Vance vs. Walz: Should the Government “Do Something”?

Tuesday night’s Vice-Presidential Debate was remarkable not for what was said (which was forgettable), but for what was not asked: What should be the proper role of government in what purports to be a free society? Neither candidates nor the moderators were interested in that question.

America Doesn’t Need More “Efficient” Government

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to make the federal government more efficient. But if the true aim of our political system is not to solve the problems facing Americans but to transfer wealth to the government and the politically-connected, the government is already very efficient.

“Hate Symbols” and the Meaning of Liberty

Western governments are keen on pursuing “hate crimes” and criminalizing what it calls “hate symbols.” However, these governments reserve to themselves just how one defines “hate,” which is nothing more than an attack upon free speech.

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.
