Biden’s Blarney on Bank Fees

While President Biden’s inflationary economy continues to falter, the president proposes to outlaw bank overdraft fees, ostensibly to help lower-income Americans. Bank fees, however, are not the biggest threat consumers face; inflation and intervention are the real threats.

Phony Civil Rights

The expansion of “civil rights” places emphasis upon “positive rights” that apply to specific groups with political privilege. This is a far cry from the concept of rights that helped build a free society in the United States.

Caitlin Clark, Bullying and the Business of Basketball

Caitlin Clark, with her array of basketball skills, has filled arenas in her inaugural WNBA season. However, the idea of merit clashes with the leftist, egalitarian mindset that dominates in the league, and the early reaction to her success has been discouraging.

The American Empire

The Roman Empire never doubted that it was the defender of civilization. Americans have added freedom and democracy. Yet the more that may be added to it the more it is the same language still. A language of power.

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.
