African nations such as Nigeria and Kenya desperately need market economies and freedom from the socialism and statism that infects the governing elite of that continent. California politicians are in a state of denial as deadly wildfires burn out of control throughout the state, the latest being in Los Angeles. Their denialism in the face of real facts shows that California politically has become La-La Land. Protectionist tariff taxes are nothing more than a price-fixing conspiracy orchestrated by the state that enriches a relatively small group of politically connected corporations.
When it seemed central Europe would succumb to the terrors of Bolshevism, Ludwig von Mises wrote his classic book, Socialism , convincing fellow Austrians that socialism was destructive. Mises influenced F. Ryan McMaken and Heather Carson discuss how homeschooling is a way to resist and sabotage the many ways the state centralizes power and destroys private institutions.
Economist Jonathan Newman joins Ryan to discuss how deficit spending and runaway debt is causing price inflation and higher interest rates. Join the Mises Institute for its fifth year in a row in Tampa for an exciting discussion on the future of academia and alternatives to state-controlled education. The Mises Apprenticeship is designed for those who want to engage in the battlefield of ideas from outside the constrained and stagnant ivory tower.
The Austrian Economics Research Conference is the international, interdisciplinary meeting of the Austrian School, bringing together leading scholars doing research in this vibrant and influential intellectual tradition. 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.
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. Support Mises. What Happens in a Mixed Economy? The Myth of Long and Variable Lags.
