Liberty and Economics


What kind of man was Ludwig von Mises? As this unique film shows, Mises (1881-1973) was a man who never stopped fighting for freedom: not when the Nazis burned his books, not when the Left blackballed him at universities, not when it seemed as if statism had won. With courage and genius, he fought big government until the day he died ... in 25 books, hundreds of articles, and more than 60 years of teaching. Mises's battles against Communists, Nazis, and other socialists, are featured in this film, as are his ideas of Liberty. There is also the old Vienna he loved, the Bolshevik prime minister he dissuaded from Communism, and a cast of villains from Lenin to Hitler, as well as such supporters and students as Murray Rothbard, Ron Paul, Bettina Greaves, M. Stanton Evans, Mary Peterson, Joseph Sobran, and Yuri Maltsev. Among his many accomplishments, Mises showed that socialism had to fail, that central banking causes recessions and depressions, that the gold standard is honest money, and that only laissez-faire capitalism is fully compatible with Western civilization. Mises was the twentieth century's foremost economist, and one of its most important champions of Liberty. Here is a film that does justice to this extraordinary man, and to his equally extraordinary ideas.

Rare Recording of Ludwig von Mises: Wage Earners and Employers


Mises.org This is from a radio broadcast made during intermission of the US Steel Concert Hour, May 17, 1962; the transcript (reprinted below) was first published in The Freeman, May 1988. Mises had been asked to respond to the question "Are the interests of the American wage earners in conflict with those of their employers, or are the two in agreement?" Transcript from mises.org To answer that question we must first look at a little history. In the pre-capitalistic ages a nation's social order and economic system were based upon the military superiority of an elite. The victorious conqueror appropriated to himself all the country's utilizable land, retained a part for himself and distributed the rest among his retinue. Some got more, others less, and the great majority nothing. In the England of the early Plantagenets [the line of British kings, descended from French Normans, who reigned from 1154 to 1399], a Saxon was right when he thought: "I am poor because there are Normans to whom more was given than is needed for the support of their families." In those days the affluence of the rich was the cause of the poverty of the poor. Conditions in the capitalist society are different. In the market economy the only way left to the more gifted individuals to take advantage of their superior abilities is to serve the masses of their fellowman. Profits go to those who succeed in filling the most urgent of the not-yet-satisfied wants of the consumers in the best possible and <b>...</b>

Ludwig Heinrich Edler von Mises September 29, 1881 -- October 10, 1973) was an Austrian economist, historian, philosopher, author, and classical liberal who had a significant influence on the modern free-market libertarian movement and the Austrian School. The Revolution: A Manifesto is a New York Times #1 best seller by Republican US Congressman Ron Paul. According to Paul, the book is based on written notes during his 2008 presidential campaign. The contents include a brief preface, seven chapters, and a bibliographic appendix. The preface emphasizes that the book was written to contrast Paul's ideas against "the deadening consensus that crosses party lines, that dominates our major media". Chapter 1 carries this theme by describing recent American elections as false dilemmas and presenting the message of freedom and individual rights as rallying a new widespread revolution, yet one grounded in the tradition of Robert Taft Republicanism. Paul describes the book as "an opportunity to highlight and explain [my views] in the kind of systematic fashion that campaign speeches and presidential debates simply do not allow", "a long-term manifesto based on ideas, and perhaps some short-term marching orders", and "what the agenda of George W. Bush's successor should be <b>...</b>

Read Mises: Financial Crises are Predictable - and Preventable


Sign the Ron Paul 2012 Petition at www.RonPaul2012.netPlease like, share, subscribe & comment! http 02/21/2011 by Ron Paul Last week, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission presented it's results to the Financial Services Committee. As with most other politically appointed commissions, the results of the commission's investigations were easy to predict. Established by the same Congress that gave us national healthcare and with a majority of its members appointed by those who seek to solve every problem with more government intervention, it was no surprise that the commission's findings would favor increased government intervention in the economy. Minority members were not substantively involved in the commission's operations, and the commission attempted to exclude their dissenting views by granting them very limited space to do so. However, even the minority members of the commission failed to consider the most important cause of the financial crisis; namely the Federal Reserve's loose monetary policy. Almost a century ago, in 1912, Ludwig von Mises published his great work: The Theory of Money and Credit. This was the first systematic description of the Austrian business cycle theory, which describes the relationship of the business cycle to monetary policy. This theory explains why so many businessmen man make so many of same errors at the same time, yet not a single member of the commission undertook an analysis of the financial crisis from an Austrian economic <b>...</b>

Summary of Marc Faber's speech at Mises Circle


An hour of Marc Faber's insights, one of his best speeches: www.youtube.com Marc Faber says 3-5% of his typical audience owns physical gold. And most of them not a meaningful position. Some quotes: "Zero interest rates create new bubbles" "Central banks can't control where the money will drop into when they give it out via low interest rates" "Low interest rates caused speculation in commodities, like oil" "Greenspan could see housing bubbles in Spain and Shanghi but not the US" "Lifetime achievement of Greenspan and Bernanke - creating a bubble in everything!" "2000-2007 all asset classes went up, dollar went down. 2008 reverse happened" "Dollar strength function of decreased global liquidity, increased global liquidity made dollar weaker"

Mises predicted collapse of Austria's central bank. Is it now the Fed's turn?


Prof. James Shenton describes the collapse of the Kredit Anstalt, Austria's central bank, in the 1930s, and says the outcome was worse than anything anyone had imagined. Like Austria, America has an unsustainably high number of government employees and is borrowing money at an unsustainable level. How long will it be until the dollar becomes worthless?
