Mises Wire

Trying to stay ahead of the government printing press is the modern citizen’s constant worry.

The Mises Institute exists to set the record straight. Economics shouldn’t be left to “experts” with Ivy League degrees serving in government agencies. It exposes the schemes of ambitious politicians and would-be tyrants everywhere.

The NRA would be wise to vote with its feet. Millions of Americans have already escaped the high taxes and freedom-destroying blue state regimes by doing the same.

Today’s macroeconomic beliefs defy all the historical evidence with their focus on increasing the economic presence of the state at the expense of the productive private sector.

Homicides were flat through 2019. Then spring 2020 arrived, and with it a wave of homicides in many American cities. Could the social and economic effects of lockdowns be the cause?

No man has the power to take life or property from another except in self defense. It would be immoral to do otherwise, and man cannot make it moral by having the state do it.

In Brazil the most effective reforms seem to be accumulating at the state and local levels. There has been real success in pushing back against tax increases and more.

In a very real sense Dr. Paul is the only Misesian ever to serve in Congress. 

Today marks the birthday of Ludwig von Mises, and day #2 of our Annual Fall Campaign.

It's increasingly clear two things are going on: leftists are very interested in taking their rioting and looting far beyond city limits, and government police are not interested in doing much about it.
