According to Ludwig von Mises, advertising exists because consumers are not omniscient. In a market economy, businesses must constantly communicate, persuade, and compete for attention. Advertising often appears vulgar, loud, or excessive not because markets inherently corrupt culture, but because advertising adapts itself to mass psychology. As Mises noted, “the bad taste of the public” shapes advertising more than advertisers themselves. And unlike political propaganda, commercial propaganda cannot indefinitely impose inferior products on people. In the long run, consumers still judge through experience.

President Calvin Coolodge on lowering tax rates: "The first object of taxation is to secure revenue. When taxation of large incomes is approached with this in view, the problem is to find a rate which will produce the largest returns. Experience does not show that the higher rate produces the larger revenue.... I agree perfectly with those who wish to relieve the small taxpayer by getting the largest possible contribution from the people with large incomes. But if the rates on large incomes are so high that they disappear, the small taxpayer will be left to bear the entire burden." Thomas Sowell: "Trickle Down" Theory and "TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH"

Christianity believes people are born with original sin. That means we can’t be trust with total power or building a utopia on earth. Rousseau & Marx believed people are born good but made bad. That means giving total power to politicians to make us good.

I like Orwell’s distinction between nationalism and patriotism. Nationalism is negative because it focuses on a centralised state. But patriotism is positive because it coveres a wider range of institutions and cultural values beyond the scope of politics.

He is not wrong.

Facts.

“Without theory, there is no comprehension of reality.” — Ludwig von Mises Praxeology is not detached from reality. It is what allows us to interpret reality in the first place. Without prior categories like exchange, value, means, and ends, we would only perceive motion — not economics, not trade, not human action. This is why economics cannot be studied like physics. Human action is purposeful, and reason itself is part of that action.

No they are not.

The results of Medication

Why are Marxists found more predominantly in academia rather than business or engineering or medicine? Because academic ideas don’t have to work in the real world.

@wholemars It really is. The historical record is crystal clear about this!

We must preach the gospel of free market capitalism to all who will listen. It is the answer to our problems.

It still blows my mind how little resistance there is globally to government overreach.
