Central banking is Marxism in drag. The entire world economy is practically socialist, with the exception of some local economies in US red states, and very large-cap industries in the Russosphere where the tragic lessons of communism have finally been learnt at the cost of countless millions murdered, starved or otherwise killed. We are in for a very rough ride in the near future.
The apologists for the status quo always try to "asterisk" everything, as though everyone who lived before they were born was just being over-confident whenever they spoke. Somehow, the apologists themselves are the exception to this, and their pronouncements that Mises/et. al. "got a few things wrong" is not itself an example of baseless confidence. It's a trick I'm running into more and more online in the last couple years, it seems to be saturating the entire Internet. These people are self-appointed experts in the exceptions that supposedly disprove the rule. This kind of acid-etch pedantry eventually corrodes away all possibility of communication because it is impossible to make any sort of claim whatsoever without somebody piping up with a supposed "exception". Note how this is isomorphic to gender-theory -- any form of generalization about gender is ipso facto invalid and any attempt at communication on the subject becomes drowned in a cacophony of "exceptions". The end-result is that communication, as such, becomes completely impossible, and we are all locked into some kind of weird, non-verbal game of social posturing. Aka Clown World.
But Mises wrote about this, too: The Revolt Against Reason.
