The German youth movement was an impotent and abortive revolt of youth against the menace of bureaucratization. However, it was doomed because it did not attack the seed of the evil: the trend toward socialization.

From Chapter VI: “The Psychological Consequences of Bureaucratization”. Narrated by Millian Quintero.

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.
