Economics

In-depth articles on economics exploring key policies in healthcare economics, agriculture subsidies, trade tariffs, government subsidies, and monetary systems — with critical examination of their broader impacts on public health, individual liberty, free markets, economic freedom, and the urgent need for policy reform.

Brownstone Institute provides alternative perspectives on how economic interventions affect society, from farm subsidies distorting food systems and health outcomes to monetary policy enabling control, tariff effects on global trade and liberty, and pathways to restore free-market principles and personal freedoms.

All economics articles are translated into multiple languages to support global readers, open international dialogue, and promote evidence-based reform worldwide.

Americans Don’t Believe Joe Biden’s Data

It’s progress for mainstream media to even consider the possibility that Americans might have a point when they say things are tough. Still, we’ve got a ways to go until media fully understands how much it has been gaslit by a regime that’s given up on serving the people.

American Totalitarian "Crypto Dollar" May Come Before the Election - Brownstone Institute

American Totalitarian “Crypto Dollar” May Come Before the Election

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) threaten to replace the cash we use with programmable, trackable, and censorable tokens controlled by governments. Your financial choices could be suppressed, and privacy eliminated. Based on what I’ve learned and experienced directly, this could happen before the 2024 election. The best way to stop it is through direct action, not through politics.

The Great Reset Didn’t Work: The Case of EVs 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

It turns out that the entire bit, including the fake prosperity of the lockdown economy, made possible by money printing and grotesque levels of government spending, was unsustainable. Even sophisticated car companies bought into the nonsense. Now they are paying a very heavy price. The new market depended on a panic of buying that turned out to be temporary.

EU Farmers Rise Against the Climate Cult

Independently from the merits of EU climate policy, two things are clear: first, EU leaders and environmental activists appear to have vastly underestimated the backlash their policies would spark in the farming community; and second, the apparent success of this dramatic EU-wide protest sets a spectacular precedent that will not go unnoticed among farmers and transport companies, whose operating costs are heavily impacted by environmental regulations like carbon taxes.

Can Federalising Central Governments Fix…Federalism?

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The US, Australia, and the EU each started out as federalist ideas with extremely independent constituent states, and with constitutions that made the rise of a large central government illegal and impossible. Yet, in all three places, the federalist project has failed, and a giant central bureaucracy has arisen that is strangling the life out of both states and country, as we have opined previously. How did this hostile takeover happen, and how do we create a new federalism that is resistant to becoming a monster all over again?

The Sinister Links Between Jeffrey Epstein, CBDCs, and Bitcoin

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The purpose of this article is to create awareness of the urgent threat of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), to discuss and describe Jeffrey Epstein’s potential involvement in both funding CBDCs as well as his possible role in changing the underlying purpose of Bitcoin, rendering it unusable as a cash alternative for day-to-day transactions. The article also provides a snippet from my book, The Final Countdown, which goes into detail and further provides practical advice for avoiding CBDCs.

‘Science’ in Service of the Agenda

Famine is not a climate change issue, it is an energy issue. Apples and oranges. This is not “scientific”. Rather, it is yet more weaponized fear porn being used as a Trojan horse to advance hidden political and economic objectives and agendas of political movements, large corporations, and non-governmental organizations.

The Great Taking Exposes the Financial End Game

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

One of the very best exposés of the covert, very well-hidden, bellicose attempts to rob all of humanity – barring the miniscule number of psychotic individuals comprising the inimical opposition – of their material possessions and their ‘immaterial’ freedom, was published fairly recently. It is accurately titled The Great Taking (2023), and was written by David Webb, one of the most courageous and finance-savvy authors I have ever come across.

The Toilet Paper Canard

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Lately I’ve been hearing that we had to lock down because the nation was in a panic as evidenced by the famous toilet paper shortage of the Spring of 2020. It’s not clear how this is supposed to work. How does a toilet paper shortage indicate the presence of a killer disease that can be mitigated by shutting everything down?
