As soon as an undertaking is no longer operated under the profit motive, other principles must be adopted for the conduct of its affairs.

From Chapter III: “Bureaucratic Management of Publicly Owned Enterprises”. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

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.
