Justice

The Juridical Model of Justice

When we speak of “justice,” how does one define it? More importantly, what is the authority by which justice is defined? Murray Rothbard believed that law and justice were derived from natural law, not the edicts of the state.

Private Security in South Africa

Thanks to massive economic intervention by South Africa’s government, both crime and poverty are soaring as the society slowly implodes. Police protection is almost nonexistent, so many South Africans are turning toward private security as an alternative.

The 1990s: A Pivotal Foreign Policy Decade

While the American people may have been ignorant of the foreign policy history of the 1990s to their detriment, and politicians—whether sincere or not—expressed bewilderment, many understood the direct link between foreign policy interventionism and terrorist attacks.

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.
