by Keith Knight | Sep 14, 2022 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/VJqy-qP5ZtU Listing the main ways that society appears to treat men less fairly than women requires only a little more reflection to complete. Topping the list: a. Men are overrepresented at the bottom levels of society. They do most of the nasty, dangerous work, are much more likely to be homeless or imprisoned, and much more likely to kill themselves. b. Men spend much more time on the job than women. c. The law heavily favors women in child custody and child support disputes. d. Men are more likely to be victims of violent crime. e. Men are much more likely to die in...

How Free Markets Make Poor Countries Wealthy (feat. Benjamin Powell, Ph.D.)

by Keith Knight | Sep 10, 2022 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/fmh1JeGAVP0 Here’s why: almost a hundred years ago, the Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises explained that socialism, even if run by benevolent despots and populated with workers willing to work for the common good, could still not match capitalism’s performance. Socialism requires abolishing private property in the means of production. But private property is necessary to have the free exchange of labor, capital, and goods that establish proper prices. Without proper prices, socialist planners could not know which consumer goods were needed or how best to produce...

A Permanent Solution to Deep State Tyranny

by Keith Knight | Sep 4, 2022 | Featured Articles

The following is a section from The Voluntaryist Handbook, organized by Keith Knight. One need look no further than to the examples of North and South Korea or East and West Germany to see that the freer people are, the wealthier they can become through mutually beneficial voluntary exchange. These two controlled experiments, where mostly free markets competed against mostly state-controlled economies, have yielded an undeniable result: the more free, the more prosperous. Maybe that was then, and this is now, and things are totally different, which is why we need a big government? Maybe we...

Freedom = Social Cooperation = Superabundance (feat. Marian Tupy)

https://youtu.be/L1WIoXexTmw After analyzing the prices of hundreds of commodities, goods, and services spanning two centuries, Marian Tupy and Gale Pooley found that resources became more abundant as the population grew. That was especially true when they looked at “time prices,” which represent the length of time that people must work to buy something. - Superabundance.com Marian L. Tupy is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute’s Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, coauthor of Ten Global Trends Every Smart Person Should Know: And Many Others You Will Find Interesting, coauthor of the...

Why Was Trump Never Impeached for Murdering Civilians?

by Keith Knight | Sep 2, 2022 | Blog

The corporate press, along with university professors, Democrats, intelligence agencies, Hollywood elites, blue check Twitter, Regime Libertarians, Regime Republicans, and k-12 school teachers often have no quarrels about saying Trump is evil. Usual reasons include: conspiring with Russia to steal the 2016 election, quid-pro-quoing Ukraine via phone, January 6th, and conspiring with Russia again in 2020 with Hunter Biden's laptop. Why focus on trivial (not to mention fake) nonsense when we have documented evidence that he took part in operations that murdered civilians? Because the...

How to Tell if a Politician is Economically Literate (feat. Per Bylund, Ph.D.)

by Keith Knight | Aug 30, 2022 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/x8g6W0JRV1s Core to understanding the economy is recognizing that it is about human actions and interactions. In fact, the economy is people acting and interacting. It is little or nothing else. We tend to think of the economy in terms of resources, machines, businesses, and perhaps jobs. But that is a simplification that is misleading. Those are important, but they are all means to ends. The economy is about using means to attain ends. To put it differently, it is how we act to satisfy our wants, to make us better off . Simply put, the economy is about creating value. - Per...

The Most Important Graph in the World & Why Socialists Hate It

by Keith Knight | Aug 27, 2022 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/2QrYDV9QFTg (Source: Mark Perry at the American Institute for Economic Research) Over that period (1980-2018), the world’s population rose by 71.2 percent, yet the average working time required to earn enough money to buy 50 kinds of energy, food, raw materials, and metals fell by 71.6 percent. Put differently, the amount of effort required to buy 1 basket of the 50 commodities in 1980 bought 3.5 baskets in 2018. As we will explain, abundance occurs when the nominal hourly income increases faster than the nominal price of a resource. Furthermore, when the abundance of...
