition team about
reorganizing the intelligence community or parts thereof. That’s not a bad idea
at all.<br />
Prior to 9/11, the US intelligence community had grown to 16 sprawling, secretive
agencies, which stayed in their stovepipes, thus cooperating insufficiently.
For example, the CIA and FBI had coordination problems that really impaired
the government’s warning of the 9/11 attacks.<br />

"I worry that there’s a temptation to overstate the terrorist threat. It is not an existential threat."<br />
"Demonizing Islam and demonizing Muslims is self-defeating. It will make the problem worse."<br />
These are two of the statements made by former Secretary of Defense and former
director of the Central Intelligence Agency Robert Gates at the Naval Postgraduate
School on January 5, 2017. Classes for one morning time slot were canceled so
that the students, largely U.S. military officers, could attend. I attended
also.<br />
What follows are some of the good things Gates said, along with some
of the bad. There were more good things than I had expected, all in the
direction of not going overboard on foreign policy. I caution, though,
that it’s relatively easy for someone to make independent thoughtful
statements when he is no longer a high-level appointee and when, given
his age (73) and his likely net worth, he is likely no longer looking
for a political job. I have no idea how he actually acted while
Secretary of Defense. After listing the good and the bad, I’ll close
with one thing Gates said that, whatever his intent, increased my
respect for President-elect Trump.<br />

Advisor Mike Flynn was ousted from his post: a cabal of current and former members
of the “intelligence community,” fanatically opposed to Donald Trump’s stated
desire to “get along with the Russians,” leaked the top secret transcript of
Flynn’s conversation with Russian ambassador Sergay Kislyak. Although we don’t
yet know exactly what transpired – as of this writing, BuzzFeed hasn’t gotten
their hot little hands on the transcript – there was apparently some discussion
of lifting sanctions on Russia, which is something the cabal and its collaborators
in Congress and the media are determined to prevent at all costs.<br />

Also Expects to Get Along With Russia</h4>
<div class="details">
by Jason Ditz</div>
</div>
<br />According to White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, President <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-ukraine-idUSKBN15T2IY">Trump “expects” Russia </a>to
both make the level of violence in Eastern Ukraine go down, and to
unconditionally “return” the Crimean Peninsula to the Ukrainian
government, adding that he “also expects to get along with Russia.”<br />
<img align="right" alt="" height="162" hspace="10" src="http://news.antiwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/crimea.png" vspace="10" width="241" />After
protests in Kiev ousted the pro-Russian government in Ukraine, the
Autonomous Republic of Crimea held a referendum on secession from the
Ukraine in March 2014. A region dominated by ethnic Russians and host to
a major Russian military base, that referendum easily passed, and
Crimea sought and received accession into the Russian Federation days
later.<br />
The post-revolution Ukraine government was pro-West, and naturally
Western nations rejected the Crimean secession as unlawful, accusing
Russia of “annexing Crimea” militarily. Despite this claim, no real
military action ever took place, and the only movement of forces came
after the referendum, when Ukraine managed to borrow enough gasoline and
car batteries to get their military vehicles off the peninsula.<br />
The US has vowed never to accept Crimea as part of Russia, however,
and has repeatedly demanded Russia unconditionally “return” Crimea.
Clearly Russia has no intention of doing so, and threats aside Ukraine
has no practical way to expel Russia from the peninsula.</div>

American Spectator columnist <strong>Jeffrey Lord</strong> notes that the news media is methodically attacking<strong> President <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/trump/">Trump</a></strong>’s staff, one by one — including Chief of Staff <strong>Reince Priebus</strong>, advisers <strong>Stephen K. Bannon</strong>, <strong>Kellyanne Conway</strong> and <strong>Stephen Miller</strong>; and press secretary <strong>Sean Spicer</strong>. Mr. Lord describes these attacks as a “media jihad” prompted by press annoyance of the Trump White House and its agenda.<br />
“The
game is to zero in on this or that Trump White House staffer and paint
them with some form of journalistic radioactivity,” the columnist
explains, adding that this is a very old tactic that has percolated for
decades.<br />

