  • Did the Articles of Confederation Fail? Probably Not

    Did the Articles of Confederation Fail? Probably Not
    Jan 10 2026
    The standard explanation for the Constitutional Convention was that the Articles of Confederation were a failure. However, the Articles actually worked the way they were supposed to work. Unfortunately, the advocates of a strong central government ultimately got their way. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/did-articles-confederation-fail-probably-not

  • History of Hyperinflation

    History of Hyperinflation
    Jan 10 2026
    On the latest episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton revisits the history—and present risk—of hyperinflation. Mark explains the threshold that defines hyperinflation, why measuring prices under chaos is hard (yet still revealing), and how the social damage mirrors war: savings vaporize, capital is destroyed, and civic trust collapses. He closes with practical takeaways: why gold and silver often move first as “fire alarms” and why studying past episodes builds the psychological and analytical readiness to face low-probability, high-impact events. “The Road to Hyperinflation“ (Minor Issues, Episode 136): https://mises.org/MI_136 “The Gold-Silver Ratio“ (Minor Issues, Episode 119): https://mises.org/MI_119 “On Hyperinflation: New Evidence from Zambia, the Central African Franc Zone, and Belarus” by Steve H.

  • Why Vivek Is So Wrong about the Founding of the United States

    Why Vivek Is So Wrong about the Founding of the United States
    Jan 9 2026
    Vivek Ramaswamy promotes a fictional version of American history in which a handful of people created America and that culture and religion are canceled out by an ideological “creed.” In truth, the American nation and the American state are two different things.

  • Environmentalism is Anti-Humanism

    Environmentalism is Anti-Humanism
    Jan 9 2026
    Anti-impact environmentalists want you dead; they will settle, in the short term, for you to feel guilty for existing, producing and consuming, and willing to comply with any degree of central planning and freedom curtailment to “save the planet” from you.

    Why The Monroe Doctrine Cannot be Reestablished
    Jan 8 2026
    With American intervention in Venezuela, some are claiming that the Trump administration is simply invoking the Monroe Doctrine, or its corollary, the “Donroe” Doctrine. In reality, neither doctrine is an appropriate reason for US military intervention in Latin America. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/why-monroe-doctrine-cannot-be-reestablished

    Jan 8 2026
    Whatever advances Great Britain made during the Margaret Thatcher years have long been reversed as the UK finds itself in decline of its economy and social fabric. Big government, once again, is the culprit. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/uk-economic-and-social-freefall
