{Mises Media | 31 July 2024}

What has been the rhetoric and what has been the reality of trade policy? Where do we stand at this point in time? Why don’t trade agreements work? Where should we concentrate our efforts in the future if we want to champion this fight?

Excellent treatment, and one of the most important topics in all of Austrian theory. Even if you don't understand all the microscopic details of the theory of money, banking and interest, you probably have the general gist of it just from intuition as long as you're thinking straight. But explaining the role of the entrepreneur, and why it is so indispensable to any kind of non-trivial economy, is not so easy. The Austrian account of the entrepreneur is one of the crown-jewels of Austrian theory -- if you don't understand why we need entrepreneurs, you don't really understand why [URL="https://mises.org/library/book/socialism-economic-and-sociological-analysis"]socialism is impossible. (Quick summary) If you watch nothing else in this series, watch this lecture!

"Uncertainty is more fundamental than proponents of AI give it credit for. There is no reason to believe that Large Language Models are capable of replacing the unique function performed by entrepreneurs in the market economy." - Matthew McCaffrey

Great quote!

Cronyism in America: The Nation’s First Big Business | Patrick Newman

{Mises Media | 01 August 2024}

The task of the economic historian that views government regulation through the lens of cronyism is to uncover the actual motivations—not the stated motivations—behind legislation and reveal who really benefited.

“Malinformation is information which may be true, but causes the receiver, the recipient of that malinformation, to become more distrustful of the government. I guarantee that you all have heard a bucket load of malinformation over the last couple of days.”

This was excellent. Slow start, you can skip ahead several minutes.

Below is some chicken-scratch I jotted down while listening to this lecture. I started taking notes because this topic, as he admits part-way through the lecture, is next-door to spiritual warfare. I know that the term "spiritual warfare" sounds woo-woo to most people, even people who are unfazed by the woo-woo sound of "psychological warfare". But just as silly as the misconception of psychological warfare as being a staring-match between a Russian and an American psychologist seated across a table, so silly is the idea of spiritual warfare as being angels wielding flaming swords at each other in a CGI sky-battle, or wizards summoning weather events. Who knows, maybe we will see such strange things in the End Times, but that's not what spiritual warfare is. In some sense, spiritual warfare is the logical continuation of psychological/info-warfare, and other forms of non-tangible warfare, to the infinite limit. In the limit, all of these things really are about good/evil. And they're about whether you will stand for good or evil. Nobody else, just you. When the final test comes, will you stand? Or will you fold? That is the central question of spiritual warfare. Your brawling ability will not help you. Your firearms expertise will not help you. Your stockpiles of food and ammo will not help you. Your knowledge of methods of asymmetric warfare will not help you. Even the contents of the above lecture will not help you. You're going to need a surer foundation. If you think that's not true simply because you've managed to skate this far through life without needing any of that spiritual hullabaloo, try reading a book on history, especially the history of war, especially from the standpoint of the human cost. Or read a biography of the martyrs. Or talk to somebody who has lived through extreme hardship. The skeptics who feel that this is all a bunch of woo-woo stuff are vastly more vulnerable than they realize. There is a storm coming. Only those who have prepared will be able to survive it...
