Occupation Is Freedom

Occupation Is Freedom

Thanks to a couple of senators who don’t always act like intellectual bodyguards of the House of Bush, Rumsfeld admits to $3.9 billion a month as the cost of the occupation of Iraq. Given Pentagon financial fibs, it’s probably double that, of course. Meanwhile, Bush describes military dictatorship as freedom.

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.