The Cold War was waged and won in many places, including this beach city, home to the Rand Corp. Created in <a href="http://www.rand.org/about/history/a-brief-history-of-rand.html" shape="rect" title="www.rand.org">1948</a>
to think about research and development as it effects military planning
and procurement, Rand pioneered strategic thinking about nuclear
weapons in the context of the U.S.-Soviet competition. Seven decades
later, it is thinking about the nuclear threat from a nation created in
1948.When Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said that any North Korean use of nuclear weapons would draw an “<a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mattis-north-korea-nuclear-weapon-overwhelming-us-response-japan-trump/" shape="rect" title="www.cbsnews.com">effective and overwhelming</a>” U.S. response, he did not, according to Rand’s <a href="http://www.rand.org/about/people/b/bennett_bruce.html" shape="rect" title="www.rand.org">Bruce W. Bennett</a>, “overcommit” the president by saying that the response would be nuclear. But an overwhelming response could be. <br />

Stupid but legal. Such is the Trump administration’s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/immigration-order-explainer/" shape="rect" title="www.washingtonpost.com">travel ban</a>
for people from seven Muslim countries. Of course, as with almost
everything in American life, what should be a policy or even a moral
issue becomes a legal one. The judicial challenge should have been given
short shrift, since the presidential grant of authority to exclude the
entry of aliens is extremely wide and <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1182" shape="rect" title="www.law.cornell.edu">statutorily clear</a>. The judge who issued the temporary restraining order <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3446391-Robart-Order.html" shape="rect" title="www.documentcloud.org">never even made a case</a> for its illegality. </div>
The
9th Circuit Court of Appeals has indeed ruled against the immigration
ban, but even if the ban is ultimately vindicated in the courts (as is
likely), that doesn’t change the fact that it makes for lousy policy. It
began life as a barstool eruption after the San Bernardino massacre
when Donald Trump <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/12/07/donald-trump-calls-for-total-and-complete-shutdown-of-muslims-entering-the-united-states/?utm_term=.51698f3104e5" shape="rect" title="www.washingtonpost.com">proposed a total ban</a> on Muslims entering the country “until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.”<br />

A
strange and circuitous path led retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn toward
his fateful telephone contact in late December with Russian Ambassador
Sergey Kislyak and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/michael-flynn-resigns-as-national-security-adviser/2017/02/13/0007c0a8-f26e-11e6-8d72-263470bf0401_story.html?utm_term=.c0a1e7b826a3" shape="rect" title="www.washingtonpost.com">the flameout</a> of what had been a distinguished military career. </div>
Military
and intelligence colleagues who served with Flynn describe him as a
brilliant tactician whose work in the shadowy Joint Special Operations
Command a decade ago didn’t prepare him for broader challenges as head
of the Defense Intelligence Agency, from which he was removed in 2014,
and national security adviser, the post from which he resigned Monday
night.<br />
“In the JSOC world, you think you’re Superman,” said a
former Pentagon superior of Flynn’s. After the disappointment at DIA, he
said, “Flynn wanted recognition from anyone who would give it to him.”
The Russians paid attention, and he reciprocated. <br />

<article itemprop="articleBody"> President
Trump’s ouster of national security adviser Michael Flynn, and the
circumstances leading up to it, have quickly become a major crisis for
the fledgling administration, forcing the White House on the defensive
and precipitating the first significant breach in relations between
Trump and an increasingly restive Republican Congress.<br />
Even
as the White House described Trump’s “immediate, decisive” action in
demanding Flynn’s resignation late Monday as the end of an unfortunate
episode, senior GOP lawmakers were buckling under growing pressure to
investigate it.<br />

Yesterday was “Australia Day,” which I gather for Aussies is sort of like the 4th of July for Americans.<br />
To belatedly celebrate for our friends Down Under, I suppose we could sing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ulj61LxQgTI"><em>Waltzing Matilda</em></a>.<br />
But since I’m a policy wonk with <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/question-of-the-week-where-will-you-go-if-america-collapses/">a special fondness for the nation</a>, let’s instead acknowledge Australia Day by citing some very interesting research<br />
Economists at the Australian Treasury <a href="http://www.treasury.gov.au/PublicationsAndMedia/Publications/2016/working-paper-2016-02">crunched the numbers</a>
and estimated the economic effects of a lower corporate tax rate. They
had several levers in their model for how this change could be financed,
including increases in other taxes.<br />
Corporate income taxes are <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/03/05/a-primer-on-growth-politics-and-taxation/">one of the most destructive ways</a>
for a government to generate revenue, so it’s not surprising that the
study concluded that a lower rate would be desirable under just about
any circumstance.<br />
But what caught my attention was the section that looked at the
economic impact of a lower corporate tax rate that is offset by a
reduction in the burden of government spending. The consequences are
very positive.<br />

