By: DrCruel. on 09 May 12, 15:00:31
You have already been given a glimpse of how this will? end. Greece is only the beginning. It should be interesting to see how the socialism of Italy should be paid for, when that bill comes due. I should think the whole ugly business will become obvious long before the US has to default. Germany should keep its money, and profit from its frugality. They should also prepare for the day when the US is no longer able to pay for its defense. They need to be ready for all those hungry socialists.

By: DrCruel. on 09 May 12, 14:55:35
Socialism? The growth of government is justified by such means. Socialism? Why, to tax the income generators, not to help the poor and underpriviledged, but to maintain the rich and well connected in unearned riches. That wealthy elite is in Washington, and would not sully their hands with business matters. That is for their supplicants to engage in. They merely decide who shall be robbed more, and who shall be robbed? less. They eagerly take their bribes, all in the good name of socialism.

By: DrCruel. on 09 May 12, 14:50:56
You misunderstand. I say socialists are liars and thieves, plain and? simple. They run the US, plain and simple, and have made a mockery of our economy - so much so that communist China, fascist as it is, can claim to have a more authentic free market than at present exists here in the US. And no, I do not think Obama is a neo-Nazi. He would have to be a nationalist as well as a socialist. No, he's just the standard Chicago-style machine politician. He's a mere functionary for smarter men.

Implying socialists even have power in the US. Are you one of those people that believe Obama is an evil neo nazi communist islamic terrorist evil villain mastermind? Socialism just seems to be a scapegoating word for everything now, the use of it has become such a joke? that socialism in America has become a word without meaning now The wealthy ellite screw everyone? SOCIALISM! Bankers gamble the ecomony? IT WAS SOCIALISM! Poverty goes up while big business gets more tax cuts? SOCIALISM!!111

By: DrCruel. on 09 May 12, 14:40:43
Our edge is that our country can survive, ostracized from the? world. We still make most of its food after all, so we shouldn't starve. The cheap, subsidized junk from Asia will stop, of course. And our allies will eventually fall and be slaughtered by their enemies, with the Jews of Israel at the top of that list. And so nations rise and fall. But I would enjoy seeing a few more parasitic Leftists get their just desserts before I pass on. They're oh so responsible for the mess we're in.

Sorry to disappoint ...
By: DrCruel. on 09 May 12, 14:35:22
Sorry to disappoint, but the leadership of both have been in cahoots? for quite some time. Once both parties stood for basic free market principles, but now the only man mad enough to do so is Ron Paul. He's already old and withered, and will pass from the political scene soon enough. There won't be any dramatic civil war to mark our end, no more than there was for Soviet Russia. We'll just run out of money to borrow, same as Greece, while we chase away the last remnants of our industry.

By: KhanneaSuntzu. on 09 May 12, 13:34:43
I will take delight in the liberals and conservatives tearing each other to shreds in a civil war in the US. As far as I am concerned these are both just shades of far right extremist neo-darwinist, neo-liberal politics. Both artefacts of the cold war. History will move on and the? US shall be a barren wasteland of utterly confused people stuck in the past. Why don't you watch a Dmitry Orlov lecture for more clues. While you do I'll be watching RT serve me US collapse apotainment. Now... Popcorn!

By: DrCruel. on 09 May 12, 13:16:21
No, in our country the socialists go to DC to rip us off. That and to our urban centers. Those backward hillbilly throwbacks in Alabama are being hired by? foreign auto firms that have the balls to ban unions from the workplace, and are actually helping to carry the growing debt generated by our intellectual betters. Bizarre how it works out, isn't it. Leftists are wrong on virtually everything. I guess being an elitist, thick headed limousine liberal arse doesn't turn you a genius after all.

Yah well, we in ...
By: KhanneaSuntzu. on 09 May 12, 11:02:24
Yah well, we in Europe have? Greece and whatever. Americans have Alabama and they will be paying for Alabama and Missouri and Louisiana trailer parks for a long time.

