2025-10-26T19:19:33Z

We have 9+ examples of govts cutting spending in crises & not hitting recession. Canada (1995-97) didn't just avoid it—it outdid all the G7 in GDP, unemployment, deficits, inflation over the next decade.

Krugman calls them exceptions which were due to low interest rates and/or net export booms, but as it turns out those two so-called "exceptions" actually came from slashing spending! Bob also covers why Hoover’s 1932 tax hike (not cutting spending) tanked the economy.

Finally he goes through different scenarios to see if all these still hold, from today's floating exchange rate's system up until a 100% reserve #Bitcoin standard.

2025-08-08T10:13:00Z

#Mises explains:

"The abolition of slavery and serfdom is to be attributed neither to the teachings of theologians and moralists nor to weakness or generosity on the part of the masters…. Servile labor disappeared because it could not stand the competition of free labor; its unprofitability sealed its doom in the market economy."

The logic is simple, a slave-hunting business, can not operate in a free market since they're paying the price of coercion on top of other expenses. The price of war and guarding can only be paid by the #state. and doesn't that make sense now?

2025-07-12T19:42:55Z

In medieval Ireland, for example, a king was not the head of state but rather a crime-insurer: if someone committed a crime, the first thing that happened was that the king paid the "insurance" benefit to the victim, and then proceeded to force the criminal to pay the king in turn. Restitution to the victim’s insurance company was completely derived from the idea of restitution to the victim.

2025-07-11T12:07:38Z

همچنین تصویر نادرستی وجود داره که آموزش و پرورش دستوری در ذهنمون کرده. و اون اینه که حفظ شدن زبان فارسی، یک مقاومت پایین به بالا بوده! مثل اینکه زبان فارسی در حال سیر قهقرایی بوده و به ناگاه یک افسانه‌سرای چیره‌دست جریان رو برعکس کرده!

اول باید این نکته ذکر بشه که حتی همین حفظ شدن زبان فارسی هم یک چیز نسبیه! مثلا الفبای ما کاملا عربیه و این دلیل خوبی داره که عربیه! چون الفبای پیشین بسیار سخت بوده و ما "سازگار" شدیم. از دلایل عدم وجود مکتوبات از دوران پیش از اسلام هم همین بوده.

از نظر من پشت این حفظ شدن نسبی زبان فارسی هم دلایل سیاسی وجود داشته. همونطور که در مورد مذهب غالب در ایران چنین الگویی وجود داشته. و همونطور که آتاتورک سه ماهه الفبای ترکی رو تغییر داد.

چنان که من خوندم، تاریخ هم پشت این روایته، ولی حتی اگر تاریخ رو در نظر نگیریم کافیه این سوال رو از خودتون پرسین:

آیا در جامعه‌ی عموما دهقانی ایران برای کسی مهم بوده که زبان چیست یا مذهب چیست که حالا روی دیوار غار بن مضارع و ماضی صرف کنند و ریشه‌گیری کنند تا واژه‌ های جدید ساخته شه؟ و آیا در جامعه‌ی امروز با وجود این همه امکانات ارتباطی، هر کس چقدر میتونه روی چیز ها تاثیر بذاره که یک شاعر در قرن ۴ زبانی مرده رو زنده کنه؟

2025-07-11T11:44:13Z

دوگانه‌ی انتقال بهینه در زمان/انتقال بهینه در مکان، که در پول داشتیم، در زبان هم وجود داره. زبان هم به عنوان یک سیستم پیچیده‌ی سازگار با ترجیحات گویشوران سازگاری پیدا میکنه.

خلاصه اگر زبان رو ابزار انتقال معنا در نظر بگیریم، به سمتی مایل میشه که جریان انتقال معنا در اون بیشتره. و من هم فکر میکنم در حال حاظر به هر دلیل، جریان انتقال معنا از مکان به مکانه، و نه از زمان به زمان! همچنین دلیلی دال بر این نمیبینم که در آینده این جریان بیشتر نشه.

من کاملا به کسی که به "کانال تلگرام" میگه "دهلیز تلگرام" احترام میذارم و مادامی که با زور تفنگ نخواد کسی رو به سمتی هل بده مشکلی هم ندارم. چه بسا که این سبب تغییرات جزئی هم بشه. اما در نهایت فکر میکنم اگر کسی دغدغه‌ی زبان داره بهتره که جریان انتقال معنا از گذشته رو بیشتر کنه.

