Don’t think… Look!

The disputed election of 1876 could have led to another civil war. Fortunately, civilian institutions intervened to create a compromise, and the military was kept out of it. 

It becomes clear that ramping up inflation is a tool for those who wish to overthrow the existing economic and social order—to get rid of what little is left of the free market system. 

Just because the Fed is continuing to inflate the money supply, that does not mean that gold has to respond as people think it should. Or maybe it is a good hypothesis, but gold has already overresponded in anticipation of all of that bullish bounty, and now that is being given back. 

In other words, as Jim Dines famously said years ago, “Don’t think… Look!”  And more important to remember: financial market relationships do not always have to follow even the most logical of hypotheses. (Tom McClellan)

If lockdowns now seem to be receding, it's because policymakers fear another round of lockdowns would be greeted with resistance rather than obedience. 

There is almost never clear evidence that a theory's predictions are false. You can always adjust something in the theory to make it come out true, and that is what all too many economists do. 

The “forgotten depression” (1920) can still teach us important lessons: that the interventionist and spendthrift state is often more part of the problem than it is of the solution. 

Twenty-first-century socialism, which has been so popular in Latin America for many years, has failed in a way that mirrors the failure of twentieth-century socialism in other parts of the world. 

The United States currency has only really weakened relative to the yen and the euro, but that depends on optimistic expectations of a European and Japanese economic recovery. 

"Taking back the streets” ought to mean privatizing them and enabling property owners to defend their property. This would be the surest way to end the riots.

The distinction between risk and uncertainty is a key tenet of the Austrian school. Mainstream neoclassicists reject it.
