Stalking as a Form of Aggression

Stalking as a Form of Aggression

As the recent stalking of the heroic Shawn Johnson illustrates, stalking is a form of aggression, and ought to be punishable as a crime (privately, of course--but still). For more on this: Stalking and Threats as Aggression; Causation and Aggression; see also The Limits of Armchair Theorizing: The case of Threat; The Problem with "Fraud": Fraud, Threat, and Contract Breach as Types of Aggression.

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.
