The Statist Peril of Techno-Asset Inflation https://mises.org/mises-wire/statist-peril-techno-asset-inflation By Brendan Brown > From the sixteenth century to today, techno-asset inflation is found where monetary inflation and technological revolution interact to produce virulent asset inflation. > The positive supply shock emanating from the technological revolution bears down on goods and services prices. This expands the scope for monetary inflation by impeding an intensification of its symptoms in goods and services markets. I recall making a similar comment to @SimpleStacker about this recently. Especially in a world of inflation targets, technological advances pushing prices down in one sector must be offset by higher than normal inflation, in order to keep average prices steady or increasing.

Hip-Hopping to Regime Change? USAID Efforts in Cuba | The Libertarian Institute

Our Politics Incentivizes 'Forever Wars' | The Libertarian Institute

By Patrick Pillow > Among the commentariat, America’s problem with “forever wars” is usually discussed as a failure of grand strategy. In this telling, presidents misjudge threats; generals overestimate what military power can accomplish; and policymakers confuse battlefield victories with political success. These explanations are all valid, but they miss something fundamental: the people making decisions about war face incentives that are often badly misaligned with the interests of the public. > The United States does not need to assume that its presidents are uniquely reckless, its generals uniquely ambitious, or its diplomats uniquely foolish. It needs to recognize that even intelligent, well-intentioned people can make systematically bad decisions when the institutional incentives surrounding them are wrong. > Consider the politician’s dilemma. No president wants to be remembered as the person who “lost” Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, or some future client state. Continuing a failing war therefore has an asymmetric political advantage. If the war eventually succeeds, the president can claim credit. If it fails, responsibility can be distributed among predecessors, allies, Congress, insufficient resources, or changing circumstances. Withdrawal is different. If the government collapses afterward, the president who ordered the withdrawal can be blamed personally.
