No Business Left “Untouched”

No Business Left “Untouched”

During a recession, that is. The economic slump has so affected brothels in Berlin, they have been forced to provide “happy hours” where customers are greeted with half-price discounts. “Even the world’s oldest business is suffering under the ongoing recession. And prostitutes are continually having to make reductions even though their prices have considerably decreased over the last 15 years.”

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.
