No matter what reform proposal is adopted, the state will attempt to strike back against it to restore to itself the immense benefits it receives from the existing system.  A reform’s long-run success, then depends on making it as difficult as possible for the state to reassert its power.  No matter how successful establishing the mixed economy, as Hayek or Sennholz propose,or a halfway house, as Mises or the free bankers propose, may prove to be in the short run, neither such reforme is as likely to endure as Rothbard’s.

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.