Ya well, socialists ...
By: DrCruel. on 09 May 12, 09:27:33
Ya well, socialists caused the present crisis in? Greece and look to profit from their mess, at least in the short term. And I'm entirely happy with Greece becoming a pariah state by reneging on their debt and their trade treaties. Thatcher warned the Europeans about this stupid plan, and now her predictions are coming true. Germany should bite the bullet, and not give the Greeks a damn penny. If the German banks are in trouble, let the money be used to help them directly. Screw the KKE.

Yah well,? ...
By: KhanneaSuntzu. on 09 May 12, 08:10:22
Yah well,? socialism is mainstream and Europe and not regarded as "bad". Marxists and Stalinists, not sure. I am socialist inclined, and not a "Marxist" or "Communist". I think most countries can use some real socialism. I am not all that happy about ruthlessness.

You haven't been? ...
By: DrCruel. on 09 May 12, 07:02:05
You haven't been? following the politics of the KKE apparently. If the Cathars have something planned for the Greeks at present, I haven't heard of it - but feel free to enlighten me. And yes, you'd think the nasty behavior of Marxists after the end of WW II would have ended their influence in Greece forever. I agree that they're ridiculous and nasty, but they're rising in power in Greece - just as their national socialist cousins are making a comeback in Italy and France.

You know, they ...
By: KhanneaSuntzu. on 09 May 12, 06:05:53
You know, they might actually become Cathars as well. Remember Cathars, that obscure southern france culture that was eradicated by papal armies? Just as ancient boring history as what you call "Marcist" Obscurantist almost. Why this somewhat odd invocation of Marxism? Isn't that getting "a bit old" ? Hey the Greeks? might embrace The Venus Project as well? Would be NOT Marxist, jsyt "very unconventional". In the meantime - you get over your personal demons ok? The witches are all dead too.

By: DrCruel. on 09 May 12, 03:38:50
Go for it. Adopt an open Marxist government while you're at it. Then the rest of Europe can cut off all trade with Greece, wall them off, and let them wallow in their own debt and self pity. Then in time, with luck? some decent Greeks will rise up, form a coup, kill all their socialists and again rejoin the decent nations. I love the idea. Why not run with it.

I support the idea ...
By: KhanneaSuntzu. on 09 May 12, 03:06:02
I support the idea of the Greeks walking out? of the EU. I also support the idea of them ignoring all debts. And guess what? They should walk away from international drug treaties,or treaties on IP enforcement as well. They can now cherry pick treaties! If I were Greece I'd start the poppy production tomorrow and start a profitable market of pirates goods as well. And a few other things as well. Sod the fine sensibilities of the EU.

Or just don't ...
By: DrCruel. on 09 May 12, 01:32:57
Or just don't advance Greece any more credit until they've paid off what they've borrowed already. Likewise, kick them out of the EU until they can prove they've regained financial stability. That seems fair. What isn't fair is to make the Germans pay? for the wacky binge the Greeks have been at for the last decade.

Great. Now the ...
By: KhanneaSuntzu. on 08 May 12, 05:14:22
Great. Now the policies of austerity got skinheads elected in Greece. Good luck with the draconian measures if the end result will be riots, crimes, waves of suicides, insurrection, radical politics, populism and? revolution. I know both are bad - maybe we need a third way. How about forced debt cancellation? Rich people lose some claims on society... .big deal?

By: Sterss4. on 07 May 12, 21:26:31
Its going to happen anyway and delaying it doesn't prevent it, it compounds it. So if the fear is that of? which you state, woudln't it seem reasonable to take the lesser impact that delay for a more significant impact?

Ok,, google is very successfully,,, people will try to come up with better ideas.

By: bjarnet3. on 18 Dec 11, 03:49:35
It is impossible to have total control in a free marked...? You can have total control, but this is only possible trough protection from the State. But if the State have enormous control in the marked it is not a "free marked". It is like saying that Nokia always will have marked monopoly on Cell phones (they had 90% of the whole marked, now they are almost bankrupt),, Or Microsoft will always have monopoly on computers and operation systems. Nobody knows, what the future will bring.

