Mises Wire

Who pays for the transition? You.

When taxes are raised in order to fund Social Security “privatization” (yes those are scare quotes), as David Brooks suggests will in fact happen, who should get the blame for having laid the groundwork? (thanks LRCblog)

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.
