The Cultural Cloak of the Coercive State

04/17/2007 Jörg Guido Hülsmann

Recorded at the Mises Circle in Houston, “Despots Left and Right: The Tyrannies of Our Times,” Saturday, 14 April 2007, sponsored by Jeremy S. Davis.

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.
