Leo XIV and Rerum Novarum

When Cardinal Robert Prevost was named Pope, he took the name of Pope Leo XIV. Leo XIII authored Rerum Novarum, which is the basis for Catholic social teaching and is friendlier to private property and free markets than anything the Vatican has produced since then.

The Labour Party Is Undermining the British Economy

Britain‘s Labour Party won an overwhelming victory at the last election, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has already following the script of Labour when it was run by communists. Already, a large number of wealthy taxpayers have left the country for lower tax havens.

Emphasizing the Mirage, Downplaying the Reality

As housing prices have skyrocketed in Ireland, the government did what governments do all too often: impose rent controls. Such interventions into the housing market have created downstream effects that continue to encourage even more intervention.

The American Revolution Was a Culture War

The Boston Tea Party was an opening act in what came to be a violent culture war and war of national liberation. And it helps us understand how America could become as bitterly divided as it was during the revolution.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
