Saifedean Ammous was recently interviewed on Bitcoin Magazine TV discussing his work on bitcoin mining and stablecoins, as well as the US fiscal outlook. Saif examines whether growing stablecoin demand can reduce price inflation & help US fiscal solvency. He focusses on often-overlooked trade-offs: lost seigniorage, displaced long-term Treasury demand & bank credit, & more fragile short-term funding & rollover risk.
On occasion, and more frequently in recent years, I’ve been asked for links to online Austrian and Austro-libertarian works and resources. It used to be easy to point to Mises.org or other sites, but with the proliferation of groups and websites promoting these ideas, and with the decline or Mises.org’s usability1 and relevance, this has become more of a challenge.
Recent efforts by DavidVeksler (The Liberty Archive: Millions of Words of Libertarian and Austrian Books, Journals, Courses Liberated) and Rahim Taghizadegan (Mises.co: The Original Austrians: A Digital Library of the Austrian School of Economics) inspired me to create a page for Austro-Libertarian Guide and Libraries to link to these and other projects and resources. Check it out. We expect this guide to to develop and grow over time but for now it is a good place to start.
In 1884, a dollar bought roughly what it had bought before the Civil War.
America had fought its bloodiest war, printed greenbacks by the wagonload, and endured a roughly 75% surge in prices. And then the inflation went away. Twenty years later, prices had made the round trip. [continue reading…]
In 2009, the Mises Institute published Property, Freedom, and Society: Essays in Honor of Hans-Hermann Hoppe, a project Guido Hülsmann and and Stephan Kinsella spearheaded to honor Hans Hoppe on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Only a few of the pieces were published independently; we are posting some of them here in this Bookstream.

This is a Polish satirical paraphrase of Trump’s speech to the UN General Assembly on September 22, 2026. The clip compresses the most self-congratulatory stretches of the address into carnival-barker Polish.
In the actual speech, Trump told the hall America is “back” and “stronger today than ever before,” that its economy is “the envy of the world,” its military the most powerful on earth, and that “our energy is fueling the planet.” He claimed that since taking office he had “settled eight wars” (Cambodia–Thailand, Kosovo–Serbia, DRC–Rwanda, Pakistan–India, Armenia–Azerbaijan, Gaza, plus others depending on the list), that almost every one of those countries wrote him a thank-you letter, and that Pakistan’s prime minister credited him with saving 30 million lives. He also threatened to “annihilate the Islamic Republic” if Iran would not take a deal, attacked the UN and the ICC, rejected global taxes and climate/AI governance, and sold border enforcement and cartel strikes as restoration of sovereignty.

Did you also read the recent reports from the Mexican city of Lagos de Moreno? The city apparently has a widespread problem with young people stealing motorcycles, usually under cover of darkness, riding them recklessly and then abandoning them somewhere. The bikes are found the following morning, often damaged. The police know about the problem but appear to have little appetite for tackling it. [continue reading…]

It takes only 32 minutes to get from the Pizza Hut on Camp Lemmonier in Djibouti City to China’s only overseas military base on the northeast side of town. A mere 10 miles separate 4,000 US personnel from the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).
On a clear day, they can probably see each other’s flags without the spy tech.

With the help of Jeff Barr, and of course Doug French, I was able to recently acquire and upload Doug and Deanna French’s very special wedding video—the wedding was held in Bodrum, May 30, 2011, at PFS 2011.

On September 4, 2026, Argentine President Javier Milei made the following statement:
“The Malvinas Islands are Argentine, by history and by right. There is no doubt about this. The islands have been part of Argentine territory since the founding of our nation. In 1833, the United Kingdom occupied the Malvinas, expelled the Argentine authorities, and established a colonial situation that persists to this day.
This implies that the islands’ inhabitants—being a population planted in a usurped territory—do not have a legitimate right to self-determination, and that any argument based on referendums held on the islands is invalid.”
Apparently, Milei uses the criterion of original appropriation of a previously unowned resource (homestead) to establish the legitimacy of land ownership. This legitimacy would be maintained only if the property were voluntarily ceded or exchanged, and lost if taken through coercion. Milei claims the Malvinas Islands fall into this latter category: they were legitimately appropriated by Argentines and coercively seized by the British—who renamed them the Falkland Islands—making their current possession of the archipelago illegitimate. If this is indeed what happened, Milei is right, and the Malvinas are Argentine. Let us examine the facts. [continue reading…]
[S.] M. Carlson’s answer is that no single party, president, or intelligence agency did it alone. The hijacking was carried out over decades by overlapping groups of officials, political families, military contractors, covert operators, propagandists, and wealthy fixers. They lied the country into wars, concealed one another’s crimes, protected useful criminals, and then invited Americans to argue about whether the Republicans or Democrats were to blame. Carlson’s America Hijacked is broadly right about that. It is also a useful introduction for readers who sense that the public history of the United States no longer accounts for the country in which they live. [continue reading…]

“Property does not exist because there are laws, but laws exist because there is property.” — FrédéricBastiat
“Because the concept of property, for instance, is so basic that everyone seems to have some immediate understanding of it, most people never think about it carefully and can, as a consequence, produce at best a very vague definition. But starting from imprecisely stated or assumed definitions and building a complex network of thought upon them can lead only to intellectual disaster. For the original imprecisions and loopholes will then pervade and distort everything derived from them. To avoid this, the concept of property must first be clarified.” —Hans-Hermann Hoppe, TSC, ch. 2
The Property and Freedom Society (PFS; Facebook) stands for an uncompromising intellectual radicalism: for justly acquired private property, freedom of contract, freedom of association—which logically implies the right to not associate with, or to discriminate against—anyone in one's personal and business relations—and unconditional free trade. It condemns imperialism and militarism and their fomenters, and champions peace. It rejects positivism, relativism, and egalitarianism in any form, whether of "outcome" or "opportunity," and it has an outspoken distaste for politics and politicians. As such it seeks to avoid any association with the policies and proponents of interventionism, which Ludwig von Mises identified in 1946 as the fatal flaw in the plan of the many earlier and contemporary attempts by intellectuals alarmed by the rising tide of socialism and totalitarianism to found an anti-socialist ideological movement. Mises wrote: "What these frightened intellectuals did not comprehend was that all those measures of government interference with business which they advocated are abortive. ... There is no middle way. Either the consumers are supreme or the government."
