The Forgotten Memo

The Forgotten Memo

Recall that Donald Rumsfeld admitted three years ago in a leaked memo that the war on terror could not be won, and might actually be recruiting more people into the terrorist ranks. He further points out that the government lacks any real means to discern whether it is winning or losing (Mises!). Here is my article from that period.

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.
