Stossel’s Guide to Politics

I’m really enjoying John Stossel’s Guide to Politics. Here is part one, which advances a late Hayekian view of social order. Particularly impressive is part two, which takes a sound position on the bailout, even as it takes a rather superficial view on the cause. In general, it is a good link to shoot to someone who is confused. Part three is great too. Oh, just watch the whole thing.

In some ways, it is hard to know how to judge this material. As economics, it is analytically thin. Even so, it is better than the usual fare on mainline television, and it is pretty amazing that this appeared on ABC, though some affiliates refused to carry it. Thank you Liberty Student.

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.
