The nation is in turmoil, and the roots of our economic troubles lie in government intervention.
For years, Americans have been burdened by economic crises that seem to appear out of nowhere, yet economists claim they are simply a result of “animal spirits” and market psychology.
In reality, the disastrous cycle of boom and bust can be traced directly back to reckless government policies, not the free market principles many predictably blame.
A recent discussion by economist Mark Thornton sheds light on how government intervention in money and banking has paved the way for financial catastrophes.
Perhaps it is time we woke up to the fact that the very institutions positioned to safeguard against these crises are the ones perpetuating them.
From the housing bubble to inflationary policies, Thornton argues that central banks and excessive government spending have created an environment ripe for crisis.
Under the guise of stability, these interventions disrupt natural market rhythms, leading to the bubbles that inevitably burst and leave American families reeling.
Take, for instance, the Dutch Tulip Bubble and the Great Depression, both classic case studies in how government interference generates unsustainable economic conditions.
As businesses struggle under the weight of inflated regulations, it becomes clear that true economic recovery will only occur when we disentangle the market from government excess.
The current administration under President Trump is already taking steps toward reclaiming economic sovereignty by rolling back regulations that stifle innovation and growth.
This administration understands that promoting free-market policies encourages entrepreneurship, which is the backbone of a healthy economy and resonates with conservative ideals focusing on individual empowerment.
As we reflect on the recurring nature of economic downturns, we must consider whether the solution lies within more government intervention or a recommitment to limited government and free-market principles.
No longer can we afford to let government meddling dictate our economic destiny.
It is time to renew our faith in the American spirit of self-reliance and innovation—principles that have always driven our nation forward.
In this critical juncture, the American people must demand accountability from those in power and advocate for economic policies that champion freedom rather than dependency.
We must call for a return to the foundational truths of our economy—one where the invisible hand drives progress, not the heavy hand of government intervention.
The future of our economy—and the livelihoods of millions—hinges on the decisions we make today.
