Game of Theories: The Austrians
Note: This is post #116 in a weekly video series on basic economics. The Austrian school of economic thought emphasizes market price signals and how municate decentralized information in an economy, says economist Tyler Cowen. The Austrian business cycle theory focuses on how central banks can distort those price signals. In this video by Marginal Revolution University, Cowen notes that while Austrians can helpfully explain some features of booms and busts, it remains to be seen whether it can be...
The Russian Five: ‘You want to be free’
Twenty-two years ago the Detroit Red Wings played the Colorado Avalanche in their final regular season matchup. The Avalanche had defeated the Red Wings in the previous season’s conference finals on their way to a Stanley Cup Championship, and the series included a dirty hit on Wings center Kris Draper, which ended his season. As Draper would later put it, “I didn’t know my face was caved in, but I knew it wasn’t good.” Justice was to be enacted in...
The state of entrepreneurship in America
Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America is primarily and rightly regarded as a work of political science. But the book is also replete with economic observations. One of the most significant was Tocqueville’s astonishment at “the spirit of enterprise” that characterized much of the country. Americans, Tocqueville quickly realized, were mercial people.” The nation hummed with the pursuit of wealth. Economic change was positively ed. “Almost all of them,” Tocqueville scribbled in one of his notebooks, “are real industrial entrepreneurs.”...
How to eliminate 99% of all poverty
Can avoiding a handful of socially harmful activities virtually guarantee someone will not live in poverty? Social scientists in the United States said they have found the secret, and a new report from Canada has found it also applies across the northern border. The “success sequence” began with Isabel V. Sawhill and Ron Haskins of the Brookings Institution, whofoundthat meeting a fewcriteriagreatly reduced the likelihood of a family living in poverty: finish high school, work full time, wait until age...
A ‘signing day’ for workers: Virginia schools celebrate seniors heading to full-time jobs
Fueled by a mix of misguided cultural pressures and misaligned government incentives, much of our educational system has e geared toward “college readiness,” promoting a narrow, one-size-fits-all vision for vocational and educational destiny. As a result, we continue to see a widening skills gap in the economy at large, as well as a shrinking cultural imagination for what constitutes a “good job” or a “meaningful career.” Despite these growing problems, politicians seemincreasingly set on cementing the status quo, whether by...
Martyrs remind us to fight the ‘isms’
There is a longstanding liturgical and spiritual discipline practiced in Rome during Lent. It involves celebrating mass at the crack of dawn each day at a different church in various corners of the ancient quarter of Rome. A “station church”, as they are called, is usually the site of a great Christian martyr’s death, grave or an important relic preserved over the course of several centuries. Yesterday’s station church was the Basilica of St. Bartholomew the Apostle, who was skinned...
Why everybody loses with the Powerball
When es to government programs for redistributing e, nothing is quite as malevolently effective as state lotteries. Every year state lotteries redistribute the e of mostly poor Americans (who spend between 4-9 percent of their e on lottery tickets) to a handful of other citizens—and tothe state’s coffers. A prime example is thePowerball jackpot. The third largest jackpot in U.S. history—now an estimated $750 million—will be available tomorrow. But even if someone wins this time around, millions of Americans will...
The virtues of boredom in an anxious age
Today’s parents are fixated on setting their children on strategic paths to “success”— cramming their days with lessons, sports, clubs, camps, and so on. The goal: to enrich their kids’ lives with new knowledge and experiences. Or, monly, “to keep them busy.” We do the same for ourselves, of course, stocking our calendars with tasks and activities and our free time with the excessive consumption of media and entertainment. It’s a dangerous rhythm that keeps us swaying between anxious, in-the-moment...
Nixon, Trump and American myths
Two and a half years after the left created the farce – spread across the country by the established media and by resentful politicians such as the late Senator John McCain – that President Donald J. Trump had colluded with Vladimir Putin’s Russian government, the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller and a team full of Democratic Party’s supporters concluded that the president is innocent. Since 2015, President Trump has been describing the established media and its reporters as...
Acton Line: How secularization is killing middle America
On this episode of Acton Line, Acton’s director munications, John Couretas, speaks with Tim Carney, who an editor at the Wahsington Examiner and a visiting fellow at AEI. They talk about Tim’s new book, “Alienated America: Why Some Places Thrive While Others Collapse.” The “American Dream” is fading away in much of the country, and the problem isn’t pure economics, nor is it a case of stubborn old white men falling behind because they refuse embrace progress. Tim argues that...
