Thomas Sowell wrote his last column on December 28th and he decided to give it up after about 40 years of doing it!  Sowell has had a huge impact the economic world because of the amazing books he has written over the years!  He's an extremely gifted writer who writes very clearly, concisely and is just a brilliant mind. A few points he makes in his last few columns are discussed to pay tribute to...

Who do you think is the biggest political loser in 2016?  I would argue the biggest, political loser in modern American history is Hillary Clinton!  Hillary Clinton has always been seen as the inevitable first woman president but that no longer seems probable at all!  Also, a woman in France is literally engaged to a Robot and she plans on marrying this thing when it's legalized!  This world is li...

No one was shocked by the FEDs recent decision to raise interest rates to .5-.75%. The FED has raised interest rates a total sum of .5% in 10 years!  That's not much of a move but the markets think the FED is being very hawkish right now with the dollar hitting a 14 year high!  During the campaign, Trump stressed to people how he will make America great again but really it's an impossibility. The...

Donald Trump agreeing to a deal with Carrier to keep jobs in the U.S. is the crony capitalist system we have today. This is how business in America is done today and why we are very far away from any kind of free market system! Granting special deals and privilege to government favored businesses is the government picking winners and losers! The government protecting businesses from competition ma...

Just after Thanksgiving, Fidel Castro died at 90 years old. Fidel first came to power in Cuba in 1959 and ruled there for over 50 years! People on the left love to praise Cuba and they loved the heck out of Fidel! But what is really the truth? Did Fidel really improve the lives of the Cuban people or did he make life much worse? What is life like today for the Cuban people? Cuba really is a good e...

Many people are fearing deflation but is this really something to be feared?  Not at all!  If we had an unhampered, free market deflation would naturally occur in the economy!  We would have slowly falling prices because we are more productive and at the same time, real wages are rising!  Today, real wages are falling and the Federal Reserve is slowly eating away our purchasing power via inflation...

Prior to Donald Trump being elected, it was said the markets would crash! The stock market is at record highs and the dollar is at a 14 year high! So does this mean our economy has recovered? No, what we are seeing now is short-lived and once Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, this optimism will have disappeared. The only way out of our excessive debt problem is inflatio...

Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States. A guy who has never held public office will be serving in the most powerful position in the world. The world of politics today is crazy, to say the least and as some people are happy with this victory, others are crying their eyes out! What will 4 years of a Trump presidency bring us? I fear it will be a much bigger government and we wi...

Out of 330 million American our 2 choices for President came down to an alleged criminal or a crony capitalist! Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump want to grow the size of government. Our national debt is nearing $20 Trillion in debt and the next president will continue to spend like we don't have a debt at all!  I think we got to this moment because the vast majority of citizens out there are...

Hillary says the rich don't pay their fair share and she wants to go where the money is! Where is most of the money at?  The majority of people are in the "middle class!" The dirty little secret is that Hillary will tax the middle class to get through her programs! The top 1% pay an effective tax rate of 27.1%, while the bottom 50% pay an effective tax rate of 3.3%!  The rich pay more than their f...

I recently got back from the Contra Cruise that was hosted by Tom Woods and Bob Murphy. The Contra Cruise was phenomenal and it was such a great group of libertarians to connect with. What came up often amongst the group was a question of messaging and converting people to libertarian ideas. What is the best way to do this? The last part of this episode, I have a few answers.

John Hunt talks about the new book he has co-authored with Doug Casey called Speculator. John talks about how it is living in Africa and he points out how they actually view money in a much different way, than we do in the United States. If you have money, it's best to hide it and not tell anybody about it because they like to borrow it without any intention of paying it back! John also explains h...

Doug Casey talks about the economy and he sees the inevitable is now imminent! What's coming in the economy won't be just economic but it will also be social, political and military! Doug talks about how to invest in a gold mine and what to look for. He also gives advice to young people and why they should move to Africa as a way to increase their odds at being successful. This is a wide ranging i...

