Recently President Trump threatened to invade Mexico—all in its best interest, of course—in order to smash the drug cartels that are responsible for funneling so many illegal drugs into the US. There is no doubt that the drug cartels are wealthy and vicious criminals. Apparently they have taken over major towns and provinces in Mexico and have assassinated local officials and anyone else trying to curb their “trade.” Is there any alternative to...

What is the Mises Institute?
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...

Free Trade with All Nations
Richard Cobden (1804-1865) was a British member of Parliament who championed free trade, the repeal of the Corn Laws, and a laissez-faire economy.[A speech delivered in Manchester, England, January 15, 1846]I shall begin the few remarks which I have to offer to this meeting by proposing, contrary to my usual custom, a resolution; and it is, “That the merchants, manufacturers, and other members of the National Anti-Corn-Law League claim no...

The Saint-Simonians in Our Midst: Ben Bernanke and the GFC
Henri de Saint-Simon (1760-1825), a French intellectual, was one of the founding fathers of socialism. Saint-Simon wanted to forge a “scientific understanding of society” which he would use to eliminate poverty and inequality by centrally planning the economy through the Parisian Banking Houses.In this article, I argue that Ben Bernanke—along with his other two musketeers, Hank Paulson and Timothy Geithner—are Saint-Simonians par excellence,...

Skin Tone Products, Markets, and “White Privilege”
The first time I read about “white privilege” in college was on a Blackboard assigned readings list. This was not a class I attended, but had access to in order to provide some help to the professor. As it turned out, I had read the original paper on this topic: Peggy McIntosh’s “White Privilege and Male Privilege: A Personal Account of Coming to See Correspondences Through Work in Women’s Studies” (1988).While many critiques could be made—and have...

Foreign Aid, Reparations, And Economic Growth
Developing countries in Africa and the Caribbean continue to press the United Kingdom for reparations, believing that financial compensation will rejuvenate their economies. However, history has demonstrated that large inflows of money from rich nations have failed to spur sustained economic growth. Africa alone has received over $1 trillion in aid, yet economic performance across the continent remains disappointing. Similarly, Commonwealth nations...

Economic Illiteracy Handicaps Britain’s New Right Wing Party
While much has been written about the “vibe shift” in America since Trump’s reelection, an almost equal feeling of change has recently been felt in British politics. Following the Conservatives’ landslide defeat in July 2024, the incoming Labour government’s popularity collapsed almost as soon as they took office.This general discontent with the major parties, combined with an increasing focus on immigration, seems tailor-made to benefit Reform...

Herbert Hoover, Enemy of Free Markets
American History is the source of many enduring myths. George Washington didn’t chop down the cherry tree, Abraham Lincoln did not free the slaves (or even end slavery in this country), and Jim Crow was not the natural heir to post-war policies in the South in the 1860s and 70s. But myths persist, not because of any truths inherent in them, but because certain people find it advantageous to promote them. And perhaps there is no greater myth being...
