Mises Wire

Bridge of Freedom

Bridge of Freedom
It turns out that France’s spectacular new Millau bridge, the tallest and surely the most beautiful ever built, was financed without taxes and at a fraction of the price taxpayers might have otherwise forked over. This SFChron article tries to come to terms with the price difference between this private brdige ($522 million) and the Bay Bridge ($5 billion).

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.
