Why Trump’s Victory Matters, and Why It Doesn’t

Donald Trump’s win last night is arguably an even bigger repudiation of the establishment than his win in 2016. And that’s worth celebrating. But there is much the electorate still needs to understand about how those in power are ripping us off if we’re ever going to see an end to it.

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.
