In this June 17, 2022 interview by Keith Knight of the Libertarian Institute, we discussed a wide variety of topics from the Great Depression to the nature of profit to the virtues of entrepreneurship to the evils of the welfare state.

The President is a lying, incompetent dunce and his Vice President is a babbling nitwit; both are captives of the woke and brainless, hate-America Left. Their thrashing will be a historic joy to watch.

Muslim scholar Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) understood economics and human incentives in a way many modern-day politicians do not.

Poles knew from painful experience that, as dissident Stefan Kisielewski told me, “Socialism is stupidism.” He was beaten and arrested just for saying that, which only proved his point.

As eerie parallels between today’s societies and that of ancient Rome echo all around us, we’re overdue for a wake-up call.

To receive the highest honor Poland bestows upon a foreigner, I am humbled and grateful.

I’ve always believed that the biggest dangers of government are mission creep and creeps on a mission. Even good governments are tempted to bend the rules, but we should all be glad when the rules are good and are there for a good reason.

A return to sound money is impossible without a simultaneous return to sound budget management.

If only we make sure the right people are in charge, said the socialist intellectuals, the iron fist will wither away. That's not just wishful thinking; it's lunacy. Hayek explains.

The greatest hyperinflation in all Chinese history occurred less than a century ago. It played a huge role in the collapse of the Nationalist government of Chiang Kai-shek and the ascendancy to power of Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party in 1949.

If instead of buying the stuff from competitive private enterprises, we had purchased planes and tanks from government factories, we would have paid twice the price for half the quality.

No setback ever deterred the iron wills of these two great men.

Coming from a country where the State historically monopolized education, Mori saw America’s much freer institutions as a model of accomplishment.

Remember that just a year ago, the “experts” in Washington assured us that rising prices were “transitory.” Now with inflation officially 8.5 percent and more likely 10 percent in reality, those experts were obviously either mistaken, stupid or deceptive.

Mori Arinori saw private life and civil society in America as remarkably cheerful and robust, reserving special praise for a particular day. This is Part 2 of a three-part series.
