Western factories are competing with Asian factories for ‘unskilled labor’, and in this contest, we have seen stagnant wages in the context of rising cost-of-living inflation resulting in a decline in real wages for unskilled workers in the West, whilst the wages of skilled workers has taken off.

Those who would posit that there is a trade-off between robots and humans for jobs are correct. [i] The problem is that too many human...

The reason why anarcho-capitalism avoids this ‘uncompetitiveness’ between authorities is because there is no monopoly, and constituents have the discretion to shift their sanction or financial resourcing, or simply to suspend their financing, though that would not be sensible. You would always want to be associated with ‘your own gang’, as one would otherwise be placing oneself in a position of vulnerability. Now this is the scary aspect of anarcho-capitalism, the spectre of ‘gang land welfare’. What people don’t realise however is that ‘gang land welfare and extortion’ exists because of government. Consider two reasons in this blog.

The reason to expect the market to recover is:

The sustainability of low interest rates – There is no prospect of inflation in the medium term
The appeal of China as a place to invest – There are a lot of positives for China still even as labour costs creep up
The appeal of Chinese workforce. Yes, you can find cheaper labour costs outside of China, but you will struggle to find a more disciplined work culture. That’s not to say it doesn’t exist in certain individuals, and certain countries like Vietnam, but China is a ‘large strategic market’ and its akin to America’s industrialisation in the 18-19th Century.

The Chinese equity market has taken another tumble overnight, falling 8.46% to 3200pts. The market is down 36.6% from its recent high of 5050pts reached in May 2015. This is in fact the 2nd bubble ...

Many people are opposed to anarchy but do they really know what true anarchy is?

The problem with the contemporary idea of rights is that it is completely arbitrary; reading instead like a shopping list. These conceptions are as contradictory and indefensible as popular discourse would entertain. There is no reconciliation because there is no solid foundation for achieving any understanding. Popularity is destined to trump objectivity. Andrew Sheldon

Over the years, I have had innumerable opportunities to ‘change politics’. Perhaps the most satisfying are the discussions on Facebook with fellow libertarians. They are relatively ‘like-minded’, b...

The ultimate prospect of political evolution will not come from the hopes of the subjugated; it will come from the good grace of the gatekeepers. - Andrew Sheldon

The inspiration for this essay comes from a conversation with a fellow anarcho-capitalist where the question was posed: How to engage people in a world that seems uninterested in political reform o...

Roles that voters play.

One of the problems with politics is that it always seems to be the wrong people determining the answers to problems. Consider issues such as market regulation, starvation in Africa, or mass survei...

Science is the new SEXY

There was an interesting ‘scientific event’ in early November 2014. You’d be forgiven for not hearing about it if it was reported as ‘science news’, however it was not under-reported given that the...
