What the Left and Right Get Wrong On China
On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop talk about the Chinese economy. While some on the left see China as a model for governing, those on the right often assume their rise relative to the US is inevitable. Ryan and Tho look at the recent challenges to the Chinese economy.

The Green New Deal
Disastrous economic interventionist policies in the early 1900s helped spark a devastating global economic depression starting in 1929. President Franklin Roosevelt came to power during this time and used the Great Depression as a justification to mount a progressive coup against the political traditions of America.
It is with this same ambition that his successors in the Democrat Party have sought to leverage concerns about global warming and fossil fuels to wipe out what remains of the American market economy.
While the “Green New Deal” label has been attached to a variety of policy proposals over recent years, all of them share several common characteristics.
First, the cause of the “environment” and boosting “alternative energy sources” allows for a takeover of almost all aspects of the American economy. Agriculture, for example, must be regulated to limit the bio emissions of crops, cattle, and other livestock. Building equipment must be controlled due to its impact on energy demands. Transportation isn’t only a multibillion industry in itself, but indirectly impacts the employment of everyone in society.
Of course, in the modern political environment, environmentalist concerns must also take into account intersectionality and social justice, incorporating race, gender, sexuality, and all the rest into proposals of job guarantees, subsidies, and other forms of wealth redistribution baked into the specific proposal of the day.
How would such a Green New Deal be financed? As was the case with the New Deal, the answer is through debt and central bank inflation.
In fact, the size and scale of modern proposals have resulted in a renewed interest in what is called modern monetary theory, which contends that governments are free to spend and print as much money as they desire. In practice, similar policies have resulted in hyperinflation and economic devastation in nations like Argentina and Venezuela.
Another common feature of Green New Deal proposals is how obviously unserious they are about actually dealing with climate change and carbon emissions.
And this is the problem, the underlying agenda of the campaign to radically shift away from fossil fuels is not to protect the environment. It is to reform almost every aspect of modern society for political gain.
Given the foundational role that cheap, dependable, accessible energy has played in cultivating both human liberty and human thriving, defending the energy sources the world relies on every day is directly related to defending civilization itself.

Why We Need a Crash Landing | Mark Thornton
In this episode, Mark explains why we need a Crash (or very Hard) Landing in the US economy and the world economy. Specifically, why is a crash landing better to resolve the malinvestments caused by the Fed? Why is a crash landing better in many ways for the productive class of workers and savers? And, how would a crash landing place much of the pain and the overall burden on the rich, politically-connected classes?

The Green Road to Serfdom
1944, F.A. Hayek published The Road to Serfdom, a book warning about the dangers of normalizing wartime planning in the West.
The book, dedicated to “The Socialists of All Parties,” became a great commercial success, particularly among business leaders in the United States who were resisting the radical policies of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
It begins with government leaders who can convince large portions of the population to adopt regimentation in the pursuit of utopian national goals, like a society without want.
The issue is that these utopian plans cannot be maintained. As the government falls short, interest groups compete for political power.
Divides within society create unrest that is met with brutish force. Society finds itself under increasingly tyrannical control. To maintain unity, the government regulates speech. The result is the rise of a total state.
Hayek was writing about the authoritarianism affecting all the nations involved in World War II. But his warnings have renewed relevance today because of the utopian dreams of the modern political Left. Climate change has given political actors a justification for seemingly unlimited power.
Politicians have argued that a government response requires everything from global carbon taxes and bans on fossil fuels to control over the most minor decisions we make, such as what we have for breakfast and how often we flush our toilets.
Environmental doomsday warnings have proven to be successful in modern democracies. This has been particularly true in Europe, where explicitly green political parties have won parliamentary seats in a number of countries.
Other political parties have adopted these groups’ policy aims out of their own interest, resulting in deindustrialization policies that have made their economies less prosperous and more fragile. But the damage isn’t simply done through bad government policies.
The underlying message of the green energy revolution is that human existence is a plague upon the world. There are additional social costs to this demagoguery. These ideas have bred a social environment of nihilism and self-destruction. These results can be seen in activists’ attempts to destroy priceless historical artifacts or in increasing numbers of young people’s choice not to have children in the name of the environment.
These people are all victims of a relentless propaganda campaign by universities, media outlets, celebrities, and others to promote an agenda that simply isn’t compatible with human thriving. This campaign has created an ethical ethos that seeks human destruction.
People who have no hope for the future tend to be those most easily manipulated and controlled by those in power. Demoralizing a population is one of the most effective ways to undermine resistance.
This is precisely the sort of dangerous social dynamic Hayek warned about. In our next video, we will look at the Green New Deal advocated by the American Left and see how a “green revolution” will lead directly to an authoritarian state.
