Jim Bovard on Our Slavish Devotion to Politics
'Wall Street Journal' and 'USA Today' writer James Bovard joins Jeff Deist to diagnose what's wrong with our body politic today. From relentlessly tribal voting to rank hypocrisy and "whataboutism," Americans are angry bunch. And their credulous belief in the sanctity of authorities like the FBI is almost entirely determined by whether their party holds the presidency. Is there any political system that can survive the division created by politics in the first place? Jim Bovard brings his Menckenesque perspective to Mises Weekends to discuss our slavish devotion to politics. And don't miss Jim's great article on the FBI as America's secret police (TheHill.com/opinion/civil-rights/364219-yes-the-fbi-is-americas-secret-police) or his new book on political perfidy (Mises.org/Frauds).

THE F
the-fed-wanted-inflation,-now-they-have
In this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop take a look back at previous statements by current members of the Fed. For years, the Fed said the biggest problem was a lack of inflation. Now, with inflation at historic heights, is there any reason to believe the Federal Reserve is prepared for what to do next?

On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop look at Jill Biden's "Latinx" outreach and recent polling that illustrates a dramatic shift in political voting patterns. Are we seeing the end of the modern political party system? Do the struggles of American progressives reflect a broader global divide between secular and traditionalist politics?

DR. M
dr-mary-ruwart-how-government-keeps-us
Mary Ruwart (Mises.org/Ruwart) is a PhD chemist who worked for 20 years in Big Pharma, and she's seen regulatory capture at the FDA up close. She joins Mises Weekends to discuss the sobering reality of our medical cartel, and what all of us must do in the fight for health freedom in the US. How does government thwart radical research that might eliminate cancer, HIV, and chronic diseases like diabetes? Who really funds the FDA? Why do doctors go along with it? Can we measure how many deaths the FDA causes each year, rather than prevents? And will health supplements or alternative health modalities remain legal and widely available in the US?

HOW T
how-this-crisis-differs-from-the-2008
In this crisis the money supply has already increased far more than during the last crisis. But it's hard to say when this will produce inflation because we're still in the midst of a demand shock and a collapse in oil prices.

Last time we met in Orlando, Bob Murphy mentioned how much worse our political and social divide would be if the economy crashed like 2008. Now we face this very problem—with COVID-19 lockdowns and George Floyd protests decimating the economy and social media exposing raw animosity along racial and "woke" lines. Congress and the Fed have gone into overdrive creating new stimulus and "liquidity," but 40 million Americans are unemployed and major cities are still recovering from turmoil. The national debt tops $26 trillion while tax receipts at all levels of government plummet.
So what does it all mean for you, for freedom, and for the future of America—economic and otherwise?
Recorded in Orlando, Florida, on August 29, 2020. Special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Greg Roe for making this event possible.
