The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude

La Boétie investigates the nature of the state and its status as a tiny minority of the population that adheres to different rules and claims the authority to rule everyone else, maintaining a monopoly on law. What happens when consent is withdrawn?

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.
