The Journal of Prices & Markets was published by the Mises Institute Canada from 2013 to 2019. It was spearheaded by the late Redmond Weissenberger¹ and edited by PFS member David Howden. PFS co-founder Doug French served as associate editor and, as President of the Mises Institute US, assisted Weissenberger when he was setting up Mises Canada and the journal.

As Mises Canada as well as Mises Institute US archives may be unreliable, given Weissenberger’s death, the cessation of publication of the journal, and the Mises Institute’s digital and institutional decline,² we are hosting copies of the volumes we could find here. No, I do not know why there are two Summer 2014 issues from different volumes. [continue reading…]

From Hoppe:

Among some followers of Austrianism, the Kant interpretation of Ayn Rand (see, for instance, her Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology [1979]; or For the New Intellectual [1961]) enjoys great popularity. Her interpretation, replete with sweeping denunciatory pronouncements, however, is characterized by a complete absence of any interpretive documentation whatsoever. On Rand’s arrogant ignorance regarding Kant, see B. Goldberg, “Ayn Rand’s ‘For the New Intellectual,’” New Individualist Rev., vol. 1, no. 3 (1961).”¹

New piece by Marco de Wit, “Mises Institute’s 5 Purges: Omitting Jewish Bankers— Five Private Steps in the Statist Censorship Continuum,” Unz Review (July 31, 2026). In my view, it is far too much of a strained effort to connect-the-dots and forge a sweeping, overarching theory to explain a sequence of events, like conspiracy theorists are wont to do, but YMMV. But as I have noted previously, I’ve long had an aversion to conspiracy theorizing, and to what I call conspiratoids or ‘toids.

First, such theories are usually not needed; and they are usually maintained by people who have a naive view of the state. For them, if we can just get rid of the bad guys (and often they are bankers, capitalists, etc.) and elect good guys, things return to normal. ¹

De Wit accuses me of being a Zionist because I had a tweet mocking the claim that Israel “controls” the US. I didn’t know that being skeptical of grand, oversimplified and un-nuanced claims makes one a Zionist. Hunh. You learn something new every day. (The suggestion is silly; of course I’m not a Zionist.) But this type of assertion made with scant evidence is typical of ‘toids. This is what they do: they seize on the slightest evidence to make sweeping conclusions. One wonders why I published things such as Rothbard, The Zionist Conquest of American Opinion (unpublished), “Nozick v. Rothbard on Zionism and Israel (1979),” PFS Blog (July 30, 2026), Kinsella, Van De Haar and Besada on Hayek, Mises, Rothbard on Zionism, and Tyler Kubik, “Murray N. Rothbard Bibliography: 1940–1986,” Property and Freedom Journal (May 16, 2026) if I was a puppet of the Zionist overlords. [continue reading…]

Alessandro Fusillo, “What Is a Dictatorship? The Historical Evolution of VAT and Personal Income Tax in Spain and Italy, and of Public Spending as a Share of GDP,” Property and Freedom Journal (Aug. 6, 2026): A Comparative Study: From Francoism and Fascism to Democratic Tax Reforms, up to the Present Day (1922/1939–2026).

This article contends that Francoist Spain and Fascist Italy afforded citizens substantially greater economic freedom—gauged by tax structures and public spending as a share of GDP—than the democratic regimes that followed. Under Franco, Spain relied on older schedular product taxes and a limited turnover tax, with no modern progressive personal income tax or VAT; public spending stayed low at roughly 13–15% of GDP in 1960 and only about 22.5% in 1970. Italy under Fascism similarly featured a cascade-style general entry tax and real/product levies, keeping spending relatively contained outside wartime spikes. After the transitions, both countries introduced broad-based progressive income taxes (Spain’s IRPF in 1978 with 28 brackets up to 65.5%; Italy’s IRPEF in 1974 with 32 brackets up to 72%) and VAT (Spain 1986, Italy 1973, both starting at 12% and later rising to 21–22%). Public spending then expanded sharply—Spain to the mid-40s percent of GDP and Italy to around 50% or higher—while public debt soared, producing larger fiscal leviathans than under the prior dictatorships.

