Fight For Formosa or Not?

I have long been puzzled by the haste and of the conservative-interventionists’ desire for a showdown. Why do all of them implicitly believe that time is on the side of communism?

Elon Musk Is Wrong About Money

Elon Musk‘s latest comments on money make the same errors as we saw with Milton Friedman and the Monetarists. If Musk really wants to understand money, he needs to read Murray Rothbard and Ludwig von Mises.

The Impotence of Knowledge in Economics

Mainstream economists make too much out of “knowledge.” First, the kind of knowledge one needs to be successful in an economy is not knowing things generally but having an understanding that is more than knowing mere facts. The entrepreneur‘s judgement is ultimately what matters.

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.
