Get Your Free Booklet by Tom DiLorenzo!

If there’s one thing the mainstream hates, it’s for you to learn anything that goes against the official version of history:

  • World War II spending ended the Great Depression.
  • The US was founded as a democracy.
  • Three of our best presidents were Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

This narrative is a tool they use to maintain control, but it collapses if citizens dare to think for themselves.

That’s what Mises Institute president Tom DiLorenzo did this past July when he gave a lecture on why Lincoln, Wilson, and Roosevelt are actually three of the worst presidents in US history.

He said, “In reality, Lincoln, FDR, and Wilson were by far America’s worst presidents because of their shared penchant for dictatorship, corruption, lawlessness, attacking constitutional liberties, warmongering, and imprisoning dissenters and political opponents, as well as for socialism, economic fascism, and lame-brained government interventionism.”

Tom went on to dissect the failures of their administrations. We liked his lecture so much that we decided to publish it as a booklet.

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.
