Against Leviathan would be an excellent companion reader for any economics class that deals with policy, and especially a class on regulation and the relationship between government and business. Indeed, any student or faculty member who has an interest in economics would benefit from reading this book that artfully and skillfully explodes the various myths of why government really is good for us.

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.
