Eliot Spitzer Finds WMD

Eliot Spitzer Finds WMD

Property Casualty Insurers Association president Ernie Csiszar has bitterly complained about New York prosecutor/gubernatorial candidate Eliot Spitzer’s unfair use of the threat of jail and trial by media against business executives. Spitzer is himself guilty of conflict of interest, but answers to no higher authority. This is perhaps the most frank and pointed protest against Spitzer recorded to date by an industry leader.

Csiszar: “Spitzer has discovered the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. It wasn’t Saddam Hussein; it was Spitzer’s corporate terrorism, the threat of an indictment, the threat of going to jail.”

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.
