What is the Mises Institute?

ESG Undermines Social Welfare

2024-08-30

by

2024-08-30

ESG has become a buzzword for both the American Left and Right. For the Right, it is just a Trojan horse for progressive social attitudes to sneak into business. For the Left it is an alternative to the “cruel” profits-only business model of Milton Friedman. Some on the Right abhor ESG because they worship profit in some abstract material sense. They treat it as if consumerism and profit are materialistic ends to worship in of themselves. But what...

The Misesian, vol. 1, no. 4, 2024

Many millions of Americans fall for the government propaganda that uses wars as excuses to eviscerate American freedoms, spend trillions of dollars and rack up gargantuan deficits that will impose a heavy financial burden for decades to come. In recent centuries, though, there have been many who were not quite so easily fooled. These were the defenders of liberty we now call “classical liberals” or “radical liberals” or “libertarians.” Indeed, the...

Video: Rising Prices Are Caused by Monetary Inflation, Not Greed

by

2024-08-30

View the video version of this article below, or on Twitter/X.One of the myths being endlessly repeated in this inflationary cycle is the myth that rising prices are caused by greed.For example, Democratic senator Bob Casey is running around Pennsylvania campaigning on the idea while claiming he’ll solve the problem if you re-elect him. Kamala Harris is doing the same.But the fact that greed doesn’t cause inflation is obvious if we just ask why...

Democrats and Republicans alike warn of an impending war. Joseph Solis-Mullen, a libertarian who often writes for antiwar.com and knows a great deal about China (although he claims he is no Sinologist), dissents. In his view, China poses...

Why Military Conscription Is Worse Than Slavery

2024-08-30

by

2024-08-30

Libertarians understand — or should understand — that military conscription is a form of slavery or involuntary servitude. In fact, everyone should understand this. And yet conscription has been employed by the U.S. government for the past 161 years, ever since Abraham Lincoln signed the first federal conscription act into law in March 1863, enslaving thousands of American men.For those who are killed in battle or executed for desertion,...

Wisdom from Our Anti-War Libertarian Forerunners

2024-08-30

by

2024-08-30

From its earliest decades, the defenders of freedom — known historically as “classical liberals,” “radicals,” and “libertarians,” have sought to reduce and limit the war-making powers of the state. This is an unceasing theme across the ranks of the classical liberals, who come from many different nations and who, by today’s mainstream political standards, would nearly all be considered radical anti-war activists. Below is just a sampling of...

American Imperialism and Our Bipartisan Warfare State

The Misesian (TM): You have remarked that after 1900, all the pieces come into place for modernity in terms of the American warfare state. What are some of these pieces and how did they fall into place at that time?Hunt Tooley (HT): To some extent, the state has always used wars to maintain and increase domestic control.Shakespeare assumed as much in the famous instructions the dying Henry IV gives to his son: “Therefore, my Harry, be it thy course...

The Regime’s Wars Are Built on Lies

by

2024-08-30

Americans are increasingly uneasy about their “national” security, and increasingly concerned that war is lapping at our shores. Instead of reducing the risk of harm to America and our interests, the federal government in Washington seems to be seeking it, investing in it, fueling it and lying about it.Congress openly talks about fighting wars and reliably funds them, and we can easily verify that it’s piled billions of dollars into this particular...

I have four children, one of whom is grown, and all of them have grown up under a government that has continually waged elective and aggressive wars. There has never been a time in any of my children’s lives that Washington politicians were not incessantly haranguing the public about how “we are at war” and that anyone who opposes the regime is “with the terrorists,” “a foreign agent,” “unpatriotic,” or “anti-Semitic.” There has never been a time...

The Wisdom of Herbert Butterfield

Herbert Butterfield was Regius Professor of History at Cambridge University. He was a renowned historian, who contributed important books on diplomatic history, the history of historical writing, the politics of George III, and the history of science. He and Leonard Liggio—a close associate of Murray Rothbard for many decades—were friends.I would like to concentrate on an aspect of Butterfield’s thought, likely to be of considerable interest to...

Why Human Action Is Now More Timely Than Ever

2024-08-30

by

2024-08-30

From the May-June Issue of The Misesian.Few would deny that Human Action is the foundational work of modern Austrian economics and that this is a compelling reason for reading the book. But there is another, equally compelling reason for carefully studying Mises’s great treatise. It is the antidote to the real and immediate threat to human liberty and society represented by the pernicious social philosophy of progressivism. After the collapse of...

Do you know the term “matinee”? Originating from the French matinée, it means “morning” and it refers to artistic presentations or exhibitions held during the day. In the United States of the 1930s and 1940s, matinees were especially popular for airing “sitcoms”—weekly episodes full of adventure and suspense that kept audiences looking forward to the next chapter. These serials only arrived here in Brazil between the 50s and 60s.Using a political...

Kamala’s Housing Plan Will Make Housing Even More Expensive
