AI threat

The Threats of AI Come from the State

Artificial Intelligence is advancing, but people often fear it for the wrong reasons. AI is not a threat in itself, but rather becomes a threat when the state uses it as one more tool to limit individual liberty and to engage in oppressive behavior.

America’s War on Arab Christians

The recent attack by Israeli setters on the village of Taybeh in the West Bank has brought attention to the conflicts between Israel and the Christian population in Palestine. American Christians who uncritically support Israel should take a harder look at what is happening.

From Bad to Worse, Irish Rent Control

Apparently, Ireland‘s government has not learned any lessons from rent control disasters elsewhere. Thus, the Irish will have to learn this hard lesson and face the consequences of their economic folly.

How Does Money Acquire its Value?

Thanks to modern Keynesian economics, most people believe money gains its value from the government that issues it. Money’s value, however, is historically tied to the value of the commodity from which money was derived.

The Misesian

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.