Both nations followed parallel paths of tax modernization under European pressure, followed by bracket simplification and sustained growth in the state’s claim on national output, with Italy consistently showing higher spending and debt ratios. The author attributes this expansion to the high time-preference of democratic politicians, who act as temporary usufructuaries rather than long-term owners of the state’s capital stock, drawing on Hoppe’s analysis in Democracy: The God That Failed and analogies to late-Roman fiscal overreach.

• Rothbard Takes Portugal: 100 Years with Rothbard: A Personal Account

TAP religiously held strikes in August and at Christmas, precisely when the most people depended on it, earning it the international nickname “TAP: Take Another Plane”. Then came the partial privatization of 2015, the relief of no longer having to pay for an expensive and poor service, the renationalization in 2020, and the return to square one. Since one cannot be half-pregnant, here is TAP again, with the deadline for binding proposals from Air France-KLM and Lufthansa closing on July 29th, the third attempt to sell it since 2015. Behind this are the Airbus funds scandal, the compensation authorized via WhatsApp to a public manager, the compensation claimed by the former CEO, dismissed after the supervisory body announced her dismissal without even hearing her side of the story, and an endless number of other absurdities.

It was in this context that an unusual sign emerged. On June 27th, Porto hosted Rothbard 100, the largest libertarian gathering ever held in Portugal, to mark the centenary of Murray Rothbard. Among Hans Hermann Hoppe, Stephan Kinsella, and the other speakers, the phrase that most bothers those who live off the state budget was heard again: “taxation is theft,” said, with some irony, in a city with a historical tradition of the left. A month later, I no longer found it only on billboards. I saw it printed on t-shirts, from Lisbon to the beaches of Sagres. Something has changed in taxpayers’ tolerance for the waste of public money. It is not necessary to accept that all taxes are theft to recognize that a tax levied on everyone to finance the losses of a few is hardly distinguishable from a forced transfer of wealth. That is what TAP and, let’s be frank, also CP have been doing for decades: transferring the cost of companies that never asked taxpayers if they wanted to be shareholders to everyone.

Victor Niederhoffer (December 10, 1943–August 4, 2026) has passed away. From Bloomberg, via Doug French:

Victor Niederhoffer, the famed contrarian speculator who made fortunes as a quant pioneer while taking painful losses in the 1997 Thai stock market crash and the 2008 financial crisis, has died. He was 82.

Niederhoffer died on Tuesday of natural causes, according to his brother Roy.

A five-time US national squash champion who regularly challenged grandmasters in chess and checkers, Niederhoffer got his start applying statistical analysis to financial markets as an academic in the 1960s and 1970s, well before it became standard practice on Wall Street.

Other obits:

• Victor Niederhoffer, pioneer of statistical arbitrage and five-time squash champion, dies at 82
• Tyler Cowen, Victor Niederhoffer, RIP
• Robert Higgs

Niederhoffer well known in Objectivist and libertarian circles, having strong interest in both. According to Wikipedia, he was

the founder of the NYC Junto, a libertarian group that was hosted on the first Thursday of every month from 1985 to 2017. He was an enthusiast of Ayn Rand, and named two of his daughters Galt and Rand. The NYC Junto focused on libertarianism, Objectivism and investing and was inspired by the Junto hosted by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia from 1727 to 1757. He had six daughters and one son.

George Koether, born in 1907, is a retired businessman, author, economist, journalist, lecturer, and consult-ant, and a long-time advocate of free-market principles and practices. He lived much of his life close to the Mises circle in the United States and to many Misesians abroad. He knew every important player, including Mises, Hazlitt, Rothbard, and Hayek, on a personal level, from World War II and forward.

A Life Among Austrians

An Interview With George Koether

AEN: When did you first meet Mises?

KOETHER: It was 1947, a few years after Mises had arrived in the United States and a few months after I had been hired by The Foundation for Economic Education to prepare a journal which later became The Freeman. Leonard Read, founder and president of FEE as it came to be called, walked into the room where I was lunching, with a stranger on his arm, and said: “George, this is Dr. Mises, may we join you for lunch?”

I later compared this to a physics student being asked if Dr. Einstein could lunch with him. With Mises on my left and Read on my right we plunged into a discussion of post-World War II economic problems. Mises quickly sensed my interest and asked me: “Would you like to attend my seminar?” I accepted the invitation immediately. From then on Mises became my intellectual father and personal friend.

