Mises Institute

So it's cool seeing him come around here.

I believe he went the whole Mises Institute route.

So kind of cool to see where he is at now.

So I don't know.

Although I don't know much about the American Conservative.

He writes frequently in the history of American Conservatism and Libertarianism with bylines, the American Conservative.

The American Mind, Modern Age, and the Mises Institute.

So cool to see them doing big stuff.

And nowhere is it more evident than in young women's penchant to desire mental health diagnoses as a means of personal gain.

It also gives us the political solution to the problem, a policy agenda of returning in the direction of the original American consensus, beginning with a return to sound money.

So this morning, I want to talk to Dr. Jonathan Newman.

He is a Henry Hazlitt Research Fellow at the Mises Institute.

He has a doctorate in economics, and this is kind of his thing because he has spent many years looking at collectivist, socialist, communist movements and their failures.

So we thought it would be kind of interesting to get his perspective on today's current socialist actions in the U.S. and talk about how maybe it parallels or diverges with previous socialist attempts to change American government and society.

And so we just get this unending spiral of interventions on top of interventions.

And sooner or later, you get socialism because socialism is when all of these production decisions, the entire market has been displaced by the government.

And so that's why here at the Mises Institute, we talk about how Interventionism is not a static sort of result.

It's not something where you can just sit and chug along nicely, but what happens is one intervention begets another, and so we call it a road towards socialism.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Minor Issues Podcast.

I'm Mark Thornton at the Mises Institute.

We needed higher oil prices.

I know nobody wants higher oil prices except the people in the oil industry.

Free markets and free market prices and free market policies are inherently the best way to conserve all of our resources into the future.

Thanks for watching this episode of the Minor Issues Podcast.

I'm Mark Thornton at the Mises Institute.

Great to have you here.

And my next question actually is, in addition to Max and Bitcoiners and all these people who respect you, another group is the Mises Institute, the world-leading Austrian economics think tank, and also the Gold Bugs.

And I call them the Mount Rushmore of libertarian podcasters.

Dave Smith, Tom Woods, Clint Russell.

I'm doing good.

Um, the, the Mises Institute had a revisionist history conference a couple weekends ago.

It was actually the weekend that my, my organization was having a, um, our event, and two speakers, they still haven't uploaded the video from.

One is Ron Unz, because apparently somebody asked Ron Unz about, um, uh, that, that happening in, uh, this thing that happened in the 1940s during the war that we're supposed to, um-
