No Amnesty, No Citizenship

Even if we can agree that labor markets should be generally unregulated, there is no property-rights case for offering citizenship to illegal aliens through so-called “amnesty.”

Say’s Law and the Riots in France

As we look back on the recent riots in France, we look even further back to the wisdom of another Frenchman, J. B. Say who understood something about economics and what makes a good society. Keynes claimed to “refute” Say’s Law when, in reality, he refuted nothing.

Regime Libertarians

We need more Laissez-Faire Libertarians who understand that society needs no top-down rule. No society in the world needs good government in order to be free; it needs sectors of society that government cannot touch.

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.
