Shawn Ritenour reviews Gary North’s article, “Millenialism and the Progressive Movement,” Journal of Libertarian Studies 12, No. 1 (1996): 121–142 [PDF]. Presented at the Mises Institute’s Brown Bag Seminar series on 14 October 1996.

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.
