Right to Emigrate

Right to Emigrate

Today  Lew Rockwell comments on George Bush’s strange call for Syria and Iran to prevent its citizens from leaving the country and coming to Iraq, thereby seeming to embrace the totalitarian idea of forcibly preventing the right of exit (think: East Germany). On the same day, the US announced it has set up  exit controls around Uja, Iraq, such that no one can come or go without a special ID card.

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.
