I am pleased to say that the Mises Institute has published another one of my essays! This time, it’s an essay that organizes and crystallizes my thoughts about Modern Monetary Theory, specifically the negative effects of moving goods from the private sphere to the public sphere.

Find it at the Mises Institute website here.

No Comments on Mises, the Hammer, Part 2: Consumers Rule

I’m going through Human Action again, and this section just jumped out at me. It’s the most succinct, clear, and beautiful takedown of the anti-market mentality, and how democracy is inferior to markets, that I’ve read in a long time.

The corresponding bit of Human Action is here, for your own reading pleasure.
