Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.

Ron Paul - Beyond The Election

In 1962, Mises wrote in the preface of The Free and Prosperous Commonwealth:

“...I did not indulge in the vain hope that my account would prevent the impending catastrophe to which the policies adopted by the European nations were manifestly leading. All I wanted to achieve was to offer to the small minority of thoughtful people an opportunity to learn something about the aims of classical liberalism and thus to pave the way for a resurrection of the spirit of freedom AFTER the coming debacle.”

Replace "European nations" with "America" and you almost can't help but think of Ron Paul.

Perhaps winning the Presidency wasn't the major issue. After all, Ron Paul is getting more attention now by the media then ever...and his Campaign for Liberty is growing in leaps and bounds.

Of course that was the plan.  Did you really think that the Republican Party would nominate Ron Paul?  His plan was to get the information out and get people talking about  it.  He did for liberty what Perot did with the deficit in 92.

It strikes me that he is quite busy these days behind the scenes spreading the wisdom of Austrian Economics to members of the house.

PS. Perot got people talking about the deficit, but it has grown by leaps and bounds since then.