February 5 Addendum: For my left-wing friends and others who are
bending over backwards to misread this column, saying nice things about
Russia’s flat tax doesn’t mean (as noted below) that Russia’s overall
economic policy is admirable. And it obviously doesn’t imply anything
favorable about Russia’s dismal political system or Putin himself. I
like the Russia flat tax for the same reason that I like <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/chinas-economic-model-is-superior-if-you-think-u-s-living-standards-should-drop-by-80-percent/">trade liberalization in China</a> and <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/10/05/chiles-private-social-security-system-should-be-globally-emulated-not-locally-emasculated/">Social Security reform in Chile</a>.
Every so often, bad governments stumble upon a good policy and I think
that’s laudable because I want people to have better lives. Sadly, I
don’t think the Putin-Trump “bromance” will lead to a flat tax in the
US, but that would be an unexpected and nice silver lining to that dark
cloud.<br />

Back in 2010, <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2010/08/22/barack-obama-named-man-of-the-year-by-libertarian-party/">I joked</a>
that the Libertarian Party should give Barack Obama a Man-of-the-Year
Award because his failed policies rejuvenated interest in limits of
federal power.<br />
Though, in retrospect, perhaps the GOP should have given Obama the Award since Republicans <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/new-research-shows-obamacare-resulted-in-25-additional-democratic-losses-in-2010-elections-but-was-it-a-long-term-victory-for-the-left/">reaped the short-term benefits</a>.<br />
In any event, let’s not get distracted by electoral politics. That’s
because we have another tongue-in-cheek award. It’s time for the
Libertarian Party to give its Woman-of-the-Year Award to Michelle Obama.<br />
Why? Because the First Lady has <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2010/08/03/the-first-ladys-misguided-crusade/">single-handedly managed to discredit</a> the federal government’s program to subsidize school lunches.<br />
In short, there are now all sorts of federal regulations and mandates
that have simultaneously made the program most costly for schools and
resulted in food that is less appealing to students.<br />
In other words, she’s helping to teach the next generation that big
government makes your life less pleasant. That’s usually a lesson young
people don’t learn until they get their first paycheck.<br />
Let’s look at the results of Ms. Obama’s handiwork.<br />
Citing a report from the Government Accountability Office, the <em>Wall Street Journal</em> <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/government-food-flight-1444949683">opines</a> on how Washington has made the school lunch program become far less appealing.<br />

Since I’m always reading and writing about government policies,
both in America and around the world, I’m frequently reminded of H.L.
Mencken’s famous observation about the shortcomings of “tolerable”
government.<br />
<a href="http://izquotes.com/quotes-pictures/quote-government-is-actually-the-worst-failure-of-civilized-man-there-has-never-been-a-really-good-one-h-l-mencken-331111.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignright " height="138" src="https://i0.wp.com/izquotes.com/quotes-pictures/quote-government-is-actually-the-worst-failure-of-civilized-man-there-has-never-been-a-really-good-one-h-l-mencken-331111.jpg" width="293" /></a><br />
If you take a close look at the <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/09/16/the-decline-of-economic-liberty-during-the-bush-obama-years/">world’s freest economies</a>, you quickly learn that they are highly ranked mostly because of the even-worse governments elsewhere.<br />
Even places such as Switzerland have <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/07/09/switzerlands-self-destructive-wealth-tax-should-be-abolished/">some misguided policies</a>.<br />
But there’s a silver lining to this dark cloud. The incompetence,
mendacity, and cronyism that exists all over the world means that I’ll
never run out of things to write about.<br />
So let’s enjoy a new edition of Great Moments in Foreign Government.<br />
We’ll start with the <a href="https://pjmedia.com/parenting/2017/02/10/british-researchers-universal-free-childcare-an-abject-failure/">utterly predictable failure</a> of an entitlement program in the United Kingdom.<br />

<div class="mol-para-with-font">
The government must stop ‘nannying’
British parents and do away with universal free childcare, a new report
has urged. Families most in need of help are not getting it because
Government subsidies are poorly targeted, the Institute of Economic
Affairs publication said. Many families on average earnings are spending
more than a third of their net income on childcare, the report claimed,
saying too much regulation in the sector has hiked prices. …One study
has estimated that keeping parents in work costs £65,000 per job, the
report claimed, describing current policy as ‘costly and inefficient’.
…home-based childminders are priced out of the sector, it said.
Co-author of the report Len Shackleton, an editorial research fellow at
the Institute of Economic Affairs, said: ‘Government interventions in
the childcare sector have resulted in both British families and
taxpayers bearing a heavy burden of expensive provision.</div>

