If You’re a Saver, You’re a Sucker - Daily Reckoning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the fall of 1923, a German housewife waited at the factory gate for her husband’s pay. Back then, workers got paid at least once a day because prices rose by the hour. A wife needed to be ready the instant the cash hit her hand. Then, like a relay runner handed a baton, she sprinted to the shops. The bread she bought at noon would’ve cost more by dinner. By November 1923, 1 U.S. dollar fetched about 4,200,000,000,000 (yes, 4.2 trillion) Reichsmarks. In 1914, it was worth only about 4. A Germa
The Last Triumph - Daily Reckoning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Legend has it that in March 630, Emperor Heraclius rode up to the gates of Jerusalem in full imperial splendor. On his shoulder, he carried the most precious object in Christendom: the True Cross, the wood on which Christ was crucified. The story says that an angel reminded him that Christ entered this city on a donkey.

Harry Truman won the White House by running against a Congress that outworked this one. In 1948, he barnstormed the country, blasting the “Do-Nothing” 80th Congress.

Still, it got branded lazy, and the voters threw the majority out. On Wednesday, Speaker Mike Johnson canceled Thursday’s votes, sent the House home

Ludwig von Mises is sitting in his office at the Austrian Chamber of Commerce and has just written the most dangerous paragraph of his career. Of course, he doesn’t know that. But that paragraph will be clipped, stripped of context, and thrown in his face for the next century. His ideological enemies will use it to smear him. What’s even worse is that some of his supposed friends will use it to claim him. The book is called Liberalism. Chapter 1, Section 10 of the tome is titled “The Argument of
The Coin Flip - Daily Reckoning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While teaching one of my graduate classes this summer, an interesting and incendiary topic came up. Students argued that Generation Z, the most recent up-and-comers, were at a massive disadvantage when it comes to earning power. My colleague vehemently disagreed with them, and a near brawl ensued. Sure, there’s a lot of whining going on, but I thought the kids had a point. How on earth can they afford anything with the way costs have spiraled out of control in New York City? I blanch when I look