So basically, it refers to the idea that raising your voice (through votes, protests, etc.) isn't likely to lead to major change within the system. The only way to actually change things is to 'vote with your feet' (i.e., leave the system). Leaving fiat currency and entering the Bitcoin system is such an example. Patchwork is another example:

2025-06-07T19:35:29Z

The only viable #libertarian revolution will be a bottom-up, market-driven one. one that's driven by individuals economic incentives.

The beauty is that States recognize the coming catastrophe and kneel to #bitcoin for their survival!

quoting
nevent1q…ke23

States are driven by incentives like any entity. their primary incentives are CRIME and SURVIVAL.

Without a survival threat, they commit crime as deep as they can.

Only deep catastrophe triggers economic reforms (seen globally in 20th/21st century market reforms). After all, why grant freedom when things are "passing"?

Reforms aren't about liberty, but the political class's recognition of crisis and act of survival.

#grownostr #libertariansim

quoting
nevent1q…kslu

The core flaw of #libertarianism isn't its vision, but how it tries to get there.

A "top-down" political strategy–voting–is ill-suited. Libertarianism truly hinges on self-regulation, NOT MERELY LESS GOVERNMENT.

Without mature private entities to step in, non-interventionism in foreign policy in a world that Putin and Bin Laden live is not an ideal.

That's why a libertarian shouldn't engage in favor of any politician.

2025-05-06T15:37:14Z

Contrary to what many libertarians believe, there is such a thing as "regulation" in an Ancap society—it's just way more efficient and market-driven than government regulation.

It’s not like anyone can just keep a nuclear bomb in their mom's basement. because no insurance company would cover that! On the other hand, some weapons are only used for defense, so insurance companies would charge much lower premiums for people owning those.

2025-05-06T09:18:59Z

Last week I read "Chaos Theory" by Bob Murphy, which has two essays: "Private Law" and "Private Defense." The first one is super convincing—like, it could even turn a fair-minded commie into an Ancap!

The second essay is good but not as strong; I think it struggles with the Free Riding problem. It would’ve been more compelling if Bob had framed it like, "Imagine there are ten thousand Liechtensteins in Europe," and then brought in private armies and insurance companies to avoid geographical free riding. Still, I definitely recommend reading it. Check it out here:

2025-03-25T14:32:20Z

So called Economists in academia try to understand complex systems by looking at their outputs and guessing patterns—foolish, arrogant, or both! Engineers, on the other hand, analyze complex systems by studying their smallest active parts and building up from there.

That’s why more engineers should read #Mises. He was the first to truly grasp that human society is a complex system and must be studied like one—by understanding human action first and building logical conclusions from the ground up!

Ironically, economists don’t actually analyze data to find the truth. They start with their favorite policy (leftist education, right-wing tariffs, etc.) and then torture the data to fit their agenda. That’s why they can’t agree on anything!

quoting
note1d3r…807j

Next time you find yourself doubting Bitcoin thanks to the 'brilliant experts' over at MIT, Harvard, and the like, just remember that Paul Samuelson habitually overestimated Soviet economic growth (for 20 years, from 1961 to 1980).

Here’s a nice table summarizing the numbers relayed to millions of students over the decades:

Levy and Peart find that Samuelson was hardly alone. Successive editions of competing textbooks were also stubbornly optimistic about the USSR.

And partly they’re right: Stillman’s argument for international hegemony and interventions has been to protect American businesses operating abroad. But one might ask, why not hire private armies to do that? It's not about defending a country's borders; it's about having the right to protect a business abroad. Private armies would likely have been more peace-driven, as they had no incentive to conquer for political reasons, and they would have been much more efficient.

... There remains a credible hypothesis that #China's problems were as much financial as they were resource-based. For one thing, the unitary structure of the Empire prevented the kind of fiscal #competition that drove financial innovation in #Renaissance #Europe and beyond. Additionally, the ease with which the Empire could finance its deficits by #printing #money discouraged the development of European-style capital markets.

Coinage was also more readily available in China than in Europe, thanks to the trade surplus with the West. In short, the Middle Kingdom had far fewer incentives to develop commercial bills, bonds, and equities. When modern financial institutions eventually arrived in China in the late nineteenth century, they were introduced as part of Western imperialism, and, as we’ll see, were always vulnerable to patriotic backlashes against foreign influence.

Has anyone explored using Bisq's escrow mechanism beyond currency exchanges? Locking Bitcoin in multisig escrow creates a new form of trust—why not apply it to everything, like online stores? This could eliminate third parties, reduce costs, and build trust directly between sellers, buyers, and even deliverers. Thoughts?

