It’s Saddam’s Sons’ Fault!

Snow Says Death of Saddam Sons Helps Economy (AFP): “The death of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s two sons helps the US economy by removing some uncertainty, Treasury Secretary John Snow said. Snow was asked by a Fox Television reporter for his reaction to Wall Street’s bounce after news of the deaths emerged. ‘Well, I think anything that removes uncertainty about the course of progress in Iraq is positive, and that certainly removes some uncertainty,’ the US economic chief said.”

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.
