Quick Navigation

Recent Changes

  • 2026-07-02: thesis — added 2026-07-02-bitcoin-frees-the-individual-not-the-collective; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-06-26: integrity — hardened the quote-integrity gate (verify-quotes): fixed three OCR-detection false-positives — large clean EPUBs flagged by an absolute isolated-consonant count, possessive 's/contractions counted as garble, and math/code single-letter variables — plus a superseded-provenance edge, taking verbatim-enforced articles from 63 to 181 of 265. Re-extracted or replaced the last OCR-grade sources from clean text: Road to Serfdom (pypdf), Pufendorf’s Whole Duty of Man (Liberty Fund OLL), Friedman’s Nobel lecture and the Bitcoin whitepaper (pymupdf, with the math/code fenced), and Böhm-Bawerk’s Karl Marx and the Close of His System + Capital and Interest (clean Mises EPUBs, same translations). Hand-reviewed all 39 remaining copyright-locked-scan quote spans — fixing real misquotes (Nietzsche’s “It is a lie!”, Arendt’s “terror is the essence of totalitarian domination”) and de-quoting the article’s own framing. Renamed the only non-dated thesis to 2026-05-10-state-as-parasite-thesis and rewrote its 52 backlinks. No article-count change.

  • 2026-06-24: compile — new concept price-controls plus thickened spoke articles, and the title-transfer cluster: concept the-title-transfer-theory-of-contract, concept voluntary-slavery-debt-and-contract, and a walter-block work-node for Toward a Libertarian Theory of Inalienability. Fixed a KaTeX bug that ate dollar amounts inside quotes; corrected mises-on-minimum-wage (a wage floor is a minimum, not a maximum, price).

  • 2026-06-22: compile — new concept organized-crime-and-state-capacity (reframed from polity size to state capacity and will, with a two-margins subsection on rights-suspension), grounded in an ingested El Salvador gang-crackdown reference; new concept government-provision-and-the-conservation-appeal. Article count 253 → 265.

  • 2026-06-18: maintenance — rebuilt the concepts/references/topics category indexes (which had drifted on direct PRs) and added scripts/rebuild-indexes.py plus a weekly index-freshness audit that flags category-index / home-stats drift. No article-count change.

  • 2026-06-18: links/quality — built a blocking inline-link-coverage CI gate and a weekly missing-node audit (scripts/check-link-coverage.py, scripts/check-missing-nodes.py), swept the inline-link backlog, and drove the missing-node backlog to 0. New concept articles bitcoin, federal-reserve, great-depression; new author/work references bit-gold, adam-back, wei-dai, david-chaum, konrad-graf, carl-menger, trevor-perrin, moxie-marlinspike. Ingested Menger’s On the Origins of Money and Rothbard’s The Case Against the Fed (clean Mises EPUBs). Article count 214 → 253.

  • 2026-06-17: ingest/compile — re-extracted Human Action, The Theory of Money and Credit, Liberalism, Socialism, Theory and History, and 8 Rothbard works from clean Mises EPUBs (replacing OCR-style pdftotext); added concept methodological-dualism (built on Mises’s Theory and History); captured the session’s ingest/CI learnings in AGENTS.md.

  • 2026-06-16: compile/ingest — added concepts austrian-economics-vs-keynesianism and austrian-economics-vs-the-chicago-school; Keynes + General Theory and Milton Friedman + 3 work references; ingested Keynes’s General Theory and Friedman’s Capitalism and Freedom, The Role of Monetary Policy, and Nobel lecture; Rosenberg’s A Lodging of Wayfaring Men and partial Production Versus Plunder; shipped the citation-level grounding gate.

  • 2026-06-15: ingest/compile — re-grounded Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk (3 work references + an interest concept) and replaced the Positive Theory of Capital OCR scan with a clean Econlib edition.

  • 2026-06-12: thesis — added 2026-06-12-mega-event-boondoggles; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-06-09: compile — Pufendorf (Whole Duty of Man) + author, the Declaration of Independence, and Paine’s Rights of Man + author compiled as 5 references and wired into the natural-law lineage (Grotius→Pufendorf→…→Locke→Declaration/Paine→Spooner); Mariana stub added as a school-of-salamanca source. Article count 209 → 214.

