    Price Inflation Is Getting Worse
    May 23 2026
    Even the federal government’s official data shows that price growth is well above the Federal Reserve’s two-percent target. In fact, price inflation is now at multi-year highs, and there is good reason to think this will continue. Be sure to follow the Loot and Lobby podcast at Mises.org/LL

  • War, Easy Money, and the Working-Class Squeeze

    War, Easy Money, and the Working-Class Squeeze
    May 23 2026
    Mark Thornton replays his wide-ranging Kitco News interview with Jeremy Szafron, connecting today’s “two economies” to Ludwig von Mises’s Austrian business cycle theory. Easy money and credit inflation lift asset owners, big corporations, and government finance, while working families get the bill through higher prices and weaker real wages. They discuss late-cycle signals in tech and AI and broader corporate credit, and how war-driven energy shocks feed into a wider commodity surge. Mark also breaks down Cantillon effects at the kitchen-table level and closes with bottom-up strategies like local resilience, savings, and removing tax barriers to using gold and silver as practical inflation protection. 2026 is the Year of Rothbard—Murray’s 100th birthday—and we’re celebrating by giving away free copies of Anatomy of the State through May 31.

    The US Constitution Is Now a Suicide Pact
    May 22 2026
    Historically, many sovereign states have granted separatist cultural and ideological groups political autonomy as a means of avoiding full secession. The US legal system prevents this. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/us-constitution-now-suicide-pact
