About This Blog

Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) was the greatest economist of my time. His greatest works can be accessed here at no charge.

Mises believed that property, freedom and peace are and should be the hallmarks of a satisfying and prosperous society. I agree. Mises proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the prospect for general and individual prosperity is maximized, indeed, is only possible, if the principle of private property reigns supreme. What's yours is yours. What's mine is mine. When the line between yours and mine is smudged, the door to conflict opens. Without freedom (individual liberty of action) the principle of private property is neutered and the free market, which is the child of property and freedom and the mother of prosperity and satisfaction, cannot exist. Peace is the goal of a prosperous and satisfying society of free individuals, not peace which is purchased by submission to the enemies of property and freedom, but peace which results from the unyielding defense of these principles against all who challenge them.

In this blog I measure American society against the metrics of property, freedom and peace.

There's Something Rotten In De...ese United States!

The following headlines (all from today's posts at Weasel Zippers) make me want to scream!

Ladies and gentlemen, what are they doing to our country? We must take it back in 2012!

Dem Rep. Mike Honda: We “Didn’t Know What The Hell Was Going On” When We Passed Obama’s Stimulus Bill…

Hoyer Urges Colleagues To Support $1 Trillion Spending Bill That “None of Them Have Read”…

Unreal: Congressmen Told They Can’t Say “Merry Christmas” In Mail To Constituents…

Obama Claims His “Vision Is Truest To Our History”…

Obama Regime Moves to Ban Farm Kids From Working on Family Farms…

The headline about the Obama administration's attempt to ban children from working on family farms is especially loathsome. I spent many happy summers working on a relative's family farm when I was young. There is nothing more American and little in this life more rewarding than growing up on a family farm!

There was at least one piece of good news at Weasel Zippers today:

AP Poll: Majority of Americans Want Obama Voted Out of Office…
