On this episode of Power & Market, Ryan, Connor, and Tho look at the economic fallout from the war in Iran. How has Iran been able to control the Strait of Hormuz? How might central bankers react? And draft talk out of Washington? Tune in to hear about this and more, as well as a preview of next week’s Libertarian Scholars Conference and Austrian Economics Research Conference.

The Strait of Hormuz is On Fire

As war drums beat again, this time against Iran, we ask ourselves if recklessness from Donald Trump and European and Israeli leaders is pushing us to catastrophe.

Milton Friedman and others tried to explain interest rates using liquidity, economic activity, and inflation expectations. These things, however, only describe interest but do not explain it. Only the Austrian theory of time preference correctly explains interest.

Leftists sarcastically asking where the money for this war will come from are right about the GOP’s hypocrisy, but wrong to imply that it actually means there's plenty to spend on all these government programs. We can’t afford any of this.

On this episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton replays two short interviews: one recorded with Daniela Cambone weeks before the outbreak of war in the Middle East, and another with Dunagun Kaiser recorded days ago as the conflict escalates. Mark breaks down why precious metals are unusually volatile, how war and interventionism collide with inflationary fiat regimes, and why rising interest rates and commodity prices point to a more dangerous long-run trend. He also connects the dots between the Fed’s “liquidity” talk, a deeper leverage problem in finance, and the way wars can be used to divert attention from economic failures at home.