I’m not a big fan of Donald Trump, mostly because I fear his populist instincts will <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/trump-entitlements-and-americas-potential-greek-future/">deter him</a> from policies that we need (such as <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/im-shocked-shocked-that-obama-wasnt-telling-the-truth-about-the-cost-of-obamacare/">entitlement reform</a>) while luring him <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/11/14/three-sensible-rules-to-guide-the-trump-administrations-infrastructure-initiative/">to support</a> policies that are misguided (more <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/08/19/get-washington-out-of-the-business-of-redistributing-and-wasting-transportation-dollars/">federal transportation spending</a>).<br />
<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/11/08/final-election-predictions-last-minute-political-humor-and-a-silver-lining-to-the-dark-cloud-of-2016/"><img alt="" class="alignright " height="111" src="https://i1.wp.com/freedomandprosperity.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/2016-election-me.jpg" width="156" /></a>But I admit it’s too early to tell. Maybe my <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/08/01/setting-aside-crassness-and-bluster-trumps-a-typical-big-government-republican/">policy predictions</a> on Trump will be as bad as my<a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2016/11/08/final-election-predictions-last-minute-political-humor-and-a-silver-lining-to-the-dark-cloud-of-2016/"> political predictions</a> about Trump.<br />
And, for what it’s worth, I’ll freely acknowledge that Trump’s
election is having a very good effect on my leftist friends. Because
they fear the new occupant of the White House, they’re now much more
sympathetic to the notion that there should be <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/if-obamacare-is-constitutional-then-why-did-the-founding-fathers-bother-with-a-list-of-enumerated-powers/">limits on the power of the federal government</a> and they’re acknowledging that maybe <a href="https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/federalism-is-good-policy-and-good-politics/">federalism</a> isn’t such a bad idea after all.<br />
Indeed, some of them are so supportive of limiting the impact of Washington that they’re considering secession! The <em>L.A. Daily News</em> <a href="http://www.dailynews.com/government-and-politics/20161224/is-california-splitting-away-group-believes-california-should-form-its-own-nation">reports</a> on a growing campaign in the Golden State.<br />
<blockquote>
“Yes California,” a pro-secession group, filed paperwork
with the state attorney general in November for a proposed 2018 ballot
measure to strike language in the state constitution binding California
to the United States. …If its ballot measure succeeds, Yes California
would pursue a 2019 vote to declare the state’s independence. …Talk of
California secession is nothing new. But it gained momentum after Donald
Trump’s election. Hillary Clinton got 62 percent of California’s vote
in defeating Trump… According to Yes California, a path to secession
exists through the U.S.-ratified United Nations charter.</blockquote>

which was featured in the fatally flawed DNI report on Russian
interference in the U.S. presidential election, and asked her a few
questions about the widely panned intelligence report, fake news and
more.<br />
The <em>“Declassified Intelligence Community Assessment of Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections”</em>
report, which amounted to nothing more than a speculative assessment,
contained no actual evidence of Russian hacking, and was a clear attempt
at propping up a dubious political agenda.<br />
The report provided no conclusive evidence to support the oft-made
claims of “Russia hacking the election,” and instead devoted a large
section of the report to speculative claims about Russian motives and
criticism of the Russian television station RT.<br />
In particular, the report explicitly blamed the RT program, <em>Breaking the Set</em>,
for undermining Americans’ confidence in US electoral processes. One
major problem: the program wasn’t even on the air during the current
presidential election cycle.<br />

the United States might continue to be represented by Lady Justice,
whose blindfold and scales symbolize the fair and equitable application
of law without prejudice, regardless of one’s station in life, few could
argue how that original intent has actually played out. With the
blindfold long ago ripped off, Lady Justice metes out sentences based
solely on power, privilege, and the size of one’s wallet.</span><br />
This is, of course, most clearly evident in the State’s absurd War on
Drugs — far more fittingly called a War on the People. A war in which,
just as a recently <a href="https://www.facebook.com/policethepoliceACP/photos/a.540196092664058.146582.540176322666035/1274725675877759/?type=3&theater">viral meme</a>
describes, “anti-drug” politicians deal drugs, banks launder that
illicit profit, the president supplies the cartels with badly needed
weapons, and the military ineptly loses massive shipments of drugs — and
all of this is carried out with complete impunity. However, if you are
not an agent of the State and happen to be caught with one of the most
medicinally beneficial plants on Earth in one of the State’s arbitrary
areas where possessing or using that plant remains a no-no, it’s
guaranteed you will not receive the same treatment.<br />

scandals, increased accidents, and police state issues with Red Light
Cameras and we are still left with a system that is rooted in the
removal of due process. After the corporatist red light camera industry
spread through the nation like a cancer for more than a decade, people
are finally beginning to realize their inherently despotic nature.<br />
After they woke up to the fact that their due process had been
entirely removed by Optotraffic — a private vendor allowed to extort
citizens with the blessing of New Miami politicians — the people fought
back in the form of a class action lawsuit.<br />

