Rewarding Good Governance: How Foot-Voters Benefit Society
In a previous essay coauthored with economist Rahim Taghizadegan, we described “Flag Theory,” a concept referring to how individuals can move themselves, their companies, and their assets to where they are most welcome, optimizing for a combination of tax and lifestyle advantages. In markets, consumers enjoy a variety of goods and services supplied by companies competing on price and quality. Yet, states supply inferior services at higher prices — like any other monopoly.
Jurisdiction Shopping: The Forgotten Logic Behind Flag Theory Original
Political scientists contend that a defining characteristic of the state is its monopoly on the use of force (or violence). Meanwhile, economists are quick to emphasize that monopolies are slow and reluctant to innovate, and they charge higher prices for lower quality goods and services than they would under more competitive conditions. Thus, it is no surprise that we get very little innovation in governance.
The Property Chronicle - Real estate, alternative real assets and other diversions
On January 10, over a decade after the first Bitcoin spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) application, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finally approved eleven applications on the same day. Trading began the next day, January 11. The recent round of approvals comes after much anticipation.

Degrowth Kills People - Yes, Literally
The mantra of “sustainable growth” has given way to a new narrative that points to “degrowth” as an imperative for human survival. Its proponents assert that it can save the planet, “unmake capitalism”, and even “enable societies to prosper without growth.” Perhaps driven by good intentions, proponents of “degrowth” are plotting a course that will diminish the possibilities of human flourishing in a world characterized by the conditions imposed by a scarcity of natural resources.

CBDCs: A Weapon for Debanking the Banked
By Emile Phaneuf III, American Institute For Economic Research In March 2022, President Biden signed an Executive Order directing government agencies to urgently research and develop a potential US central bank digital currency (CBDC) “in a manner that protects Americans’ interests.” It also encouraged the Federal Reserve Bank to continue doing so.

Hayek and Bitcoin
By Emile Phaneuf III, American Institute For Economic Research The late economist FA Hayek had a great deal to say about private money, inflation, and indeed, about preserving individual freedoms against a tyrannical state. As we approach the 15th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto’s publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper and the currency’s release shortly thereafter, it is worthwhile to reflect on what Hayek might have thought about this technological breakthrough.
