The Austrian case that government meddling always carries hidden long-run costs, however helpful it looks at first. From Carl Menger forward, Lew Rockwell celebrates the free market as an engine of prosperity and liberty no planner can replicate.

From the book Speaking of Liberty, as narrated by the author, pp. 13-25.

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.