<strong>Steve Watson</strong><br />
<a href="http://infowars.com/">Infowars.com</a><br />
This week marked the fifth anniversary of Obama’s first drone kill
while in office. Since that time, according to a report from a leading
watchdog, close to two and a half thousand people have been killed by
launches sanctioned by the White House.<br />
<a href="http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2014/01/23/more-than-2400-dead-as-obamas-drone-campaign-marks-five-years/" target="_blank">The Bureau of Investigative Journalism</a>
in London, a staunch critic of the semi-secret drone program, has
compiled a report to mark the milestone. The group collates and compiles
information on the drone strikes from local, national and international
media, law enforcement and government reports, as well as eyewitnesses
accounts. It’s statistics are considered the most authoritative on the
subject.<br />

<img alt="" class="tie-appear" height="297" src="http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Presidents-Pakistan.jpg" width="480" />
The group notes that Obama’s first authorised strike came just THREE
DAYS into his presidency, and killed at least nine civilians, mostly
from one family, in Pakistan’s tribal regions.<br />
“There was one survivor, 14-year-old Fahim Qureshi, but with horrific
injuries including shrapnel wounds in his stomach, a fractured skull
and a lost eye, he was as much a victim as his dead relatives.” the
report notes.<br />

Mike Flynn’s out. He resigned as Trump’s advisor this evening after a
chorus of calls for him to step down for an alleged relationship with
the Russians. This fits the narrative used by Democrats since the
election: Putin and the Russians influenced the vote somehow, although
nobody can tell us how exactly. Trump and his supporters are in league
with them, according to the narrative.<br />
Flynn will be replaced by retired Gen. Keith Kellogg.<br />
Kellogg has an interesting history. In addition to his disastrous
mismanagement of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, Kellogg
was president of Abraxas, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cubic
Corporation. Cubic provides diversified systems and services to the
transportation and defense markets worldwide, according to <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/cubic-corporation-to-report-fiscal-2015-first-half-results-and-host-conference-call-on-may-18-2015-2015-05-14">MarketWatch</a>.<br />

De Jouvenel concludes his examination on Power with a look at the
liberal case for limited government. He holds an imaginary conversation
with his liberal counterpart, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89mile_Faguet">Émile Faguet</a>:<br />
<blockquote>
The state, you tell us, has a normal sphere of competence. Agreed. But how do you define it?<br />
<em>To assure internal order and external security.</em><br />
What has determined it?<br />
<em>The nature of society which is formed for the defense of all
against aggression from without and of each man against assault by his
neighbor.</em><br />
But at this point I pull you up. Who compels me to subscribe to your conception of society?</blockquote>
At which point de Jouvenel describes the different viewpoints of the
different members of this society – where for each, the interpretation
and application of this “normal sphere of competence” means
significantly different things.<span class="amazon-element-wrapper-custom align-right last-count"> <span class="amazon-element-med-image"><span class="amazon-image-wrapper"></span></span> </span><br />

Hong Kong</div>
</div>
On January 26, 1841, two years into the First Opium War between
China’s Qing Dynasty and the British Empire, Commodore Sir Gordon
Bremer hoisted the British flag above Possession Point in Hong Kong.<br />
At the time the island’s population numbered less than 10,000. Most were illiterate fishermen.<br />
Hong Kong was also devoid of any meaningful natural resources except for well-placed geography.<br />
So when the war ended in 1842 and British diplomats formally annexed
Hong Kong into their empire, they turned it into a free port almost
immediately.<br />
This means that no taxes were charged on goods traded in Hong Kong—an anomaly back then.<br />
Governments routinely squeezed trading posts for tax revenue, taking a cut of all goods shipped through the port.<br />

