In this episode, Mark Thornton discusses Consumer Confidence as a reliable indicator of the current economy. Individual components of the index are declining, but do not yet indicate a looming crisis or recession. Mark thinks that it does indicate, along with other economic statistics, of a clear worsening in the economy and his predictions for 2024.

Dr. Paul is right! People need to look at the money issue. Wars, spending and debt accumulation, subsidies, both domestic and abroad, are intimately linked to the money machine known as the Federal Reserve.

Central banks have two main purposes: inflate the money supply and give bailouts to the big financial firms. By inflating the money supply, governments can finance their operations cheaply and surreptitiously. If we wish to oppose the state and all its evils, we must point to the source, the Federal Reserve.

This opposition is why we are creating our new Federal Reserve documentary. The Fed has created its own narrative for far too long, but now we're telling the world the real deal.

On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop are joined by Peter St. Onge, a visiting fellow of the Heritage Foundation. As inflation remains high, even Washington's preferred jobs and economic growth measures are beginning to weaken, fueling fears of stagflation. Peter, Ryan, and Tho talk about what this means for Americans, its potential political fallout for November, and what mix of "carrots and sticks" Washington may have planned for dealing with the public backlash.

In this week's episode, Mark examines the Chocolate Crisis of 2024. Cocoa prices have skyrocketed. The media is trying to paint this as another example of the ravages of Climate Change, but the market is making all of its typical adjustments to ensure that chocolate products continue to flow to consumers, and also making adjustments to improve the long term conditions.

Recently on Twitter, as a reaction to an FT post worrying about the growing debts of various governments, fans of MMT were posting screenshots from a May 2020 FT debate involving Stephanie Kelton. The implication was that Kelton had correctly predicted that government debt would be benign. Bob and guest Jonathan Newman dissent.

In this week's episode, Mark takes another look at the Producer Price Index. As suggested in an episode from September 2023 (see https://Mises.org/MI_35), the PPI has indeed leveled off and is no longer "contributing" to the Federal Reserve's "Immaculate Disinflation." Mark points out that wholesale price increases are already in the long PPI "pipeline" and will likely make the Fed's announced plans fall apart.

The inflation news from the Federal Reserve is once again disappointing. All the measures were up and higher than predicted by the experts. Mark recaps this news and compares his guesses about the economy to the forecasts of the Federal Reserve and Wall Street economists. Mark also reiterates his predictions about rate cuts and the economy.

Simon Guenzl joins Bob to push back on Dave Smith's recent appearance, where Dave had made the case against open borders. Guenzl has published a libertarian critique of the Hoppean framework. The debate revolves around the status of government property. Bob plays devil's advocate, especially with a lightning round of "hard cases" for Guenzl at the end.

What happens when war shuts down the Strait of Hormuz? Mark looks at the economics and causes of a growing list of problems with the "chokepoints" of international trade: the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal, and Baltimore harbor. Will these chokepoints become Scapegoats for the Federal Reserve, and could war closing the Strait of Hormuz become a genuine world crisis?