  • 2026-06-09: ingest — natural-law follow-ups: Pufendorf (Whole Duty of Man), the American Declaration of Independence (Jefferson), Paine (Rights of Man) as full public-domain texts, plus a Mariana monetary-treatise stub (English translation copyright-restricted). Source count 141 → 145. Not yet compiled.

  • 2026-06-09: style — added bottom ”— Author, Work” attributions to 30 direct-quote blockquotes across 12 articles (franciscos-money-speech, credit-and-deferred-payment, the 3 theses, etc.), matching the convention already used in ~half the wiki. Abstract and thesis-statement blockquotes left unattributed. No article-count change.

  • 2026-06-09: quality — author-link hygiene pass. Added 211 first-mention author dual-links across 107 articles where an author was discussed by name but their author page wasn’t linked (the gap surfaced by Hillebrand in surveillance-capitalism/parallel-economy, and the same for Mises, Rothbard, Hayek, Tilly, Hoppe, Oppenheimer, and the rest of the 28 author pages). Safe first-bare-mention insertion only; 0 broken links, 0 remaining bare unlinked author mentions. No article-count change.

  • 2026-06-09: ingest+compile — filled the two natural-law follow-up gaps. Ingested Cicero’s De Legibus and Rothbard’s Economic Thought Before Adam Smith (2 sources, 139→141), then compiled 3 articles: reference cicero-de-legibus, concept school-of-salamanca (the late Spanish scholastics as natural-law theorists and proto-Austrian economists — the bridge between the wiki’s natural-law and Austrian/money pillars), and reference economic-thought-before-adam-smith. Wired into 10 existing articles; bidirectional graph verified. Article count 206 → 209.

  • 2026-06-09: compile — compiled the classical natural-law canon into 14 new articles: the concept natural-law-and-natural-order (mapping the Aristotle→Cicero→Aquinas→Grotius→Locke→Spooner→Rothbard/Hoppe lineage), 7 book references (Second Treatise, De Re Publica, Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, Aquinas’s Treatise on Law, Rights of War and Peace, Spooner’s Natural Law), and 6 author references (Locke, Cicero, Aristotle, Aquinas, Grotius, Spooner). Wired into 7 existing articles (nonaggression-and-property-rights, the-ethics-of-liberty, hans-hermann-hoppe, the-law, libertarianism, lets-abolish-government, market-anarchism-and-private-law); bidirectional graph verified, 0 broken links. Article count 192 → 206.

  • 2026-06-09: ingest — added the classical natural-law canon as 7 full-text public-domain raw sources: Locke Second Treatise of Government, Cicero De Re Publica, Aristotle Nicomachean Ethics and Politics, Aquinas Summa Theologica Treatise on Law (QQ. 90–108), Grotius The Rights of War and Peace, and Spooner Natural Law; or The Science of Justice. Fills the natural-law/natural-order classics gap behind the modern Rothbard/Hoppe/Bastiat branch. Source count 132 → 139. Not yet compiled.

  • 2026-06-09: compile — compiled The Sovereign Individual (Davidson & Rees-Mogg, 1997) into 6 new articles: references the-sovereign-individual, james-dale-davidson, william-rees-mogg; concepts megapolitics, the-cybereconomy, jurisdictional-competition. Integrated the source into evolution-of-the-state, denationalisation-of-money, and crypto-anarchy; added reciprocal See-Also backlinks across 13 existing articles (bidirectional graph verified). Healed the pre-existing oppenheimer-on-conquest row in the concepts index. Article count 186 → 192. (Legacy wiki/_index.md aggregate is stale and pending a /wiki:lint rebuild.)

  • 2026-06-09: ingest — added James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg’s The Sovereign Individual as a full-text OCR raw aggregate from Internet Archive, marked commercially copyrighted/private-research-only; source count 131 → 132.

  • 2026-06-08: thesis — added 2026-06-08-libertarianism-and-the-adoption-problem; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-06-07: thesis — added 2026-06-07-somalia-2006-intervention-blowback; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-06-05: thesis — added 2026-06-04-trump-ceasefire-moderate-shooting; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-06-08: compile — filled the query-surfaced gaps with 3 concepts + 3 raw sources: agorism-and-counter-economics (Konkin), public-choice-and-rational-ignorance (Econlib/Shughart), and in-group-out-group-tribalism (Sumner) — the strategy-by-exit, why-liberty-is-under-supplied, and tribal-psychology answers to the ‘how can libertarianism succeed given human nature’ question. 6 reciprocal See-Also backlinks; topic map updated.

