What is the alternative?

If Paul Craig Roberts is right about capital flight in a globalized world being devastating to the American standard of living and quite beneficial to Asian nations (which is not a position I’m entirely convinced of yet), then I’d like to hear his thoughts about “how best to recreate the conditions under which free trade produces shared gains.”  It would seem to me that draconian measures would be required to make capital immobile, and these efforts would likely fail to maintain American well-being.  What does Mr. Roberts have in mind?

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.
