Chafuen on European Antitrust

Chafuen on European Antitrust

The Atlas Institute’s Alejandro Chafuen in the European Journal (in .pdf; scroll down to page 8):  “Europeans often complain that letting the companies with the best products win in the marketplace is the equivalent of ‘economic Darwinism.’ They forget that government bodies have typically been the most voracious predators of productive companies and innocent bystanders. Did you ever feel more threatened by the maker of your computer than by your country’s tax collector or regulator?”

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 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.
