So now it’s the weather!

So now it’s the weather!

In my living memory, every socialist failure has been blamed on the weather. And so it is with the pathetic job growth figures in the U.S., which the New York Times attributes to “snowstorms.” Never mind the minimum wage, the payroll tax, the regulations, the mandated benefits, the dozens of agencies that add artificial costs and risks to the hiring process, the unions, and the vast governmental machinery that inhibits start ups. It’s really all the fault of mother nature.

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.