Figures quoted from ...
By: Hopeful71. on 13 Dec 11, 22:01:27
Figures quoted from 1961 are from the HEIGHT of Keynesian economics. In this post Reagan "free(er) market" the middle class is dead (or dying). He is? no longer a saver. The only way to sustain the unregulated "free" market was to leverage the wage earner into indentured servitude. THAT is the end game of a free market economy; a "winner" who has total control of the market & therefore NO LONGER needs to serve the consumer OR labor. Libertarians need to wise up; free market=feudalism

That's not ...
By: Laughingblades. on 23 Nov 11, 07:03:05
That's not sufficient. No matter how skilled the workers are there's only so much work that needs doing? and can turn a profit, capitalism was designed to create a surplus of labor, and even if there weren't surplus labor, buying cheap goods made in foreign countries sends the wealth of your nation to another, slowly making your nation poorer. If the trade is in something that will maintain or appreciate it's value, that may be a different story, but if it is consumed, you lose.

The Aristocrats ...
By: Laughingblades. on 23 Nov 11, 07:00:43
The Aristocrats accounted for small business owners, they would never be big enough to pose a threat, they would be used as a cushion between the aristocracy and the paupers. When the workers revolted, they would revolt against managers and small factory owners, the capitalists profits might be effected, but they'd be safe in their gated mansions. Any who rose through the ranks would be welcomed into the class of aristocracy, the rest would? be shills and fall guys.

By: Laughingblades. on 23 Nov 11, 06:56:45
Not true, first risks get passed to workers. Second, Small Business Owners hardly even count as capitalist, at best they're middle class, however. The system is flawed. First if they shared ownership and responsibility their expenses would be shared, secondly the workers would no longer be disposable commodities, they'd be co-owners and as such they would have a vested interest in making the company as? profitable as possible because they'd get paid more.

By: MrBigEnchilada. on 23 Nov 11, 06:50:42
many times the business owners do not get that much more money than the workers, this is mostly true for small and med-size businesses. The owner must manage everything as he/she has no fund to hire a manager. The worker is held accountable for only one reason, if the owner is not doing well, the worker might get fired. Any costs to the business owner is passed to the consumer, the? labor may be a consumer, but all costs from the worker are passed to the owner.

In a Worker ...
By: Laughingblades. on 22 Nov 11, 13:15:37
In a Worker Cooperative the workers would all share the costs, liabilities, depreciation, utilities, and taxes, and would all earn more. And if what you say were true the business owners would be no better off than labor. Also the worker is held accountable for whatever risks the capitalist takes, any cost to the business owner is passed to the workers, labor creates a cushion.?

By: MrBigEnchilada. on 22 Nov 11, 01:49:42
Now undeniably the business owner will act in his best interest to decrease the costs of operating or producing, he will reduce the labor cost, ie: outsource to india, china, vietnam, mexico, etc etc...it is unfortunate that a worker in those countries are paid with such? low money, a direct cause is of course the exchange rates. I am not against protesting the treatment of workers and the environment by these companies, but it is also our desire to buy and use cheaper goods.

Now certainly the ...
By: MrBigEnchilada. on 22 Nov 11, 01:46:20
Now certainly the business owner is not giong to hire anyone if they work less than a hundred dollars, or even bring in exactly 100 dollars. This is because the owner is the one who is held responsible to pay for the rent, liabilities payments, depreciation, utilities, and related taxes. The worker is not held accountable for any expenses associated with his job, ie, the? cost of producing or operating.

