How American Progressives Influenced Hitler https://mises.org/mises-wire/how-american-progressives-influenced-hitler By William L. Anderson > Despite attempts to whitewash its past, progressivism was a poisonous ideology from the beginning.

Civilizations Are Transaction Costs https://mises.org/mises-wire/civilizations-are-transaction-costs By Vladyslav Manzyuk > As Hayek noted, civilizations do not arise from political decrees, nor are they the simple product of culture.

Medieval Europeans Paved the Way for Freedom in the West https://mises.org/mises-wire/medieval-europeans-paved-way-freedom-west By Ryan McMaken > Contrary to the myth that kings routinely ruled over cowed subordinates by “divine right” in the Middle Ages, civil governments of the period faced countless institutional obstacles to the exercise of power. https://stacker.news/items/1505897

Is the US Economy Headed for a Bust? https://mises.org/mises-wire/us-economy-headed-bust By Frank Shostak > Does a recession loom in our future? Given the irresponsibility of the government’s economic policies, the short answer has to be “yes.”  I'm pretty sure this (above) is the rate of change of (monetary) inflation but it wasn't immediately obvious to me from the description.    https://stacker.news/items/1505683

Warsh’s Concerning Interest in Redefining “Inflation” https://mises.org/mises-wire/warshs-concerning-interest-redefining-inflation By Connor O’Keeffe > Although it’s true that many government-driven price hikes in recent years aren’t “inflation” in the strict sense, the pain they cause is just as real. Warsh’s push to narrow what the Fed counts as inflation—so it can justify even more inflation—is alarming. https://stacker.news/items/1503394

The Great Disconnect: When Wealth and Productive Ability Diverge https://mises.org/mises-wire/great-disconnect-when-wealth-and-productive-ability-diverge By Artis Shepherd > Thanks to the Fed’s creation of asset bubbles, the US economy is producing many billionaires.

How many shots did Wilt block? Pretty cool work trying to come up with this estimate. Wilt's numbers seem unbelievable but, like some of his other stats, it's mostly that he blocked shots at an elite rate for more minutes per game than any other player. https://stacker.news/items/1502650

"Posts by Kyle Anzalone") > The credit agency Moody’s has calculated that the war against Iran has cost each American household $750.  > [Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi said](https://libertarianinstitute.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aae39e31b9f819f1e2384ca07&id=24acd794ac&e=4d47a68367) that in under three months of war, the cost of the war against Iran has already offset the additional tax breaks Americans received under President Donald Trump’s tax cuts. “As of May 16th, the bigger tax refunds Americans have received this year no longer cover the higher costs of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel caused by the war,” he wrote on X.  > While the Pentagon has claimed the cost of the war is around $25 billion, Moody’s calculates the costs to Americans are $750 per household or $100 billion in total https://stacker.news/items/1501573
