Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone on January 9, 2007. The 4GB model sold for $499. At the time, limited-service restaurant workers earned an average of $9.16 per hour, making the time price of the iPhone 54.5 hours. Fast forward to today: the iPhone 173 is priced at $599, while today’s limited-service restaurant workers are earning $18.95 per hour. That brings the time price down to 31.6 hours—a reduction of 22.9 hours. Today you get 2.4 iPhone 17es for the same time price of one 2007 model. The real question is: How much more are you getting for 22.9 hours less work? Today’s iPhone offers vastly superior memory, speed, screen quality, and functionality—not to mention access to over two million Read More ›

For Iceland to thrive, it must continue to unleash its creative energy—to innovate, to speak, and to let knowledge flow as freely as its geothermal springs. Iceland is proof that wealth is not in the ground but in the mind. When faced with the scarcity of matter, Icelanders discovered the infinite power of knowledge. Read More ›

If you've overlooked A Bug's Life, you've bypassed one of the most uplifting films ever crafted. This animated triumph ranks among the most profound celebrations of libertarian principles on screen, championing the creative spark that drives human progress. It's perhaps no coincidence the film debuted in that innovative year of 1998, the same year as the founding of Google and PayPal, and the launch of the Apple iMac. Read More ›

On a recent flight from Utah to Washington DC I made a new friend when I told him that I was going to give a presentation on how our planet was infinitely bountiful. Most people are shocked when you tell them that resources will be fine but that there’re not enough people. They’ve been told all their lives that we live on a finite planet with finite resources and that if life left is “unchecked” life will cease to exist. We had a great discussion for four hours, during which he made an important observation: products today don’t seem like they last as long as they used to. Read More ›

Information Economics: George Gilder’s “Life After Capitalism”

What underpins this understanding of economics is what George Gilder calls the "materialist superstition." From the capitalism of Adam Smith and David Ricardo to the socialism of Karl Marx, classical economics to socialist economics rest on the assumed pillar of Newtonian determinism and static materialism. There is also only so much matter to go around, the materialist superstition has us believe, therefore, no amount of incentives and technological innovation can avoid the fact that we will run out of material goods.
