War: Big Government's Best Friend

War doesn’t liberate; it enslaves. It is the state on overdrive: taxing, inflating, kidnapping, killing. Speakers from the Mises Institute explain why an anti-war spirit must always and everywhere be a key component to the defense of economic freedom. 25 February 2012, Furman University, Greenville, SC.

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.
