Murphy and Hoskins on the Fed

03/17/2008 Mises Wire Antoin E. Murphy

I join forces with an ex-Fed president in a vain attempt to stop the madness. (Purists, feel free to chastise us for not calling for the abolition of the Fed. On the other hand, this was the featured opinion piece on Forbes.com the day before the Fed meeting.)

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.
