Kissinger rose through a Council on Foreign Relations study group and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, receiving $50,000 from Nelson Rockefeller three days before taking office under Nixon. Rothbard covers the secret bombing and invasion of Cambodia and the $8 million the CIA funneled into Chile to bring down Allende, with copper and ITT interests at stake.

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.
