NYC's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, pushed a 2-year rent freeze — and everyone cheered. But what happens when government just "barks orders" without thinking about economic reality?

Tom Woods breaks down the danger of the "military model of society": the assumption that mandating prices is all it takes to fix housing. No supply constraints. No incentive effects. Just a bullhorn.

Critics of rent control aren't landlord lackeys. They're asking the question nobody else wants to answer — what could go wrong?

Prices in housing, education, and healthcare keep rising — and it's no coincidence those are the sectors with the highest government involvement.

Where government stays out — like LASIK and plastic surgery for instance — prices actually fall. Tom Woods breaks down why top-down "solutions" only create bubbles, and why 2008 was the proof.

What does that mean for the future of our society?

Spencer Pratt gave a Fourth of July speech — and Tom Woods didn't see it coming.

From drug addicts in LA playgrounds to Mamdani's strategy of cultural demoralization, Pratt's take was surprisingly sharp.

Are the "destroyers" winning simply because good people are being demoralized into giving up? Tom breaks it down.

"Democratic socialism" has come back into fashion -- with the monetary authority having pushed prices up, ordinary people have concluded that "capitalism," which makes it possible for them not to be living in the dirt, has "failed." Keith Knight has 64 arguments against it, but we discuss about 11.
