L'inversion du progrès par l'État
How Blessed Is the State That Thus Destroyeth the Car - Jeffrey A. Tucker - Mises Daily: "Is reversing a century of progress a good way to make life better?

Doug Casey sur la monarchie
Doug Casey on the Royal Wedding - Casey Research:
"We read about some great kings who united their people and defeated their foreign enemies, like Alexander the Great. But that just means that Alexander killed his local rivals and set out to plunder others around him, just like any successful gang member might in Los Angeles today.

John Hussman sur le 'succès' de la politique inflationniste de la FED
