Mises Wire

Obama, Autos, and Antitrust

I find it ironic that the Obama administration says that it is going to ramp up antitrust prosecutions of beleaguered American businesses. After all, it seems to me that Barack Obama is the de facto chairman of both Chrysler and General Motors simultanously, which surely would be a violation of antitrust law.

Gee, is Obama declaring himself to be above the law? Surely not!

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.
