Sell out and die

Sell out and die

Be sure to see Murray Rothbard’s piece up this morning on LRC: Sell Out and Die. He argues that compromising principle is ultimately self defeating for any ideological movement. It causes the movement to be absorbed into the regime and lose the edge that is necessary for bringing about real change. It originally ran in a publication called CADRE which probably had a circulation of half a dozen. In any case, now it is available for all.

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.