I’d argue that over-taxing #Bitcoin won’t be the state's way to fight it. Either they’re too smart to not to do it, or they’ll lose. Imagine what would happen if they over-taxed it—people would rely more on #P2P methods to buy and sell. Since it’s essentially a decentralized black market with no central authority, the price would rise significantly—not in the short term, but inevitably in the long run. It would be like the Prohibition era, but even harder for the state to control. This would be even more true in countries with dysfunctional governments. The same thing couldn’t happen with gold—there was no easy way to verify its authenticity. But with Bitcoin, don't trust, verify!

2025-02-03T09:52:23Z

The Trudeau government’s decision to ban gasoline-powered cars by 2035 in the drive to “net zero” emissions is part of a global policy agenda kickstarted by a 2018 “Special Report” issued by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The report, titled Global Warming of 1.5°C, was commissioned to study the potential benefits of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius rather than the 2.0°C target stated in the Paris Agreement.

By coincidence, the same weekend the UN released its “Special Report,” Yale economist William Nordhaus won the Nobel Memorial Prize for his pioneering work on the economics of climate change. Major media treated the two events as complementary, assuming Nordhaus’ work supported the 1.5°C goal. On the contrary, his modeling work projected that the “optimal” amount of global warming by the year 2100 would be 3.5°C, a full two degrees higher than the popular target. In fact, Nordhaus’ model estimated that a 1.5°C ceiling would be so harmful to the economy that it would be better for humanity if governments did nothing at all about climate change rather than pursue such a draconian policy.

2025-01-26T17:01:53Z

Horatio Alger Jr. (January 13, 1832 – July 18, 1899) was an American author who wrote young adult novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to middle-class security and comfort through good works. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on the United States from 1868 through to his death in 1899.

High-brows turn up their noses at Horatio Alger's philosophy. Yet Alger succeeded better than anybody else in stressing the most characteristic point of capitalist society.

Capitalism is a system under which everybody has the chance of acquiring wealth; it gives everybody unlimited opportunity. Not everybody, of course, is favored by good luck. Very few become millionaires. But everybody knows that strenuous effort—and nothing less than strenuous effort—pays.

All roads are open to the smart youngster. He is optimistic in the awareness of his own strength. He has self-confidence and is full of hope. And as he grows older and realizes that many of his plans have been frustrated, he has no cause for despair. His children will start the race again, and he does not see any reason why they should not succeed where he himself failed.

Life is worth living because it is full of promise.

2025-01-25T10:18:58Z

Statists claim "The government creates debt and outlines the path for development. If the private sector follows this development path, much of the created money is absorbed through the resulting economic growth and the taxes generated from it, which helps control inflation. In essence, what can provide citizens with benefits beyond what the free market offers are the secondary advantages that arise when the government aggregates small revenues. This is something market advocates often overlook."

But an unanswered question remains: why is it only the government that can chart such a path? Are private investors too blind or incapable to recognize these opportunities themselves? This question can generally be raised about all government interventions that aim to achieve Pareto improvements. If the ultimate goal is to improve overall welfare, and this involves improving the situation for one group (Group A) at the expense of another (Group B) in the short term, why can’t Group A persuade Group B to voluntarily give up their short-term interests?

Interestingly, the market operates in the opposite way. The market forces investors to redirect capital from less productive sectors (in the long term) to more productive ones. In doing so, it achieves the very goal that government advocates argue for, but in a more efficient and non-coercive manner.

Just in case you didn't know "... By the time Ulbricht graduated, he had become interested in #libertarian economic theory and adhered to the political philosophy of Ludwig von #Mises."

"Society cannot contribute anything to the breeding and growing of ingenious men. A creative genius cannot be trained; there are no schools for creativeness.
A genius is precisely a person who defies all schools and rules, deviates from the traditional roads of routine, and opens up new paths through land inaccessible before. A genius is always a teacher, never a pupil—always self-made.
He does not owe anything to the favor of those in power. However, the government can create conditions that paralyze the efforts of a creative spirit and prevent him from rendering useful services to the community."

If we take Hayek's view of the price system as a system of telecommunications, one could imagine #Bitcoin as the most censorship-resistant and unmanipulable communication tool humanity has ever known or used. In other words, Bitcoin is nostrer than #Nostr!

