Robert Taft Old Right

The Rebellious Old Right

What Murray Rothbard used to call the "Old Right" stood for liberty, freedom of speech, and a free economy. Most importantly, they stood for peace, all in contrast to the "liberals" of their day and ours.

Why Marx Was Wrong about Workers and Wages

Marx built his infamous Labor Theory of Value on the premise that labor itself was a commodity. However, as Mises and other Austrians have noted, Marx failed both at understanding the complexity of labor and subjective value theories.

Smashing the Western Illusion of Democracy

When our ruling classes speak of “believing in democracy,” they are speaking of a romantic version of a form of governance that, in real life, is quite different than the sanitized version presented in our media.

New “Engels” on Marx

It is understood that Marx’s theories stand entirely upon his Labor Theory of Value. If that theory is discredited, so is the scenario that leads to the inevitable triumph of communism. That fact, however, doesn’t stop Marx’s disciples from employing other fallacies.

It’s Always Been Hamiltonian Statecraft

The ruling elites of the US are calling for a “return” to “Hamiltonian Statecraft” and to move away from so-called isolationism. However, there has been no time since the end of World War II that the US has been anything but aggressive in its foreign policy.

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.
