Political Freedom and its Roots in Metaphysics

Libertarianism -the political philosophy based on the concept of individual rights -seems to be an inherently clear, unambiguous position. Its fundamental principle, the principle that man’s rights to his life, liberty and property are non-compromisable foundations for human co-existence in society, seems to offer sufficient basis for answering, or solving, all so called “social problems” - as libertarian literature amply demonstrates.”’ There is, however, one threat to this seeming clarity: the debate between limited government libertarians, headed by Rand, and anarcho-capitalists, mainly influenced by Rothbard.

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.
