Mises obliterated the entire socialist project in 1920 with one devastating insight: "Where there is no free market, there is no pricing mechanism; without a pricing mechanism, there is no economic calculation." The socialists spent the next century pretending this problem didn't exist while their economies collapsed around them.
And yet here we are, watching politicians promise they can "fix" healthcare, housing, and energy markets through central planning. They can't even calculate the cost of their own programs correctly — how exactly are they going to allocate resources across an entire economy?
Every Venezuelan breadline, every Soviet grain shortage, every Chinese famine was just Mises being proven right in the most brutal way possible. But sure, let's try democratic socialism this time. What could go wrong?

Atenção para pegadinha oculta na MEDIDA PROVISÓRIA Nº 1.288 do Lula sobre a não taxação do PIX: em um certo trecho ele determina que o pagamento via PIX seja equiparado ao pagamento em espécie, consequentemente o lojista não poderá mais abrir mão de receber PIX. Abram o olho...

Sabia que dá para rastrear quando Gilmar Mendes se voltou contra a Lava Jato?
Se buscar no Google com filtro de data, verá que até 19 de agosto de 2016 ele só elogiava a operação.
Preste atenção especial na primeira notícia. 🧶
