Liberty and Economics



Uploaded by: misesmedia
Video Description:
What kind of man was Ludwig von Mises? As this unique film shows, Mises (1881-1973) was a man who never stopped fighting for freedom: not when the Nazis burned his books, not when the Left blackballed him at universities, not when it seemed as if statism had won. With courage and genius, he fought big government until the day he died ... in 25 books, hundreds of articles, and more than 60 years of teaching.
Mises's battles against Communists, Nazis, and other socialists, are featured in this film, as are his ideas of Liberty. There is also the old Vienna he loved, the Bolshevik prime minister he dissuaded from Communism, and a cast of villains from Lenin to Hitler, as well as such supporters and stud
ents as Murray Rothbard, Ron Paul, Bettina Greaves, M. Stanton Evans, Mary Peterson, Joseph Sobran, and Yuri Maltsev. Among his many accomplishments, Mises showed that socialism had to fail, that central banking causes recessions and depressions, that the gold standard is honest money, and that onl
y laissez-faire capitalism is fully compatible with Western civilization. Mises was the twentieth century's foremost economist, and one of its most important champions of Liberty. Here is a film that does justice to this extraordinary man, and to his equally extraordinary ideas.

listen."tax cuts" ... ( 1 month ago by t0nt01982)
listen."tax cuts" give people FREEDOM to use their money for their own "self interest" or "greed" is what liberals call it. deregs give business "freedom" to operate freely w/o gov coercion. "forcing govt" is nonsense. NOONE forces gov. Politicians allow this practice of mixing gov. and private sector. Politicians get paid under the table to "regulate". Fannie mae for ex. to answer ur ? YES, tax cuts and dereg means reducing size of gov., conservatism. spending? NO.
the fact? Who said ... ( 1 month ago by utubehayter)
the fact? Who said that is a fact? As soon as a business uses govt for its personal gain - it ceases to be a free market. Is that a argument against the free market? I don't think so. As for painful recessions - recessions are not painful - depressions are. But in any economy, recessions are inevitable. Depressions are inevitable in controlled economy ONLY. So choose what you want, the short term pain for the entrepreneur of recession OR perpetual pain for everyone of depression.

giving businesses too much power? Who gives businesses too much power? Think for a minute - its the government and the consumer. The consumer can withdraw their consent to power, so can govt, but the palms of members of govt can always be greased to allow continuation of hold of power by people who depend on political enterprise. By the way, do you have an example of any economic phenomenon like the great depression or the German hyper inflation, in a system absent govt regulation.

What a load of Bullshit. Iam a Citizen and nothing you say will reduce me to a consumer. This is real sophism. Misis is a lyer. Corporations determine everything we let them. We must control our own system. The free market is full of gangsters and sophists. Free market is the British System. The word "Freedom" as it is used here is hollow. This video is pure sophism.

Or are youa farmer/Movie producer/author/ oilman?
You are a citizen, and you are a consumer. get over it. Corperations do the best they can to rpovide you with what it is that YOU want. Have you ever even studied economics??
do you know ANYTHING about markets?

This Misus theory is what we have been experiencing since Bretton Woods system was scrapped. 1971 Nixon, George Shultz, and Kissinger created the floating exchange rate system, which was the end of the FDR conceptualized fixed exchange rate system. So I guess it come down to "American System" or "Free trade system". This video is pure sophism.

LaRouche says that the "American System" is not a monetary system, it is a credit system. We need to create credit for what we want and need, as a society. We need our bridges repaired, but did they create credit for bridge building contractors? This video leaves out the the alternative of the "American System", in history which is documented in the 1932 video.

the La Rouche Commenter is absolutely WRONG. I know many in the La Rouche group and you guys are all slightly off on your economic theory, because Lyndon himself is slightly off. A corporation is as simple as filling out 15 minutes of paperwork. i've started 3 of them. What we have been living under is NOTHING CLOSE to a free market, for at least 25 key institutions. Anyone who would even suggest that we are living under a Misesian system has zero credibility and zero education. Read up.

I'm a science/math type but I was once very clueless about economics. So I read Human Action ( well most of it ). I was amazed that I could KNOW economics ( through Misean epistemological methodology ). I also came to discovery that ignorance of economics usually leads to unsound or disatrous political thinking or doctrines. Mises is a very important fellow indeed.

Markets are defined ... ( 1 week ago by hymnofashes)
Markets are defined by regulation. (Patent regulations, delimited public goods, etc.) and economies are also subsets of the natural environment. Production decisions are generally consumer-driven, but often also by political forces or the preferences of those who either produce, seize, or happen to inherit (look at the Saudis) valuable capital. I have those reservations about 'free' markets.
The fundamental ... ( 1 week ago by hymnofashes)
The fundamental problem with laissez-faire economies is that there is a demand in the market for devices and individuals whose purpose is to subvert the market itself by monopolizing information, creating barriers to entry, destroying equality of opportunity, or most commonly creating value for private shareholders by cannibalizing goods in the public sphere. I agree about the gold standard, though.
An exclusive ... ( 1 week ago by norcofreerider604)
An exclusive monopoly is the invention of government, not the market. Since the market is driven by competition, abusive "monopolies" will fail quickly as better goods/services beat it out.