"The most significant fact about this system is the economy of knowledge with which it operates, or how little the individual participants need to know in order to be able to take the right action. In abbreviated form, by a kind of symbol, only the most essential information is passed on and passed on only to those concerned. It is more than a metaphor to describe the price system as a kind of machinery for registering change, or a system of telecommunications which enables individual producers to watch merely the movement of a few pointers, as an engineer might watch the hands of a few dials, in order to adjust their activities to changes of which they may never know more than is reflected in the price movement."

2025-01-16T20:23:33Z

The core of Mises's Bureaucracy is this: the more power state bureaucracies hold, the less democratic the system becomes. Why? Because political bodies (like Congress) delegate decisions to external commissions. These commissions aren't elected by the people but by other bureaucrats, making them unaccountable to public welfare. This fosters irresponsibility and shifts toward totalitarianism—just as it did in Weimar Germany before Hitler’s rise.

Published in 1944 amid widespread socialist sentiment, Mises added a 1962 intro noting socialism’s decline in favor of interventionism. U.S. bureaucracy had grown but remained less pervasive than elsewhere, preserving liberalism. He argued trends change and America’s choices would influence the world—a prediction proven true in later decades.

History + Comedy = Rothbard

If anything is simultaneously obvious and brilliant, it is Rothbard’s insight that governments are glorified gangs of criminals. How can anyone who knows the basic facts of history disagree? If you strip virtually any chapter of world history down to a postcard, it’s a story of vicious murderers killing each other in order to enslave nearby civilians. Nearly every guy nicknamed “the Great” was a serial killer on a massive scale – and not the nice kind, either.

If all this is so obvious, why don’t most works of history have a Rothbardian flavor? The answer, in short, is that most historians are serious. When they tell the story of William the Conqueror, for example, they take a considered, pompous tone, and treat all the key historical players with respect. They’ve usually got their facts straight, of course. But they don’t want to write the “story of William the Mass Murderer,” so they briefly mention his body count, then move on to William’s land titling policy.

Read the below argument of the great Murray in The Ethics of Liberty and tell me isn't he undoubtedly talking about Hoppe?

- It might be thought that the libertarian, the person committed to the "natural system of liberty" (in Adam Smith's phrase), almost by definition holds the goal of liberty as his highest political end. But this is often not true; for many libertarians, the desire for self-expression, or for bearing witness to the truth of the excellence of liberty, frequently takes precedence over the goal of the triumph of liberty in the real world. Yet surely, as will be seen further below, the victory of liberty will never come to pass unless the goal of victory in the real world takes precedence over more esthetic and passive considerations.

This entire battle between Hoppean Ancaps and Milei is indeed fun to follow. The argument "If Milei had defaulted on the debt, he wouldn't last a single month" is probably valid. On the other hand, if he fails to deliver on his promises — which he hasn't so far, and Hoppeans are right to point that out — it wouldn't end well for libertarianism.

Also this:

quoting nevent1q…z8ke

Japan was the first major global power to develop a comprehensive social security system, expanding its principles and achieving remarkable success.

The country became a global leader in life expectancy and was also at the forefront of education. By the mid-1970s, about 90% of its population had completed high school—a stark contrast to the UK, where the figure was only 32%. In terms of social equality, Japan outpaced all Western nations except Sweden. It also managed the largest pension fund in the world, allowing its retirees to enjoy generous benefits and a steady income throughout long years of retirement. Notably, Japan accomplished this while allocating just 9% of its national income to social insurance in 1975, compared to Sweden’s 31%. In the UK, the burden of taxes and social security was roughly half that amount. Japan had successfully made welfare accessible to all, all while its economy grew rapidly enough to become the second-largest globally by 1968. A year earlier, Herman Kahn had predicted that by 2000, Japan’s per capita income would surpass that of the United States. Indeed, Yakagawa Natsuhiro stated that when accounting for additional benefits, "the real income of a Japanese worker is now at least three times that of an American worker."

The extraordinary success of Japan’s social security system was so profound that by the 1970s, the Japanese enjoyed the highest life expectancy in the world. However, this longevity, coupled with a declining birthrate, resulted in the world’s oldest population, with 21% of its citizens aged 65 or older. According to international economic research by Nakame, by 2044, the elderly population is projected to equal the working population. Consequently, Japan is now facing a deep structural crisis in its social security system, which was not designed to handle such demographic challenges. Despite raising the retirement age, the government has yet to resolve the issues within the public pension system. The situation has been exacerbated by many self-employed individuals and students being unable to afford their social security contributions. Furthermore, the universal health insurance program has been running a budget deficit since the 1990s. Today, Japan’s social security budget consumes three-quarters of its tax revenue, and its national debt has surpassed one quadrillion yen, or approximately 170% of its gross domestic product.

