  • "Private option" for government?

    I know Ron Paul has mentioned support of this sort of proposal before, but I wasn't really able to find much else on this idea. Has there been any thought given to promotion of a "Private option" for government? That is, people voluntarily giving up their "protections" like police...

  • All Mises U content now available through Bit Torrent

    I thought this would be a good way of spreading our message freely, further, and faster. I arranged all information within the torrent exactly as it was downloaded from the beautifully-arranged Mises U that you have implemented on iTunes. I thought this additional format of delivery would be handy for...

  • What is the libertarian position on Agrarian Reform?

    Agrarian Reform is the forced redistribution of land from the landowners to the peasants. It is a popular economic policy in many third world countries in Asia and I think in Latin America. The problem: Western Colonial rule of Third world countries violently expropriated land(thousands of hectares)...

  • Are you pro-death or anti-choice?

    I frequently encounter the assumption that libertarians, being broadly opposed to government involvment in most everything, must support abortion "rights." Just as frequently, I am appalled by it. The "right" to terminate a fetus implies that the fetus is the property of the mother...

  • Britain under Margaret Thatcher

    How libertarian was Great Britain under Margaret Thatcher? I realize mises.org or LRC do not have any documentation on it unlike Rothbard's article that exploded the belief of Reagan being small government. I think a documentary in youtube "Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain" mentioned...

  • Re: If Rothbard was still here would he hang out in these forms?

    The libertarian movement has really been so blessed with an angel like Rothbard as its intellectual leader.

  • Economies / Societies as "Complex," "Emergent" Phenomena

    Hello, Though a regular Mises.org and LewRockwell.com reader, this is my first post here. I appreciate your patience in humoring me a bit. I posed this question to Walter Block and, not knowing the answer, he suggested I pose it here. Having begun personally studying Austrian Economics a few years ago...

  • Conservative??? Most are really not, are you?...

    If you think being a conservative is to be pro war, interventionists, or to be big government, you are wrong. This is mostly towards Americans. Conservatives have been looked down upon these last view years. But in reality, most people dont know what a conservative is in America. Lets try to clear some...

  • How did you become a libertarian?

    Hey all, This question was recently raised on the Mises Institute's Facebook page and I found the responses incredibly inspiring. Most surprising to me was that most people there came from a traditionally socialist philosophy. This is encouraging. I'd love to hear how members of this forum came...

  • Discovering the Right of Self Ownership

    The battle for the natural right of self ownership is expanding. Republicans seem to be leaning towards more libertarian principles, and Democrats are, well, where the Republicans were in 2006 – stuck. This should seem to surprise many people, seeing how Republicans acted during the Bush administration...