My first full exposure to the brilliance of Hans-Hermann Hoppe came at an early Mises University in which he gave the main lecture on methodology. Here he offered a new take on Mises’s Kantian method. Hoppe explained Kant’s typology of propositions, and showed how Mises had appropriated them but with a new twist. [continue reading…]

Some interesting recent comments by Elon Musk about patents and competition:

Elon Musk: “Nothing any of my companies have done has been to stifle competition. In fact, we’ve done the opposite,

At Tesla, we have open-sourced our patents. Anyone can use our patents for free.

At SpaceX, we don’t use patents. Once in a while, we’ll file a patent just so some patent troll doesn’t cause trouble. But we’ve done nothing anti-competitive.”

Now it is true that most billionaires are mainstream on most issues and pro-IP, or neutral at best. A couple better than average, however. Mark Cuban, to his credit, at least opposes “stupid” patents, and endowed EFF’s “Mark Cuban Chair To Eliminate Stupid Patents”. Even if neither he nor EFF oppose patents on principle,¹ and even if the problem with patent law is not bad patents or patent trolls—it is good patents by non-trolls.² [continue reading…]

In 2009, the Mises Institute published Property, Freedom, and Society: Essays in Honor of Hans-Hermann Hoppe, a project Guido Hülsmann and I spearheaded to honor our friend and mentor Hans Hoppe on the occasion of his 60th birthday. As we noted there,

Hans-Hermann Hoppe is one of the most important scholars of our time. He has made pioneering contributions to sociology, economics, philosophy, and history. He is the dean of the present-day Austrian School of economics, and is famous as a libertarian philosopher. He and his writings have inspired scholars all over the world to follow in his footsteps and to provide a scientific foundation for individual freedom and a free society. The following pages are a modest attempt to honor the occasion of Professor Hoppe’s 60th birthday. The contributors are former students, colleagues, and collaborators, united in admiration for, and friendship with, the laureate.

Our 2009 Festschrift was followed in 2024 with A Life in Liberty: Liber Amicorum in Honor of Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Jörg Guido Hülsmann and Stephan Kinsella, eds. (Houston, Texas: Papinian Press, 2024), on the occasion of Dr. Hoppe’s 75th birthday.

Ryan McMaken attempts to explain “Why Comments Sections Are Not Coming Back to Mises.org,” Power & Market (07/31/2026). He makes the obvious point that the owner of the site can set whatever policy it wants. But as one commentator noted:

One of the article’s arguments is that the Mises Institute has no obligation to provide a platform for its critics. That is true, but it addresses only the Institute’s right to close its comment sections—not whether doing so is intellectually wise. Property rights determine who has the authority to make the decision; they do not establish that open criticism has little value or that eliminating it best serves the Institute’s educational and scholarly mission.

And of course his screed ends with this censorious little graphic: [continue reading…]

Here we go again. But which is it 1999 or 2008? Writing for Bloomberg John Authers believes what once looked like ‘99 is becoming ‘08. “Simply put, current AI scalers believe that the dangers of falling behind are far greater than overinvestment and lower long-term returns,” Viktor Shvets of Macquarie told Authers. “This is as good a recipe for a bubble as any.”

For us financial news junkies, hyperscalers and data centers are all we hear about. Credit default swaps, remember those things (an indication of possible credit trouble), are making news again. Authers wrote,

As default risk rises, so lenders will demand higher interest rates before advancing more money. In 2008, this led to a vicious cycle and cut companies off from funding. Anyone burned by that experience would be alarmed by the current price of Oracle Corp.’s default swaps. The company is spending heavily to establish itself as an AI hyperscaler — and this has made it more expensive to insure against default than it ever was during the crisis 18 years ago: [continue reading…]

Enhanced Games

David Dürr / May 26, 2026 / DD

There was recently great excitement surrounding a sporting event in Las Vegas called the “Enhanced Games,” featuring elite athletes in track and field, weightlifting, and swimming. In German, “enhanced” translates roughly to elevated, heightened, or improved—and precisely this, improved, is what the athletes’ performances are intended to be at these “Enhanced Games” in Las Vegas.

However, everyone of any standing and renown in the established sports business—international sports federations, Olympic organizations, mainstream sports media—agreed: These Enhanced Games are completely unacceptable! Because at these games—gasp!—doping is not prohibited. [continue reading…]
