To kick off the New Year, Jeff recently had the opportunity to address a Discord channel dedicated to Austrian Economics (https://discord.gg/gSmCRRr). His talk focused on the state of economics generally, whether the profession is serving society, how economists failed us throughout the Covid hysteria, and especially the health and relevance of the Austrian school. This is a great survey of the role economics (and economists) should play in society.

Also includes questions from the audience, emceed by channel host JW Rich.

The State of Austrian Economics

Historian David Beito has a new book from the Independent Institute titled, "The New Deal's War on the Bill of Rights." He joins Bob to discuss issues such as the Japanese concentration camps and the government's mass surveillance of telegrams.

The State is tightening its stranglehold on its own narrative as its web of lies unravels. The government's lapdogs in the news media continue to bark and howl on TV even though a majority of American households have cut the cord. And of course, nothing resembling the truth can be heard in the softball press conferences at the White House and the Federal Reserve.

Suppression and censorship are the tools of a regime that is fearful and hostile to the truth. Perhaps the easiest way to discern the truth in all the chaos is to doubt everything the government says.

Featuring Ron Paul, Tom DiLorenzo, Daniel McAdams, and Ryan McMaken. This event was co-hosted by the Mises Institute and the Ron Paul Institute, and recorded in Lake Jackson, Texas, on April 13, 2024.

Renato Moicano Cares About His Country More Than Sohrab Ahmari

Mark Thornton launches a new podcast called Unanimity: Where Thoughts Matter. Exploring basic concepts of the world and humanity, he hopes to unlock the mystery of widespread disagreeableness in society. Please subscribe to this monthly podcast at https://Mises.org/Unanimity.

Unanimity will not replace the weekly Minor Issues podcast (https://Mises.org/MinorIssues).

Unanimity: Where Thoughts Matter

Introducing the Unanimity Podcast

In this week's episode, Mark takes another look at the Producer Price Index. As suggested in an episode from September 2023 (see https://Mises.org/MI_35), the PPI has indeed leveled off and is no longer "contributing" to the Federal Reserve's "Immaculate Disinflation." Mark points out that wholesale price increases are already in the long PPI "pipeline" and will likely make the Fed's announced plans fall apart.
