  • Imperfections of Economic Relief

    The policy of Inflation and Monetary Theory have become very popular over the past century. It is acceptable among some politicians, philosophers, and even economists to abandon the notion of hard currency in pursuit of credit expansion and additional spending. What these people do not understand is the quantity theory of money that states that for every increase in the quantity of money, the value of the monetary unit decreases. MV=PQ. Furthermore, the policy of inflation, which is the increase in the money supply, is the most radical institution in society because it affects peoples' spendings, earnings, and savings in such a way that they lose sight of the prices of the most immediate future. The boom-bust cycle is a direct result of the federal reserve. Hyperinflation is a direct result of a centrally created currency. Savings, investments, and production drive an economy, the Keynesians have coached people to believe that consumption and spendings drive an economy but the equation to ask is then, how can increasing the amount of pieces of paper in the world make society any wealthier?

  • Partisan Political Power

    The president elect, just announced his nominee for the new secretary for the department of defense. The nominee is a board member of Raytheon which is one of the world's largest weapon manufacturing companies. A conflict of interest has never been more clear. The potential for America to enter into a new war is high, especially when the secretary of defense will be the one profiting.

    What is important for people to realize is that war is the lifeblood of the state. The bombing of foreign "terrorists" is not just the death of one man or a group of "bad" men, drone strikes take out entire regions including women and children. Not only that, in the domestic nation invading a foreign nation, the chiefs and generals make money sacrificing other peoples' children to the military industrial complex. Never has there been a stronger time than to be red-pilled to war and reveal the military industrial complex as the slaughterhouse industry it truly is.

  • Equality

    There are two meanings of the word equality that are used interchangeably. The first is that human beings are quality in their species as a biological organism and acting being. The second is that human beings are equal in regards to their lives of what they should posses and how they should be treated by others. The former is a descriptive claim while the latter is a normative claim that fosters the collectivist ideologies.   Among the nations and the states within the nations, there is no equality in reference to geography, atmospheres, fertile crop variation, and animal domestication. Nationalism breeds ideological support for national supremacy over other nations.  Individuals are unequal in their physiological capacities for physical activities and intellectual abilities. All the arts, literature, and crafts made by hand come from individuals pursuing their own self-interest into specialization. All that makes man and increases his standard of well being comes from a natural unequal distribution of order.

  • A Monetary Revolution

    Joe Biden elected his economic Team. Stimulus and additional spending will come. There will be another crack up boom cycle yet this one may be worse if it is not the dollar that recovers. The monetary revolution is a revolution in the currency the people use as the medium of exchange. Whether it be gold, silver ,or other crypto currencies, the monetary revolution may be the necessary development that will undermine the government.

  • We Need Liberty

    In this episode, Matthew discusses the uncomfortable truth that maybe a national democracy is not what Americans need to be a part of anymore. Considering the fact that the American experiment is currently of a state of being trillions of dollars in debt, occupied in foreign genocides, has a massive prison industrial complex, and an ever more intimately regulated economy, what is needed now is liberty. The culminated problems of the US are becoming serious enough to consider the fact that we still do not know who the president is and many Americans are upset by this. If we look to America's history the American civil war brought the deaths of more than 600,000 American lives. This war was not just a war of civility, it was a war of secession and territorial power. What America needs now is to decentralize because our egregious government does not want us too.

  • Price Controls
    In this episode, Matthew discusses his love for breakfast burritos and the economics of price controls. If a price control were to be installed for breakfast burritos to share with poor people, even the rich will have to say goodbye to their beloved breakfast food wrapped in flour tortillas as the resources will be allocated to produce something more profitable like scrambled eggs or omelettes. 
    Matthew goes on to discuss how the National Socialists in post 1936 (Nazi Germany), enacted rigorous regulations in the economy on prices and wages that created an illusionary capitalistic economy. However, this form of heavy government regulation that is known to be Fascism, is another form of socialism, where the means of production and capital are privately owned in description, but the government determines who can sell what to whom at which prices. This form of economics was responsible for the destruction of Germany in WWI (the Hindenburg plan) & also in Britain in WWI & WWII. Winston Churchill brought socialism to Britain, not the postwar Labour Government. 
    Examples of some price controls are water, gasoline, food, rent control, tariffs, & minimum wage. 
    What is the most important note to understand about government interventions in the economy or "Interventionism", is the fact that with each intervention, a distortion (or a few) occur as a result. To correct for the newly created distortions in the economy, the government will impose more interventions and regulations as to cover the holes in the leaking bag with objects that can only create more holes. As the government's short-sightedness cannot realize; for every intervention they enact as to assist the economy, they produce a multitude of distortions. Ultimately, the misallocation of society's scarce resources fall on the responsibility of the government, profit motivated entrepreneurs are tasked with the obligation of transforming resources into products demanded by consumers, if the government assists in this process then they will only make things much worse so there is no place for the government involvement anywhere near the complexity of human collaboration.

  • Voting
    In this episode, Matthew discusses the magical holiday season of voting and why he does not vote.

  • Public Health
    Fauci is a man to be suspicious of as he states that he wants public health to be a gateway to reopening the economy. To allow for public health to establish economic regulations will be to concede whatever part was "free" in a free market economy that America supposedly once had.

  • Is Politics a Joke?
    How many Presidents will it take for you to realize democracy is depraved? Would you rather be able to afford something or have a right to something?  What would you think of Santa if his elves were actually hostages working as slave labor?
