This week kicks off the Mises Institute’s Fall Campaign. Make a $100+ donation or a recurring donation of $5 or more, and Mark will send you a signed copy of The Skyscraper Curse: mises.org/mi5 The hatred and disparagement of gold as money and the gold standard has become standard dogma of and a pillar of the modern State. Mr. Buffet and Mr. Ramsey don’t know what they are talking about and have failed to look at the facts of history—any kind of history—in voicing their opinions. In complete contrast, regular people in society still see gold as an emblem of excellence more than a half century since the last vestige of the gold standard was taken away from us.

The Fed is desperate for you to think that "this time is different." Unfortunately, Powell can't seem to come up with explanation of why that is the case. Be sure to follow the Loot & Lobby podcast at https://Mises.org/LL

While the world is abuzz over artificial intelligence (AI), present technologies are limited more than most people want to believe. The situation is ripe for malinvestments. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

As AI continues to develop, so does the hysteria that AI will soon take over and relegate us to a dystopian future. We need to realize that, like so many other tools, AI can have good and bad uses, but it cannot control itself. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

What is the source of our rights, natural Law or the state? Unfortunately, too many people who should know better choose the latter. David Gordon makes short work of their internal contradictions. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.