By: Laughingblades. on 27 Oct 11, 21:06:31
In Capitalism, someone else owns your ass, you can bring hundreds of dollars to your company in a day, and be paid less than a hundred, the business owner owns your labor, your wage isn't much different from a bag of oats given to a feudal serf, only a feudal serf had guaranteed food and shelter you don't even have that. There are other free market? alternatives, if you must insist on a free market, capitalism and corporations rely on your ignorance of those alternatives to foster acceptance.

he fails to note that inheritant nature of all business is a trend towards monopoly. (that's how fellow 'good' capitalists maximize their profit) and once monopoly is achieved then neither goods are cheap nor? wage is raised any more. . so as capitalism was a step ahead over primitive exploatation of medieval peasantry we need another step ahead to finish this modern exploatation.

So now you're conflating a fall in the ratio of wages to prices...with a supposed law of economics.? Or possibly a profit maximisation strategy used by employers - who you think can control the market. If you think you've got a point, try stating it clearly.

The community would decide what was worthy of pursuing based on the majority not based on some dictator or central control figure or some wealthy person holding more shiny metal than the average joe. Why should? money decide what gets done. Its only a tool not a master. Isn't money suppose to be a substitute for barter that serves us not something that we have to serve and worship?

We have projects in the community to build better bridges,roads, trains, etc.. We decide what needs to be done and agree on a price and we issue money to the people that produce these goods representing their time/labour resulting in abundance and inflation is not an issue. Abundance is wealth not scarcity!

By: Nintendomanwill. on 01 Mar 10, 16:51:02
The division of labour requires facilitation of exchange between those with goods that may well not be relevant to each others' ordinal subjective values, so as the division of labour extends to bring people into exchange with many whom they know not, unlike in atavistic village economies, and thus money is really called into being to allow cardinal? value to arise from exchange. If this extended order of exchange does not exist then money is less needed, of course. So heterogeneity needs money.

That exact chicken and egg query arose in a seminar I was in, regarding transition from gift exchange to indirect exchange. Knowing that credit expansion cannot fertilise actual growth, I intuitively knew that there could not be a chicken or egg query; rather, money had to proliferate after extended division? of labour called it into being in order to facilitate exchange with those whom one knows not, unlike in atavistic village economies. Cardinal values must arise from differing ordinal values

About labor and price: I create a company that makes hand crafted decorative horse manure balls. Each one requires $250 worth of labor. As a business man I will consider that in the price that I set, of say $399, but that might not be the price the public will pay.... even for a large ball of manure. So I now have a choice sell it at a price people will pay or never sell it at all. ? In reality, horse poo no matter how decorative probably has little market my $399 price no matter the labor.

interesting information, tanks! few questions: what is the relationship between money and labor? Because every good needs labor, so the amount? of labor it needs is coherent to the prizing. what are the problem of a profit based society? and didnt human society flourish because of cooperation between people and nations? what happens if the production of money is loan based? and because of that the need fore money will always be bigger then the supply? and who can and will change this?

-Actually, I believe it was Rothbard who credited Fetter (and not Mises Rothbard) for showing the error of Bohm-Bawerk's view of? 'third ground' and praised him for understanding interest as being the sole result of time preference, and that effected the value of production in his introduction to Captial Interest and Rent, Frank Fetter.

-So, I never said that Rothbard came up with the view of pure time preference, but that he intergrated? it into a coherent Production Theory, which Mises hadn't done. As for Mises, in his review of MES, he states, 'in every chapter of his treatise, Dr. Rothbard, adopting the best of the teachings of his predecessors, and adding to them highly important observations,... develops the correct theory...(New Individualist Review, Mises review of MES, p.323)

By: edwardpf123. on 24 Jan 12, 09:23:49
One of Rothbard's greatest accomplishments in production theory was the development of a captial and interest theory that intergrated the temporal production-structure analysis of Knut Wicksell and Hayek with the pure-time preference theory? expounded by Frank A. Fetter and Ludwig Von Mises. Although the roots of both of these strands of thought can be traced back to Bohm-Bawerk's work, his exposition was confused and raised seemingly insoluable contradictions between the two...