  • 2026-06-07: compile — corpus enrichment: added concepts stateless-somalia (Leeson, Better Off Stateless) and non-interventionism (Rothbard, War, Peace, and the State) with 2 raw sources and 8 reciprocal See-Also backlinks — closing the war/intervention coverage gap surfaced when the ceasefire and Somalia theses cited near-identical concepts.

  • 2026-06-03: thesis — added 2026-06-03-fomc-april-2026-rate-hold; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-05-30: librarian — full quality/staleness scan (170 articles): 0 stale, 0 stubs, 0 missing See-Also; the only systemic gap was verification (nothing human-confirmed). Acted on a gpt-5.5 content review of the older Austrian core — fixed 2 doctrinal errors (Rothbard’s natural-rights ethics vs Hoppe’s argumentation ethics; the Misesian calculation point was Hayekized) plus 6 wording/precision fixes across praxeology, nonaggression-and-property-rights, economic-calculation-problem, knowledge-problem, austrian-business-cycle-theory. Enriched 3 terse state-theory concepts (council-system, friend-enemy-distinction, state-of-exception) with verified canonical content. Confirmed the 2 confidence: low outliers are correctly calibrated. Fixed a systemic readability defect: trimmed 264 mid-word-truncated See-Also notes across 78 files and patched check-backlinks.py to stop truncating at word boundaries. Stamped verified: 2026-05-30 on the 18 genuinely-reviewed articles.

  • 2026-05-30: compile — extracted the remaining 4 implementation/history concepts from The Praxeology of Privacy: coinjoin (CoinJoin/PayJoin Bitcoin base-layer privacy), ecash (Chaumian ecash mints — Cashu/Fedimint and the privacy-vs-custody tradeoff), nostr (keys-as-identity decentralized social protocol), and digital-cash-history (the Ch. 18 case studies — DigiCash, e-gold, Liberty Dollar, Liberty Reserve, Silk Road, Tornado Cash — and why Bitcoin’s design escaped their central-point-of-failure trap). 34 reciprocal See Also backlinks added; author bios left one-directional per the AGENTS.md caveat. Article count 166 → 170.

  • 2026-05-29: compile — extracted 4 concept articles from the broad Praxeology of Privacy book to close coverage gaps a citation review surfaced: intervention-taxonomy (Rothbard’s autistic/binary/triangular typology, previously only name-dropped), intellectual-property (the Kinsella/Rothbard scarcity-based anti-IP argument), parallel-economy (Hillebrand’s Ch. 21 strategic synthesis — breaking the OODA observation loop), and surveillance-capitalism (Ch. 11, read through Austrian intervention/market-process theory). 35 reciprocal See Also backlinks added; author bios left one-directional per the AGENTS.md caveat. Article count 162 → 166.

  • 2026-05-29: compile — added references/cypherpunks-mailing-list from the curated Cypherpunks mailing-list subset ingested 2026-05-28. The new reference synthesizes the list’s arc (1992 founding and the two manifestos → anonymous remailers and Chaumian digital cash → the Clipper/key-escrow Crypto Wars → Hashcash and b-money → the 2008 bridge to the cryptography list where Bitcoin was announced) and ties the cypherpunk concept/reference articles to their primary-source substrate. 11 reciprocal See Also backlinks added (author bios left one-directional per the AGENTS.md caveat). Closes the last substantive compile gap; article count 161 → 162.

  • 2026-05-29: thesis — added 2026-05-10-state-as-parasite-thesis; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-05-29: thesis — added 2026-05-19-argentina-rent-decontrol-2023; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-05-29: thesis — added 2026-05-19-imf-conditionality-supranational-political-means; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-05-29: thesis — added 2026-05-18-nato-defense-spending-floor-protection-racket; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-05-29: thesis — added 2026-05-18-eu-wealth-tax-directive-capital-consumption; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-05-29: thesis — added 2026-05-18-digital-euro-launch-cbdc-total-intervention; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-05-29: thesis — added 2026-05-17-fed-may-2026-rate-cut-abct; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-05-29: lint — repaired 23 dead links to re-dated thesis files (the 2026-05-16-fed-* / 2026-05-16-nato-* references were never updated when those theses were re-dated to 05-17/05-18, plus one renamed IMF-thesis slug), so every internal link now resolves. Filled 16 concept stubs that had only short: with proper summary: frontmatter and refreshed their index rows; added the missing category: to the parasite thesis. Added 123 reciprocal See Also backlinks via check-backlinks.py (author/person pages exempted per the AGENTS.md caveat), taking reciprocity misses from 142 to 19 intentional concept→author one-directionals. Corrected master statistics (Articles 151 → 161, Sources 111 → 110).

