When analyzing election results, the Libertarian Party and other elements of the movement focus usually on the LP's current political star in order to prove that the libertarian cause is advancing.Examples of this policy can be seen in the euphoria surrounding Hospers' electoral vote in 1972; MacBride's showing and the LP's "Third Largest Party" status in 1976; and Ed Clark's 377,960 votes for California Governor in 1978.

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.
