State Militias and the Second Amendment: Decentralizing Military Power | Ryan McMaken
Presented to the Free Enterprise Society at Oklahoma State University on March 14, 2024.
Ryan McMaken (https://mises.org/McMaken) is executive editor at the Mises Institute. He is a cohost of the Radio Rothbard podcast (https://mises.org/RothPod) and the War, Economy, and State podcast (https://mises.org/WES), and is the author of *Breaking Away: The Case of Secession, Radical Decentralization, and Smaller Polities* and *Commie Cowboys: The Bourgeoisie and the Nation-State in the Western Genre*.
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?

Entrepreneurship is a process. Taking this view enables successful navigation over time, whatever the interim ups and downs. Sometimes the process can feel like stumbling through a jungle, tripping over rocks and vines, always picking yourself up again and marching onwards. Don’t expect the process map you start with to be the one you continue with. Don’t plan too far ahead. Do be adaptive. Nonetheless, the process view is a source of support during the journey.

Yes, there are still the people buying into the fear, ratting out their neighbors, etc. But I'm seeing a lot more of the opposite: people recognizing who the enemy is here, and that it is not their neighbors.

Access to capital for entrepreneurs has historically been difficult and expensive. Many entrepreneurial projects are not suitable for bank lending, and alternative financing sources have emerged; they tend to be priced high, and many small and medium sized entrepreneurial businesses have been excluded.
Today, the emerging FinTech sector utilizes data and analytics to re-price the financial risk of investing in SMEs, and, in many cases, offers well-priced capital that approaches the Misesian concept of the originary interest rate.
Hunter Hastings explores a range of financial capital options based on business stage, perceived risk, and lender requirements, with FinTech expert and investor, Dusty Wunderlich.

Recorded by the Mises Institute in the mid-1980s, The Mises Report provided radio commentary from leading non-interventionists, economists, and political scientists. In this program, we present another part of "Ten Great Economic Myths". This material was prepared by Murray N. Rothbard.
The public memory is short. We forget that, from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-18th century until the beginning of World War II, prices generally went down, year after year. That's because continually increasing productivity and output of goods generated by free markets caused prices to fall. There was no depression, however, because costs fell along with selling prices. Usually, wage rates remained constant while the cost of living fell, so that "real" wages, or everyone's standard of living, rose steadily.
Virtually the only time when prices rose over those two centuries were periods of war (War of 1812, Civil War, World War I), when the warring governments inflated the money supply so heavily to pay for the war as to more than offset continuing gains in productivity.
We can see how free market capitalism, unburdened by governmental or central bank inflation, works if we look at what has happened in the last few years to the prices of computers. A computer used to have to be enormous, costing millions of dollars. Now, in a remarkable surge of productivity brought about by the microchip revolution, computers are falling in price even as I write. Computer firms are successful despite the falling prices because their costs have been falling, and productivity rising. In fact, these falling costs and prices have enabled them to tap a mass market characteristic of the dynamic growth of free market capitalism. "Deflation" has brought no disaster to this industry.
The same is true of other high-growth industries, such as electronic calculators, plastics, TV sets, and VCRs. Deflation, far from bringing catastrophe, is the hallmark of sound and dynamic economic growth.

Recorded in St. Petersburg, Florida, on October 22, 2021. Video begins at 1:50.
The weekend revolves around a discussion of strategy. Nearly 25 years ago, Professor Hans-Hermann Hoppe delivered his famous "What Must Be Done" speech on the pressing topic of how—and whether—to engage the state. Today his prescription for a bottom-up ideological revolution beginning at the local level rings more true than ever. With Hoppe's admonitions in mind, all of our speakers and panels will consider three vital questions: Where are we? How Bad is it? And what should we do now?