@edwardpf123 "...removing the view that productivity had any effect on it." From this I (quite understandably I think) thought you meant that this was Rothbard's contribution. I just read Mises' review of MES(the one that was reprinted in Economic Freedom and Interventionism): interest? is mentioned once and it doesn't say anything about any original contribution. Wrong review?

By: edwardpf123. on 23 Jan 12, 07:39:55
-Rothbard placed it into the entire economic system? in his work,MES, giving credit to Fetter for his contributions. Bohm-Bawerk did demolish other productivity theories of interest, but inexplicity developed one of his own. That was Rothbard's contribution which Mises, which Mises credited him for in his review of the work. I didn't say that Rothbard came up with the view.

By: Xasew. on 23 Jan 12, 04:18:38
@edwardpf123 Böhm-Bawerk demolished the productivity theories? of interest in his Capital & Interest. Frank Fetter already espoused the pure time preference theory of interest in the early 1900s. Rothbard was introduced to Fetter's work via a citation in Mises' Human Action. So no, Rothbard didn't come up with the pure time preference theory of interest.

By: edwardpf123. on 26 Nov 11, 08:35:06

@ancapistan Mises' regression theorem is nothing like LTV. I can say that people value chocolate because they remember from the past that it tastes good. Am I violating marginal? utility analysis? I don't think so. People's memories don't directly CAUSE or DEFINE the value of anything. That doesn't mean that those memories don't affect HOW they value things. You're overthinking this.

I'd argue? that 24hr, 365 day a year labor CAN be used in exchange for debt while slavery is power of life and death over another which a society based on freedom cannot have--by definition. Libertarians using "slavery" in any way non-literally is like your dentist using the world "teeth" figuratively, y'know? So either Libs' freedom project actually just leads to slavery anyway--making us a joke--or we're not using it literally--making us similarly hard to take seriously.

If you REALLY want to change people's minds regarding freedom I suggest a wider dissemination of Block's view that slavery should be? made something people may enter into by contract--that freedom SHOULD be something from which a person may alienate him or herself. After all, people (i.e., statist fascists) remain convinced that slavery is NOT freedom when it manifestly IS! I once was against slavery until being convinced by Block and others that to be AGAINST slavery is to be FOR slavery! Yay!!!

So really more of a Thomas Jefferson style deist perhaps? That just seems a? bit more spiritual then religious, but I suppose it is how you see yourself that matters. I was thinking a bit more in the way of a bible believing christian. To me deist seem like they want to believe in god, but there isn't one they think is real, so it seems like more of a belief in the idea of god. But I have never been one, so I don't know how it feels, I was a christian as a kid though.

I used to be a big Rothbard fan but i always had a very hard time making the logical connection between the internally logical nature of his deontological arguments regarding natural law, and the natural law's implications on what exists. That is to say, there is no way to prove the logic of natural law translates to the reality of the markets, which casts doubt? on the whole idea of an absolute ethical system based on self-ownership. I much prefer Mises ordinal value utilitarianism.

Of course, Rothbard may never have come to such conclusions without Mises to lay the groundwork.

I like listening to Guido a lot.. his voice and manner also? seems to calm me down. The pace that the information is delivered is meditative in a way. (no homo)

By: tabletalk33. on 02 Feb 12, 23:44:37
Well, Hulsmann is obviously no fan of the Rockefeller family, and probably no other Libertarian or Austrian economics is either! Take a look at this family, goole, youtube, whatever, and you will find out why. I realize that when Mises used his stipend, or whatever, from the Rockefeller Foundation, it was a long time ago. But Mises must have known their reputation. Another question: why would they help a Libertarian like Mises? I can't? imagine!

By: potosinodelcerro12. on 01 Apr 12, 13:45:46
We need to reach out to immigrants. Maybe the LvMI should hand out information at border crossings and immigration offices... I'll gladly? donate my time as a translator to translate documents into Spanish. Most immigrants are hard-working, freedom-oriented folks. That's why they risk life and limb to come here.

