Oh Please. Can you believe it?

Oh Please. Can you believe it?

This is Greenspan, the former head of the Fed, whose job it is to keep the entire banking system afloat despite its inherent bankruptcy: “Government guarantees of the liabilities of institutions viewed as too big to fail thwarts the competitive process that produces capital efficiency,Of all the regulatory challenges that have emerged out of this crisis, I view the [“too big to fail”} problem and the…precedents, now fresh in everyone’s mind, as the most threatening to market efficiency and our economic future.”

These guys are usually better out of office than in. If we could just keep everyone out of office, we’d be good to go.

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.