Santiago, Chile</div>
</div>
In 524 BC, a group of pirates set sail for Sifnos, an ancient Greek island famed for its vast gold and silver mines.<br />
The mines of Sifnos were unparalleled in the ancient world.<br />
They produced so much gold and silver that the local government at
Sifnos could erect countless monuments, invest in new public works, and
still easily have a substantial balance remaining at the end of each
year to distribute to the citizens.<br />
When the pirates arrived, they robbed the island of 100 <em>talents</em> of gold, an unfathomable sum at the time.<br />
In the ancient world, a talent was a unit of weight equivalent to 26 kilograms, or about 836 troy ounces.<br />

What you’re going to read in the next few minutes will be shocking and
unbelievable. But it’s also factual and logical. That will make it
upsetting and disturbing. Most people are at least vaguely aware of
what’s happening. But very, very few are aware of its degree or the
implications.<br />
As you probably know, I believe times are about to get quite rough
economically and politically. But, at the same time, I’m very optimistic
about what’s happening in science and technology. So let me hazard some
predictions. And break the old rule about how, if you predict an event
will occur, to make sure you don’t predict its timing.<br />
<h3>
<strong>THE RECENT PAST</strong></h3>
I was born just after the end of WW2. It was an idyllic era to be an
American. The U.S. had more wealth than the rest of the world combined.
Things were mellow at home as “Leave It to Beaver” in the ’50s
transitioned into “California Girls” in the early ’60s.<br />
True, there were at least a couple of times (the 1962 Cuban Missile
Crisis and a while in the early ’80s) when it looked like there might be
a global thermonuclear war. We not only dodged those bullets, but
things kept improving. The average American accumulated so much stuff
that he had to rent a storage unit, after filling up his two-car garage.<br />

So, Trump has won the election. Of course anything can happen between
now and his presumed inauguration on January 20. The Swamp Creatures
tried to cause a recount in so-called Purple States that would have
changed the number of electors in Hillary’s favor. They tried other ways
to somehow influence Trump electors to vote for Hillary. None of this
would have been an issue if Baby Bush II, Jeb, had been the Republican
nominee, as was supposed to have happened. It all just shows what a
transparent (a word these people love to use) fraud “democracy” has
become.<br />
Let the hoi polloi cast a meaningless vote, so they have the illusion
of being in control. Instead of seeing themselves as subjects, they’ll
think they’re “we the people,” who actually have some say in what
happens. That way they’ll pay their taxes willingly, enthusiastically
sign on to aggressive wars on the other side of the world against people
they know nothing about, and generally do as they’re told. Because it’s
supposed to be patriotic. “Democracy” is a much more effective scam for
controlling the plebs than kingship or dictatorship.<br />

In mid-June, the U.S. Treasury Department announced a scheme by which
it will either displace or demote Alexander Hamilton’s image on the $10
bill, in favor of a yet-to-be named woman chosen by some unspecified
democratic poll. The woman will be named later this year, but the final
change is scheduled for 2020, to mark the centennial of American women
getting the right to vote in U.S. elections (via the 19<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">th</span></span> Amendment
to the U.S. Constitution). The Treasury claims that the $10 bill is due
for a security upgrade anyway (to deter counterfeiting), so apparently
it feels this is as good a time as any to jettison the nation’s first
and greatest Treasury secretary.<sup>1</sup><br />
This is an injustice to Alexander Hamilton, a derogation of the U.S. founding, and yet another example of “identity politics.”<br />

The Fraser Institute has published its <a href="http://issuu.com/econfree/docs/efw-2015-final_for_posting" target="_blank">Economic Freedom of the World Index</a> for 2015, and, as the Charles Koch Institute <a href="http://www.charleskochinstitute.org/2015-economic-freedom-of-the-world/" target="_blank">reports</a>, the numbers for America are ugly.<br />
The United States—which in 2000 was ranked 2nd (Hong Kong was 1st)—is
now “16th of the 157 countries surveyed for five major indicators of
freedom, such as size of government, freedom to trade internationally,
and regulation.”<br />
<blockquote>
The [Index’s] key ingredients for economic freedom are
personal choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to compete, and protection
of persons and property. Nations with the most economic freedom have
more prosperity, higher incomes (for rich and poor), longer life
expectancies, better health, and more robust political and civil rights.</blockquote>

