Despite the left constantly touting the virtues of “science,” democrats like Kamala Harris frequently deny sound economic theory. Her penchant for ignoring economic law is especially frightening when it comes to the theories of prices and price controls, which are recently under attack thanks to the Fed’s inflationary policy.

Thanks in part to the Constitution, Americans are fortunate to live in one of the freest societies in history. As other economies, like Japan and China, continue to grow and challenge the dollar, we should be weary of protectionist narratives and remember that our government is not perfect when it comes to trade policy.  The following article was originally published by the Mises […]

Some so-called “experts” are pushing for the removal of cash. Here’s why this threatens the economy and drives society even further away from freedom and sound money.
