Financial Repression and the March Toward Serfdom

The Dutch government just declared war on private capital and most Europeans don't even know it yet. The Netherlands' Box 3 reform imposes a 36% tax on unrealized gains across stocks, bonds, and crypto, forcing ordinary citizens to liquidate real assets to pay for paper profits they haven't made. The sophisticated wealthy will restructure offshore but the schoolteacher with an index fund will not. What follows is an indictment of one of the most destructive fiscal policies in modern European history and a defiant blueprint for how free people can build their way out of it.

The Irony Of Unintended Consequences

ECB advisor Jürgen Schaaf's anxious response to the dominance of US dollar stablecoins inadvertently exposes central banking's fundamental flaw: treating money as state property rather than a market phenomenon. As stablecoins prove to be mere digital extensions of failing fiat systems, Bitcoin emerges as the only truly neutral money serving human flourishing over state power.

Time for a more radical Europe

The EU is facing "existential challenges", but neither the Draghi report nor the Commission's Competitive Compass will be enough to solve the challenges. A radical return to Europe's roots is what is required!

Businesses are not the cause for inflation

Central banks are blaming others for inflation because once you realize that it is their fault, you will demand that they stop printing money. The ECB is blaming businesses and today's newsletter debunks their arguments.
