The state has a stranglehold on education. From kindergarten to post-graduate programs in public institutions, students are indoctrinated with state narratives wokeism, and the virtues of economic interventionism.
Some conservative governors are battling the progressive leftists’ takeover of the education system by banning DEI programs, altering curricula, and appointing new college presidents and trustees. Moreover, homeschooling has skyrocketed in popularity as concerned parents follow Murray Rothbard’s advice in Education: Free and Compulsory: “For anyone who is interested in the dignity of human life, in the progress and development of the individual in a free society, the choice between parental and State control over the children is clear.”
Education is a critical arena in the battle of ideas. It’s why the Mises Institute is dedicated to teaching and promoting Austrian economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard. The only way to achieve a free society is by countering, reversing, and replacing state propaganda with sound economics and critical thinking.
Join the Mises Institute for a fifth year in a row in Tampa, FL, on Saturday, February 22, 2025, for an event on “Educating for Liberty.” Tom DiLorenzo, Patrick Newman, Jonathan Newman, and Timothy Terrell will speak on their experience in academia, the future of education, and promising alternatives to state-controlled education.

Why does it seem the Pentagon is far better at spending money than actually putting together a successful operation?

US Job Growth is Slower than Reported
2024-04-04
The news media has been reporting steady job growth in the US economy since the Covid 19 crisis. Employment has grown steadily. However, data on employment represents progress in the number of jobs filled. The total number of jobs in business plans is the sum of all filled and unfilled jobs, total employees plus total job openings (see the red line in the top-left graph below).The total number of jobs in the US economy increased rapidly up to March 2022. Total filled and unfilled jobs have fluctuated since March 2022, with little increase. Why have businesses been planning for relatively few new jobs?

California raised its minimum wage rate for the fast food industry to 20$ today. US Politicians haven’t targeted specific industries with minimum wage increases since the Great Depression.