Note: The statistics cited are from 2008, making them 17 years old.

Pt1- The Gambler's Rise to Power
Law’s journey began not as a banker or statesman but as a fugitive. After killing a man in a duel in England, he fled to the Continent, where his sharp mind and gambling prowess earned him notoriety. He believed he had unlocked the secret of wealth creation: money wasn’t just gold or silver but a tool to drive economic growth if issued judiciously.

In early 18th-century France, Law found his golden opportunity. The country was drowning in debt after years of war under Louis XIV, and its financial system was teetering. Law convinced the regent, Philippe d’Orléans, that his ideas could save France. With his charm and persuasive arguments, Law was appointed to lead the newly founded Banque Générale, where he introduced paper money—a revolutionary concept at the time.

Pt2- Building the Mississippi Dream
Law’s ambitions didn’t stop at banking. He acquired control of the Mississippi Company, which held monopolistic rights over trade in France’s colonies in the Americas, including the vast Louisiana Territory. To finance this venture, Law issued shares in the company, payable in his paper money. He promised extraordinary riches, painting Louisiana as a land of untapped gold and fertile opportunity.

The French public, desperate for prosperity, bought into the dream. Share prices skyrocketed, creating a frenzy. Law, now at the height of his influence, consolidated power, becoming France’s de facto finance minister. He centralized control of the economy, merging his bank with the Mississippi Company, and controlled both the issuance of currency and the country’s colonial trade.

John Law is one of history’s most notorious financial manipulators—a man whose bold ideas and reckless ambition left a trail of destruction. Known as the architect of the first major economic bubble, the Mississippi Bubble, Law’s obsession with turning paper money into a tool of unchecked wealth creation plunged France into chaos. His schemes not only collapsed the economy but also deepened the mistrust between the people and the monarchy, laying the groundwork for the French Revolution. Law wasn’t a visionary but a gambler who leveraged his charm and influence to gain power, leaving behind one of history’s greatest cautionary tales of greed and overreach.

According to the 2018 trustees’ report, Medicare faces a $37 trillion unfunded liability over the next 75 years, and Social Security $13 trillion. None of this is part of the $34 trillion U.S. debt as of 2024.

"But why worry? Taxpayers pay in now, then get paid later when they're old. Problem solved!" Now let’s look at reality:

1- Aging Population: In case anyone missed it, populations in most developed countries are aging fast. Fewer workers supporting more retirees. So the math here is simple: fewer people paying into the system, more people taking out. What could go wrong?

2- Rising Costs: Medical technology keeps advancing (good for health, bad for budgets), and people live longer than ever. Healthcare and pension costs grow faster than inflation or GDP. But hey, I’m sure "the rich" can foot the bill, right?

3- Economic Shocks: Tax revenue isn’t a guaranteed stream. A recession hits, revenue drops, and obligations like pensions and Medicare don’t magically shrink. So where does the money come from? Print it? Borrow more? Oh wait, we already maxed that strategy.

But sure, keep telling us that unfunded liabilities aren’t a problem. What’s another few trillion, anyway? It’s not like future taxpayers will mind footing the bill for today’s promises.

I’ve never been deeply drawn to mythology, but I’ve noticed the recurring theme of scarcity. In myths and ancient beliefs, there’s always a limited number of divine beings or supernatural forces shaping existence. From the singular, all-powerful gods of monotheistic traditions to the pantheons of ancient Greece or Norse mythology, these figures are always finite.

This scarcity is what made myths so captivating. Imagine if there were thousands of Zeuses or Thors—what would happen to the sense of wonder? The uniqueness would fade, and with it, the awe that draws people to these stories.

For the first time in human history, though, we have something in the material world that’s provably scarce—and yet, some people still fail to appreciate its beauty!

Antitrust advocates argue that monopolistic practices by big companies lead to unfair competition, discouraging investment in other businesses. But here's the reality: dominant companies usually rise to the top because they outperform their competitors.

While antitrust measures might give smaller players a temporary boost, the market naturally gravitates toward those offering the best value. This is especially true in tech, an evolving industry where the market structure often supports one or two leaders. Things may change in the future, but for now, that’s how it works.

History backs this up. Time and again, we’ve seen new entrepreneurs with zero market share dethrone dominant players through innovation. But in the past 40 years, there hasn’t been a single U.S. antitrust case where government intervention caused smaller players to overtake the leader. That’s capitalism: small players stay small unless they deliver something truly exceptional!
