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.

Anyone knows what is all this about? Does this has any sense or is it just some nut conspiracy?

Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports exists. Do governments own or control huge chunks of major corporations? Yes.

To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process.

So this is real? Then why no one talks about this? I would think this would be a big thing. At the end this would be a very subtle way to turn the USA into a communist country, the big corporations owned by the goverment.

Here I was thinking it was the contrawise. Corporations own or control governments. It's a bunch of letters patent granted to donating interests. Hell, can't graft just be made a crime.

Perhaps these are the throngs of mercantilism? Takes a lot of stealing to give people favours, and suckle from the common weal.

Why would the status quo want to change?