  • 2026-05-28: compile — added concepts/hard-money as a dedicated bridge article. Hardness was discussed across ~15 existing articles (Bitcoin Standard ref, Fiat Standard ref, Salerno’s TMS, Mystery of Banking, 100%-reserve banking, fiat-as-engineered-system, etc.) but had no landing page where a reader following the cypherpunk thread could click ‘hard money’ and get a definition + criteria + historical examples + Mises-Saifedean relationship. Closes that navigation gap. 16 reciprocal backlinks added via check-backlinks.py —fix. Article count 150 → 151.

  • 2026-05-28: compile-4 — 10 new articles drawing from the Phase C ingest (PR #23). Concepts (5): code-as-speech (Bernstein-v-United-States thesis), ring-signatures (CryptoNote/Monero), zk-snarks (Zerocash/Zcash), forward-secrecy (Signal), key-escrow-and-clipper-chip (1990s Crypto Wars). Work-refs (5): bernstein-v-united-states-1999, cryptonote-whitepaper, zerocash, signal-x3dh, signal-double-ratchet. Backlink-audit script verified zero reciprocity misses (codex incorporated the explicit reciprocity instruction in the prompt; pre-emptive audit confirmed). Article count 140 → 150.

  • 2026-05-28: ingest — Phase C cypherpunk-canon completion (7 new raw files, ~728KB). Two dossiers (1990s Crypto Wars 140.8KB; cypherpunks mailing-list curated subset 133.3KB) + five primary documents: Bernstein v. United States 9th Circuit opinion (1999), CryptoNote v2.0, Zerocash extended paper, Signal X3DH, Signal Double Ratchet. Closes the ‘Still missing’ list named in wiki/topics/cypherpunk.md after the 2026-05-28 compile-3 pass. Sources count 104 → 111.

  • 2026-05-28: compile — Two-pass compile on 2026-05-28 Phase B and Saifedean material plus the canon-completion audit. Compile-2 (10 articles): 4 new concepts (lightning-network, pgp-and-the-crypto-wars, unforgeable-costliness, fiat-as-engineered-system) and 6 new references (phil-zimmermann, hal-finney, the-bitcoin-standard, the-fiat-standard, principles-of-economics-ammous, are-bitcoins-ownable). Compile-3 (11 work-references): Salerno trilogy (the-true-money-supply-salerno-1987, mises-and-hayek-dehomogenized, money-sound-and-unsound); foundational crypto (hashcash, new-directions-in-cryptography, blind-signatures-for-untraceable-payments, security-without-identification, tor-the-second-generation-onion-router); Bitcoin synthesis (the-lightning-network-paper, bitcoin-is-venice, speculative-attack). Plus inline-italic-to-dual-link upgrades on existing articles that cited TMS, Dehomogenized, and MSU by full title. 21 new articles, ~38 backlink updates total. Article count 119 → 140.

  • 2026-05-28: ingest — Saifedean Ammous’s two trade books in full text from the Internet Archive: The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking (Wiley, 2018; foreword by Taleb) and The Fiat Standard: The Debt Slavery Alternative to Human Civilization (2021). The Bitcoin Standard supersedes the 2026-05-27 metadata stub. The Fiat Standard is a first-time ingest. With Principles of Economics (ingested earlier today), the wiki now carries all three of Saifedean’s main books at primary-source depth. Sources count 102 → 104.

  • 2026-05-28: ingest — Phase B cypherpunk ingest plus user-requested Principles of Economics full-text (5 new raw files). Phil Zimmermann Why I Wrote PGP (1991/1999) — founding political text of the Crypto Wars era. Curated Hal Finney corpus: Bitcoin and Me (2013), RPOW announcement (2004), and Hal’s first Bitcoin reaction on the cryptography mailing list (2008). Saifedean Ammous Principles of Economics full text from the Internet Archive scan (principles-of-economics_202409, 4.2MB PDF → 807KB extracted) — supersedes the 2026-05-27 stub. Lightning Network whitepaper (Poon & Dryja, 2016) — Bitcoin second-layer scaling reference. Konrad Graf Are Bitcoins Ownable? retry — found at the author’s own free PDF mirror after the 2026-05-27 SNI URLs failed; supersedes the failed-fetch stub. Closes the four canonical gaps flagged inside the new wiki/topics/cypherpunk.md topic article.

