Christine O’Donnell’s Economic Views

Christine O’Donnell’s Economic Views

From the press coverage after the election, I would never have known the Christine O’Donnell seems to generally sensible on economic issues. In this interview from July, she explains the need to reduce regulations and lower taxes. She also understands why: business needs to accumulate private capital in order to hire and expand. From the interview, you would think that she is libertarian on economic issues, which is to say that she is sensible. There is nothing about foreign policy and social issues here, which is not to say of course that she is wholly wrong on these issues or other economic subjects not discussed. The point is that if this was the core of her campaign, one can see the appeal. h/t Samizdata

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.
