Libertarian Cavemen in the Big Apple

Libertarian Cavemen in the Big Apple

The NY Times reports on urban cavemen or paleos, including Black Swan author Nassim Taleb. They eat meat, fast for up to 36 hours at a stretch, walk, work out vigorously, give blood frequently and "several identify themselves as libertarians."

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.