  • 2026-05-28: topic — added wiki/topics/cypherpunk.md, a dedicated topic map for the cypherpunk thread covering the manifestos (May, Hughes, Barlow), the technical lineage (Diffie-Hellman → Chaum → Hashcash → b-money → Bit Gold → Bitcoin), the Szabo-as-Austrian-bridge thesis, and the modern synthesis writers (Saifedean, Rochard, Farrington). Adjacent to but distinct from the existing privacy-and-cryptography topic — cypherpunk emphasizes the political-movement axis, privacy-and-cryptography emphasizes praxeology of privacy. Expanded Quick Navigation on this homepage to surface the 5 topics by name. Added reciprocal See Also entries on 10 cypherpunk-canon articles plus the 3 adjacent topics. Repositioned master description from Austrian-libertarian-only to “Where Austrian economics meets cypherpunk code.” (PR #15.)

  • 2026-05-27: compile — drafted 10 new wiki articles from the 2026-05-27 cypherpunk-canon ingest. New concepts: crypto-anarchy, trusted-third-parties-as-security-holes, smart-contracts, proof-of-work, shelling-out (the Szabo bridge to existing Mengerian/Misesian regression theorem material in the-theory-of-money-and-credit), public-key-cryptography. New references: timothy-c-may, nick-szabo, satoshi-nakamoto, bitcoin-whitepaper. Added See Also backlinks to 11 existing articles (cash-holding, market-anarchism-and-private-law, nonaggression-and-property-rights, power-projection, praxeology-of-privacy, state-power-and-intervention, softwar, the-theory-of-money-and-credit, austrian-economics, libertarianism, privacy-and-cryptography) so the cypherpunk thread cross-references the Austrian-libertarian spine bidirectionally.

  • 2026-05-27: ingest — bulk cypherpunk-canon ingest into raw/articles/ and raw/papers/ (22 sources, 23 files). Tier 1 founding manifestos: Tim May Crypto Anarchist Manifesto (1988), Eric Hughes A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto (1993), Tim May Cyphernomicon (1994, full ~1.1MB), Satoshi Nakamoto Bitcoin whitepaper (2008), John Perry Barlow Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace (1996). Tier 2 Nick Szabo bridge essays: Shelling Out (Mengerian origins of money), Trusted Third Parties Are Security Holes, Smart Contracts, The God Protocols, Bit Gold, Money, Blockchains, and Social Scalability. Tier 3 cryptographic primary papers: Chaum Blind Signatures (1982) and Security Without Identification (1985), Diffie-Hellman New Directions in Cryptography (1976), Adam Back Hashcash (2002), Wei Dai b-money (1998), Tor design (2004). Tier 4 Austrian/cypherpunk synthesis: Saifedean Ammous The Bitcoin Standard and Principles of Economics (stubs — commercial books), Pierre Rochard Speculative Attack, Allen Farrington Bitcoin Is Venice. One stub: Konrad Graf Are Bitcoins Ownable? (SNI URLs 404’d — manual retry pending). Extends the wiki from purely Austrian-libertarian into the cypherpunk canon at primary-source depth; the Szabo essays in particular bridge to existing concepts like regression-theorem, austrian-economics, and nonaggression-and-property-rights.

  • 2026-05-24: thesis — added 2026-05-24-imf-sdr-climate-conditionality; regenerated newsroom indexes and backlinks.

  • 2026-05-18: news-lens — re-filed NATO 3.5%-floor news post under the 2026-05-18 slug; wrote new endorse-stance thesis 2026-05-18-nato-defense-spending-floor-protection-racket (prior 2026-05-16-… and 2026-05-17-… index references had no on-disk files) plus rewrote focused tilly-on-protection-rackets and rothbard-on-war-and-the-state concept articles as X-thread citation targets; updated five stale See-Also references from the 2026-05-16 slug to the new 2026-05-18 slug across war-and-state-formation, state-power-and-intervention, political-means-and-economic-means, references/anatomy-of-the-state, and references/war-making-and-state-making-as-organized-crime.

