Tariffs to Cause Huge Shortages in Critical Rare-Earth

Leo Higgins

Looks like the tariffs have struck us in the backside yet again, in another exercise of President Trump’s penchant for creating unforeseen consequences in mindless “statecraft.” This time, due to the overall shortsighted tariff policy (aimed, as a practical matter, mostly at China), China has embargoed 7 rare-earth minerals which are essential for many “defense related” components to our high end weapons systems, and which are equally vital in many civilian uses, as well.

A Rothbardian Analysis of the South Korean Constitutional Crisis

On April 4, 2025, South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol was formally removed from office after the Constitutional Court found him guilty of leading an illegal pro-government coup on December 3, 2024. Having lost the presidency, Yoon will now be tried for treason in a regular criminal court—a separate institution from the Constitutional Court—where he faces either the death penalty or life imprisonment. Western liberal media outlets have praised these developments as a testament to the strength a...

Toxic Agribusiness’s Genetically Mutilated Greenwash

In recent years, the global movement toward regenerative and organic agriculture has gained significant momentum. These approaches promise to restore soil health, enhance biodiversity, reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals and create more sustainable and resilient food systems. Rooted in ecological principles and farmer autonomy, these practices have become vital alternatives to the destructive patterns of industrial agriculture, which has long prioritised short-term yields and profit over envi...

Them Chinese Ain’t My Enemy

One of the most fascinating aspects of President Trump’s tariff attack on China has been the acceptance among so many Americans that China is now our official enemy or, if you prefer more benign imperialist terms, our “opponent,” “adversary,” “rival,” or “competitor.”

After all, wasn’t it just recently that our official enemy was Russia? Even when Trump was president the first time and through the Biden administration, the standard mindset of the American people was that it was Russia and Vladim...

Thoughts From the Great Economist

Like everyone else I met on an overnight meeting in the Bahamas, I am worried about a recession. The world’s largest economy could dip into one, and very quickly, said a multibillionaire attending the same party as me. Personally, I have never understood much about economics. I have always left such matters to people who can tell the difference between a hedge fund and a mutual fund, duties and tariffs, and so on.

So, let those of us who regularly read this column and know as little as I do abou...