The fundamental political conflict in America today is, as it has
been for a century, individualism vs. collectivism. Does the
individual’s life belong to him—or does it belong to the group, the
community, society, or the state? With government expanding ever more
rapidly—seizing and spending more and more of our money on “entitlement”
programs and corporate bailouts, and intruding on our businesses and
lives in increasingly onerous ways—the need for clarity on this issue
has never been greater. Let us begin by defining the terms at hand.<br />
Individualism is the idea that the individual’s life belongs to him
and that he has an inalienable right to live it as he sees fit, to act
on his own judgment, to keep and use the product of his effort, and to
pursue the values of his choosing. It’s the idea that the individual is
sovereign, an end in himself, and the fundamental unit of moral concern.
This is the ideal that the American Founders set forth and sought to
establish when they drafted the Declaration and the Constitution and
created a country in which the individual’s rights to life, liberty,
property, and the pursuit of happiness were to be recognized and
protected.<br />

<strong>• University of Pennsylvania professor <a href="https://www.lisaservon.com/">Lisa Servon</a> went to work as a
teller at a check-cashing store to find out why customers use the
service.</strong>
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>• Prevailing wisdom holds that customers would be better
served by using a bank. But Servon found that check cashers were
frequently cheaper and served customers' needs better than
banks.</strong>
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>• Three common reasons customers cited for using a check
casher over a bank were cost, transparency, and service.</strong>
</div>
Lisa Servon couldn't kick the nagging feeling that the financial
elite had it all wrong.
<br />
The prevailing wisdom from bankers and policy makers went like
this: People who used alternative financial services — like check
cashers and payday lenders — were making expensive and unwise
decisions. If we could just educate the <a href="https://www.economicinclusion.gov/whatis/">"unbanked" and
"underbanked"</a> and usher them into the modern financial system
with a bank account, their fortunes would surely improve.<br />

Two years ago, Swiss voters had a national referendum that would
have set the nation’s minimum wage at $25 an hour, ten dollars more than
what is being proposed in the United States. I’ll bet you’ll never
guess how the referendum came out. It went down to defeat, big time.
76.3 percent of voters voted no to the referendum.<br />
Why did Swiss citizens reject that very generous minimum-wage
proposal? Was it because they don’t like money? Was it because they hate
the poor? Wasn’t it because they believe in the employer exploitation
of the worker? Or was it because they like subsistence wages?<br />
Actually, it was none of the above. The Swiss rejected the proposal
because they’re smart, at least when it comes to economic principles. Or
to be more specific, the 76.3% who voted against the proposal are
smart.<br />
<br />

Railing against Russia’s annexation of Crimea and vowing that the
United States would never recognize Russia’s “illegal occupation,” Vice
President Biden <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/23/world/europe/biden-ukraine.html?ref=world">angrily exclaimed</a> yesterday that “no nation has the right to simply grab land from another.”<br />
Oh?<br />
What about the U.S. government’s annexation of the northern half of
Mexico or, to be more precise, the land grab that encompassed
California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, and parts of
Wyoming and Colorado?<br />
Now that’s one great big land grab, especially compared to the much smaller land grab involving Crimea.<br />

In a truly remarkable bit of honesty and candor regarding the U.S.
national-security establishment, new Senate minority leader Charles
Schumer has accused President-elect Trump of “being really dumb.”<br />
Was Schumer referring to Trump’s ideology, philosophy, or knowledge about economics or foreign policy?<br />
None of the above. According to an article in <em>The Hill,</em> he told Rachel Maddow on her show that Trump was dumb for taking on the CIA and questioning its conclusions regarding Russia.<br />
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have
six ways from Sunday at getting back at you…. He’s being really dumb to
do this.”<br />

A
positive side effect of President Obama’s duplicity with the
anti-Israeli United Nations vote was the attention it brought to what
the U.N. is actually doing and how it is wasting taxpayer dollars and
undermining liberty. If the U.S. Congress had it to do all over again
with the knowledge of what the U.N., the International Monetary Fund
(IMF), the <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/world-bank-group/">World Bank</a> and the <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/organization-for-economic-cooperation-and-developm/">Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development</a>
would actually do — in contrast with their promises — would it have
ever agreed to their creation, let alone provide taxpayer dollars to
support them? The answer is clearly “no.” That’s despite the widespread
belief that problems can be solved by setting up governmental and
international organizations, staffed by experts who will make things
much better — as if the mere statement of good intentions solves
everything.<br />

Governments occasionally pass laws with good
intent but which backfire because they were poorly thought out and
created perverse incentives, making the situation far worse.<br />
The
current effort to stop money laundering has turned into a disaster for
the global poor, who can no longer get bank accounts or easily and
legally transfer money (remittances) to their relatives in poor
countries. The anti-money laundering laws and regulations have made
international trade and investment more expensive, thus perpetuating
poverty. They have destroyed much legitimate financial privacy, and they
have undermined the rule of law by destroying due process. Serious drug
dealers, criminals, tax evaders and terrorists can find plenty of legal
and illegal ways to launder money.<br />

