How does inflation affect people?
How Does Inflation Affect People? There is a peculiar form of theft that modern societies have normalized so thoroughly that most victims never identify the culprit. A worker labors for forty years, saves diligently, avoids excess, and believes prudence itself is a form of security. Yet by retirement, the purchasing power of those savings has quietly deteriorated. The money remains numerically...

Why is everything getting more expensive?
Why Is Everything Getting More Expensive? There is a peculiar humiliation in buying eggs. Not luxury watches. Not waterfront property in Monaco. Eggs. A few years ago, I remember standing in a grocery store aisle staring at a carton whose price had doubled in less than eighteen months. The store had not improved the eggs. Chickens had not suddenly enrolled in engineering school. Nothing...

How can inflation be controlled?
How Can Inflation Be Controlled? There is a peculiar ritual repeated in every collapsing fiat society. Prices rise. Politicians express concern. Central bankers appear before cameras wearing the facial expression of undertakers. Economists publish charts full of arrows and colored gradients. And then, as if participating in some ancient liturgy, the public is informed that inflation is caused...

What is a recession?
What Is a Recession? There is a peculiar ritual that modern societies perform whenever the economy begins to weaken. Politicians deny it. Economists redefine it. Central bankers explain it away. Journalists soften the language with euphemisms. And ordinary people, sensing the deterioration long before official confirmation, quietly begin to change their behavior. They postpone purchases. They...

Are we in a recession right now?
Are We in a Recession Right Now? The modern citizen learns about recessions the same way medieval peasants learned about distant wars: through rumor, selective statistics, and the visible deterioration of daily life. The economists appear on television armed with acronyms. Politicians arrive with revised definitions. Central bankers emerge from marble buildings speaking in dialects so...

What causes an economic crisis?
What Causes an Economic Crisis? There is a peculiar ritual modern societies perform every decade or so. The newspapers publish charts no one reads until panic begins. Television economists explain that the collapse was “unexpected.” Politicians promise investigations into the very institutions they subsidized, regulated, and protected. Central bankers appear before microphones with...

How long do recessions last?
How Long Do Recessions Last? Economic downturns possess a peculiar quality: while they are happening, they feel permanent. Factories close. Credit contracts. Newspapers begin speaking in the language of emergency. Politicians discover sudden convictions about fiscal restraint they somehow lacked during the boom. Families postpone purchases. Businesses postpone hiring. Everyone waits for...

What should I do during a recession?
What Should I Do During a Recession? There is a peculiar ritual that unfolds every time the economy begins to convulse. Television economists appear in tailored suits and explain, with the confidence of medieval astrologers reading goat entrails, that the downturn was either impossible to foresee or entirely predictable. Politicians announce emergency measures. Central bankers discover a...

How does the economy affect jobs?
How Does the Economy Affect Jobs? There is a peculiar superstition repeated endlessly in modern political discourse: jobs emerge because governments “create” them. Politicians campaign on job creation figures with the solemnity of medieval priests announcing rainfall totals after a sacrificial ritual. Central bankers speak of “maximum employment” as though employment...

Why is unemployment high/low?
Why Is Unemployment High or Low? The modern economist likes to discuss unemployment the way medieval astrologers discussed eclipses: as though it were a mysterious celestial event, arriving from forces beyond human control. A chart bends downward, another upward, and the televised priesthood begins its ritual incantations about “stimulus,” “aggregate demand,” and...
