So long as the unchecked army of bureaucrats, technocrats, and deep-state operatives is allowed free rein, it will be impossible to make progress in limiting the state’s power over individuals.
To explore what must be done, and to understand the true extent of the damage done by the regime’s bureaucrats, this issue of The Misesian draws upon the work of Mises Institute President Tom DiLorenzo, Senior Fellow Tom Woods, and Dr. Robert Malone, who all spoke at our Mises Circle in Phoenix last month, whose theme was “Our Enemy, the Bureaucracy.” DiLorenzo looks at how the bureaucrats use their power to manipulate political institutions and grow the regime. After all, they’re political operatives seeking out new ways to increase their own power. Woods and Malone explore how the bureaucracy has seized control of the healthcare industry and has endangered our health in the process.

Scholar Spotlight—Łukasz Jasiński
