Secession is the smart and peaceful solution to irreconcilable political differences. I wrote a short essay about five especially bad arguments you often hear against secession, and the Libertarian Institute published it!
Check it out here, and if you liked it, you’ll surely like more of their content! They publish greats like Scott Horton, Ron Paul, Jim Bovard, Sheldon Richman, and more! Support them if you can!
Paul “the Internet is not a big deal” Krugman has stated that it’s paranoid to worry about Central Bank Digital Currencies. See the article at this link.
Considering his track record, did he not realize that his statement makes it more likely that concern is justified?
A bunch of topics all together this time. What is the Macro Trick? It’s the combination of things that are fundamentally different under one name. It’s a tool that many tyrants and would-be tyrants use to take control of politics, economics, and culture.
It feeds the demand for administrators, technocrats, and other “experts.” In this video, I have a breakdown of some egregious examples of this trick, as well as what we can do to fight it.

The concept of exchange value versus use value has kind of gone away in modern economic analysis, probably for good reason. At first glance, it seems fairly odd to separate goods that give you direct value from those that give you value indirectly.
The concept also doesn’t mesh well with a modern Austrian “value-scale” analysis, as seen in this article by Bob Murphy. Where a good fits on your value scale is determined by what need it serves, regardless of what exactly you intend to do with it.
Yet the concept is still present in Menger’s Principles of Economics, which I’m reading right now.
