Very happy to announce that Cronyism is on Amazon!! If you want to learn about the history of corruption and the libertarians who tried to reform the system, this book is for you! And it’s only $16 (yes, even in this highly inflationary environment)!!

Great economic historians must know economic theory and read, read, read history!!!

“The hydra of corruption is only scotched, not dead. An investigation kills it and its supporters dead. Let this be had.” Andrew Jackson after vetoing the central bank.
Great idea!

My paper on the Meat Inspection Act of 1906 is now available for free @IndependentInst . I explain how the market effectively regulated meat safety and why the Beef Trust supported more regulations to hurt their competitors!

@wdd077697764479 @mises The letter exists in the Rothbard Papers at the Mises Institute. His analysis is as insightful as Higgs describes it. I would love to make it public someday.

Jacksonians (1829-49) used this strategy to reduce cronyism in govt. Since the legislature was beholden to special interests, Jackson et al vetoed, recess appointed, fired bureaucrats, etc. to implement their policies. Historically, it’s the only strategy that’s shrunk govt.

Can’t wait for Cronyism 2 to come out— early next year!
On the latest #RothPod, @RyanMcMaken, @ThoBishop, and @DrPatrickNewman discuss the importance of historical revisionism in the battle against statism, and the dynamics that led to American politics being captured by special interests.

Very excited and honored that @Mises is publishing Cronyism: Rise of the Corporatist State, 1849-1929. If you are interested in the history of the big government-big business alliance, this book is for you!
History, at its best, challenges the preferred narratives of power. @DrPatrickNewman, following the tradition of Rothbard, does just that. Could you help us publish it for the masses with a donation today?