The first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was not very impressive at all. Ok so Hillary did the best she possibly could during the debate, which isn't really saying much. Then we have Donald Trump who missed opportunity after opportunity to throw egg in Hillary's face and he didn't do it!  Trump was on the defensive the entire time while Hillary stayed on offense. Acco...

The FED didn't raise interest rates in September and this comes as no surprise to any listener of this show. Raising interest rates right before a presidential election is extremely improbable and our economy is not as strong as the "experts" believe!  Steve Eiseman also has been in the news recently for his view on the economy. Steve Eiseman is the real life guy from the movie, "The Big Short." T...

The EpiPen story has been huge these past few weeks and this story actually shows us a lot of what's wrong with the "system" today!  EpiPen now costs $300 for one syringe and when it first came out in in 1977 it cost $57!  How is it the cost of EpiPen has soared in price? This is the result of government intervention! The FDA has blocked out competition due to cronyism and the government playing t...

Janet Yellen and the FED are giving a very confused message to the markets. Janet Yellen sounds like she wants to raise interest rates but she wants to wait for data to confirm it while other dovish FED governors want to raise interest rates in September. Anytime any of these FED governors speak, it's what completely moves the market and causes a massive sell off on WallStreet and in the precious...

James Grant, in a recent interview, discusses what he sees going on in the U.S. economy. James makes the point that in 5,000 years of world history negative interest rates have never happened before!  This is how absurd negative interest rates are!  This is the end game before the entire global economy unfolds and leads to a massive collapse. Having all of your assets denominated in a fiat currenc...

Janet Yellen's recent comments at Jackson Hole on August 26th are really much of the same stuff.  There is a few things in Yellen's speech that are quite revealing. Yellen suggested that QE4 (more money printing) is on the table and even negative interest rates!  Yes, Janet Yellen makes a comment saying rates you should have went negative in response to the housing crisis in 2008!  Negative intere...

This question sounds crazy but, should we legalize insider trading?  As crazy as this may sound, legalizing insider trading is the right thing to do. Today, insider trading is considered a criminal act, why is this? It's a victimless crime!  If you're the CEO of some company and you leak out information against your contract or your fiduciary duty then that's a civil case with the company you work...

The economy is not strong like the "experts" out there have led us to believe. Quarter 2 GDP came in at 1.2% when the Atlanta FED was predicting 2.4% GDP growth!  That's a big miss!  And under Obama's presidency we haven't seen one year over 3% GDP growth and this is unprecedented in modern American history!  We have had interest rates near 0% for Obama's entire presidency because this was suppose...

Donald Trump literally lays out what he's doing now in his presidential campaign from his 1987 book, "The Art of the Deal." Trump says you need to be a little outrageous, controversial and talk big!  Yes, Trump says play to people's fantasies because most people don't think big themselves, but they love to rally around someone who does!  Can you say, build a big, beautiful wall?!  The most fascina...

Interest rates have been near 0% for almost eight years now and we have printed trillions of dollars into the economy since 2008!  Negative interest rates are happening all over the world… What does all this really mean!? Where is the U.S. economy going? Are we really in a recovery like Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen says? Is gold a good place to put money even after the 25% rally just th...

FreedomFest was an absolutely fantastic event. If you didn't make it this year you missed out!  So many fantastic speakers and debates and all the biggest names in the liberty movement were there. Going to events like this shows us there's a reason to be optimistic. Just look at all the talent we have on the libertarian side. We may be small in number but we are extremely effective and some of the...

Alan Greenspan recently sat down for a 30 minute interview on Bloomberg TV and what he said in that interview is shocking for a former Federal Reserve chairman to say. A few of the shocking statements Greenspan says are played on this episode. Greenspan sees inflation coming our way and he says just way, it's coming! Alan Greenspan even says we should return to a gold standard and that our country...