  • 2026-05-18: ingest — two NATO primary-source documents → raw/articles/. The 1949 North Atlantic Treaty (Washington, 4 April 1949) supplies Article 3 (“continuous and effective self-help and mutual aid”) as the treaty-level spending hook, plus Article 5 collective defense; the 2014 Wales Summit Declaration (5 September 2014) supplies paragraph 14, the Defence Investment Pledge, which is the textual origin of the 2% of GDP guideline (“aim to move towards the 2% guideline within a decade”) and the 20% major-equipment guideline. Closes the news-lens-flagged gap on post-1949 Atlantic-alliance treaty mechanics — the historical sequence from Article 3 to Wales ¶14 to the May 2026 raise.

  • 2026-05-18: ingest — OECD (2018), The Role and Design of Net Wealth Taxes in the OECD, Tax Policy Studies No. 26 → raw/papers/. Metadata stub plus partial full-text aggregate (Foreword, Executive Summary, Ch. 1 overview/repeal-sequence, Ch. 5 conclusions). Closes the news-lens-flagged gap on the post-1990 European net wealth tax repeal sequence: Austria 1994, Denmark 1997, Germany 1997, Netherlands 2001, Finland/Iceland/Luxembourg 2006, Sweden 2007, France’s 1 January 2018 ISF→IFI conversion; 12 → 4 OECD countries levying individual net wealth taxes between 1990 and 2017.

  • 2026-05-18: news-lens — re-filed EU wealth-tax directive news post under the 2026-05-18 slug; wrote new critique-stance thesis 2026-05-18-eu-wealth-tax-directive-capital-consumption (the pre-existing 2026-05-17-… index reference had no on-disk file) plus focused rothbard-on-wealth-tax and mises-on-capital-consumption concept articles as X-thread citation targets; updated five stale See-Also references in state-power-and-intervention, political-means-and-economic-means, references/power-and-market, references/liberalism, references/democracy-the-god-that-failed, and theses/2026-05-10-state-as-parasite-thesis from the 2026-05-17 slug to the 2026-05-18 slug.

  • 2026-05-18: news-lens — re-filed fourth Argentina rent-decontrol news post under the 2026-05-18 slug; reused the existing 2026-05-19-argentina-rent-decontrol-2023 thesis (rewrote thesis body and focused mises-on-rent-ceilings and rothbard-on-price-controls concept articles, which were stale-indexed but missing on disk in the trial wiki) as X-thread citation targets.

  • 2026-05-17: news-lens — re-filed third Argentina rent-decontrol news post under the 2026-05-17 slug; reused the existing 2026-05-19-argentina-rent-decontrol-2023 thesis (rewrote thesis body, which was stale-indexed but missing on disk in the trial wiki), pointing at the existing focused mises-on-rent-ceilings and rothbard-on-price-controls concept articles as X-thread citation targets.

  • 2026-05-17: news-lens — re-filed May 2026 Fed rate-cut news post under the 2026-05-17 slug; wrote new endorse-stance thesis 2026-05-17-fed-may-2026-rate-cut-abct (the pre-existing 2026-05-16-… index reference had no on-disk file); wrote focused mises-on-credit-expansion and rothbard-on-fed-induced-boom concept articles as X-thread citation targets; updated the ABCT concept See Also pointer.

  • 2026-05-17: news-lens — filed EU wealth-tax directive news post and wrote critique-stance thesis 2026-05-17-eu-wealth-tax-directive-capital-consumption; added focused rothbard-on-wealth-tax and mises-on-capital-consumption concept articles as X-thread citation targets; added reciprocal See Also backlinks on the cited concept and sister focused articles.

  • 2026-05-16: news-lens — filed NATO defense-spending-floor news post and wrote endorse-stance thesis 2026-05-16-nato-defense-spending-floor-protection-racket; added focused tilly-on-protection-rackets and rothbard-on-war-and-the-state concept articles as X-thread citation targets; added reciprocal See Also backlinks on the cited concept, reference, and thesis pages.

  • 2026-05-09: Ingested Mises, The Theory of Money and Credit (1912 German; 1934 English trans. by H. E. Batson; 1953 Yale “new edition” with Monetary Reconstruction essay). The 500-page PDF contains the original 1912 statement of the present-good-for-future-good definition of credit (“If credit in the economic sense means the exchange of a present good or a present service against a future good or a future service…”), closing the documented gap behind the credit-and-deferred-payment concept article.