Try thinking for a minute, if a savings bank needs money MAYBE IT COULD CHARGE FOR SAVINGS ACCOUNTS. So you would rather have your currency based on the value of piece of paper that are printed by the class of people called politicians who everyone knows and makes fun of for being scummy lying criminals? Yea basing your currency on a mineral which can't be printed on a whim is SOO out there, its not like it was the currency for the previous 3000 or so years? or anything.*rolls eyes*

Eliminate the welfare? state and the income tax (replace with a consumption tax) and that will eliminate a lot of the difficulties with illegal immigrants.

By: 12Tamtui. on 18 May 11, 16:45:06
I think homeland security is the freedom movements Achilles' heel. ? The scholars of freedom really do not understand this issue adequately with the exception of Dr. Edwin Vieira Jr. Anyone that would like to become properly informed on this issue for the sake of liberty needs to read "Constitutional Homeland Security: A Nation in Arms".

By: SenorBastardo1348. on 16 May 11, 22:12:35
Immigration is not easy, the only reason millions of Mexicans or whoever? can come to the US with such ease is because of government sponsered support networks in place, therefore take away those institutions and you will find that only people who have jobs and have a place to stay etc will be immigrating.

By: Moragauth. on 13 May 11, 12:51:56
- struggle to beat a state at their own game. Moreover, why would Russia or China seek to invade the area? Wealth? They could obtain more by simply trading with it. The US has proven how bad large militaries are at dealing with decentralised forces through countless military adventures and has footed a huge bill for it and keeps paying it. How much longer till people just? get fed up of this? The US draws a lot of attention to itself precisely because it is militarily interventionist.

By: Moragauth. on 13 May 11, 12:49:31
First of all, you're comparing things on a number to number basis and assuming greater numbers necessitate better performance - but states are notoriously inefficient with money. Secondly, private firms could easily cooperate in? dealing with external threats through mutual protection pacts. As for size, provided insurance agencies handle subscription law, you already have very well capitalised, large firms with ample resources at their disposal. I see no reason why they would -

By: TheBullionBull. on 13 May 11, 01:05:05
Any? private firm sufficient to defeat Russia or China would have to be effectively a state unto itself, with research and development, recruitment centers, arms factories, natural resource supplies, airbases, naval bases, food supply, etc. The client base would have to be at least 100 million, probably more.

What is "history" ...
By: Moragauth. on 12 May 11, 22:09:17
What is "history" going to prove in this instance? People -already- rely on private firms for their security. And it was a private firm called Executive Outcomes (or something to that effect) that? stabilised Sierra Leone. SO what makes you think they can't? "History"? Or is "history" the statist's euphemism for "fantasy"? :)

By: TheBullionBull. on 12 May 11, 19:11:10
An absurd scenario? Study history, not fantasy about private armies. "why do you think that thousands of people (will) pillage someone who is clearly not the source of their problems?" Most invasions are not to solve problems. Genghis? Khan didn't take over half of Asia because he had a bad childhood.

What an absurd ...
By: rumco. on 12 May 11, 18:47:30
What an absurd scenario. First of all, I don't even need to own a gun as I can hire a defense agency for that. Also, defense agency may have more than shotguns (tanks, navy, planes...)? as it's a private army, not a bunch of hooligans. And why do you think that thousands of people from "collapsed city" will suddenly go and pillage someone who is clearly not the source of their problems?

OK, you are an ...
By: TheBullionBull. on 12 May 11, 15:42:35
OK, you are an individual property owner with an AR-15 and a couple hired hands who have shotguns. 10,000 people from an economically collapsed city approach your property. You are going be able to defend it? That is like saying individual landowners in Russia could have defeated Genghis Khan.?

You're making ...
By: rumco. on 12 May 11, 07:03:01
You're making assumptions. First, you assume that? tribal people pillage by definition. You also assume that tribal people would have more power (economic) than individual owners, that is often not the case as individualist societies perform better than communists. And lastly, you're confusing State with a voluntary security agency to protect property. Individuals do not need to form a State, they can hire other individuals to protect their property.
