Response to Roberts

Response to Roberts

I have written a  critical response to Paul Craig Roberts on my blog that is likely of interest to mises.org readers: Roberts is correct in his complaints that his responders haven't understood his argument.  He is arguing that the movement of factors of production to the location of absolute advantage will reduce the volume of trade with their former location.  It's the reduction in trade that he's unhappy about.  (At least, that's how I read him, and that's what I responded to.)

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.