If
you were going to start a new business in the United States that was
not location dependent, what state would choose? Countries, states and
cities all compete to attract businesses — both large and small. More
businesses mean more jobs and usually greater prosperity.<br />
On Feb.
8, the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council (SBE) released its
annual ranking of the 50 states “according to 55 policy measures,
including a wide array of tax, regulatory, and government spending
measures.” The findings were not surprising — Nevada, Texas, South
Dakota, Wyoming and Florida were at the top, while Vermont, Minnesota,
New York, New Jersey and California were at the bottom. What is
troublesome is that year after year the business-unfriendly states do so
little to improve their rankings. As the author of the study, Raymond
J. Keating, chief economist of the SBE Council, noted: “Too many elected
officials choose to ignore the basic economic realities of how
government affects entrepreneurship, business, and investment.”<br />

When Karl Marx died in March 1883, only about a dozen people
attended his funeral at a cemetery in London, England, including family
members. Yet, for more than a century after his death – and even until
today – there have been few thinkers whose ideas have been as
influential on various aspects of modern world history. Indeed, as some
have said, no other faith or belief-system has had such a worldwide
impact as Marxism, since the birth of Christianity and the rise of
Islam.<br />
Marx’s critique of capitalism and capitalist society has shaped much
of the social thinking in Western countries that led to the welfare
state and extensive government intervention into economic affairs. And
it served as the ideological banner that inspired the socialist and
communist revolutions of the twentieth century – beginning in Russia in
1917, and still retaining political power today in such countries as
Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, and China.<br />
In the name of the Marxian vision of a “new society” and a “new man,”
socialist and communist revolutions led to the mass murders,
enslavement, torture and starvation of tens of millions of people around
the world. Historians have estimated that in the attempt to make that
“new” and “better” socialist world, communist regimes have killed as
many as, maybe, 200 million people in the twentieth century.<br />

It took only a few hours after two Islamic State suicide bombings
ripped apart the departure hall of Brussels Airport and subway cars in
central Brussels for Sen. Ted Cruz to offer a “do something” solution to
the threat of home-grown terrorism lurking in America’s midst. Taking
to Facebook, the Republican presidential candidate said enough was
enough: “We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim
neighborhoods before they become radicalized.” The “constitutional
conservative,” however, wasn’t done. “The days of the United States
voluntarily surrendering to the enemy to show how progressive and
enlightened we can be are at an end. Our country is at stake.”<br />
Flipping through the opening pages of Peter Bergen’s <i>United States of Jihad: Investigating America’s Homegrown Terrorists,</i>
you come across Friedrich Nietzsche’s oft-quoted warning, in all caps:<br />

<blockquote>
“After five years of Hitler’s dictatorship, the <a href="https://goo.gl/ONDCLq" target="_blank">Nazi police had won the FBI’s seal of approval</a>.”— Historian Robert Gellately<br />
“<a href="http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/07/15/gestapo-america/" target="_blank">Adolf Hitler is alive and well in the United States</a>,
and he is fast rising to power.”—Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, on the danger posed by the FBI to our civil
liberties</blockquote>
Lately, there’s been a lot of rhetoric comparing Donald Trump to
Adolf Hitler. The concern is that a Nazi-type regime may be rising in
America.<br />
That process, however, began a long time ago.<br />
In fact, following the second World War, the U.S. government
recruited Hitler’s employees, adopted his protocols, embraced his
mindset about law and order, implemented his tactics in incremental
steps, and began to lay the foundations for the rise of the Fourth
Reich.<br />
Sounds far-fetched? Read on. It’s all documented.<br />

Is the protection of domestic jobs more important than the protection of individual rights?<br />
Whatever the justifications for, or consequences of, economic
protectionism, it is an inescapable fact that as a policy that denies
individuals the opportunity to trade freely, it is not compatible with
individual rights. Confronted with this fact, advocates of protectionism
argue that tariffs and quotas “protect” American businesses and
American jobs from foreign competition, and protecting jobs is more
important than protecting individual rights.<br />
But what they offer us is a false alternative. In truth, protection
of individual rights is an essential precondition for the very existence
of jobs, as well as the only condition upon which having jobs is
worthwhile. Without individual rights, jobs are worth nothing, just like
they did in Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany or Ancient Egypt. Without
individual rights, jobs are nothing more than the assigned toil of
slaves.<br />
