A Call for More Exploitation

Art Carden says that New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof presented an ambiguous message with his slide show of Cambodia. But the  accompanying article, which is anything but ambigious. In the piece, entitled "Inviting All Democrats," the author blasts liberals like Dean and Gephardt for failing to recognize that a global minimum wage would be devastating to Third World inhabitants. In favor of free trade, Kristof concludes: "For the fundamental problem in the poor countries of Africa and Asia is not that sweatshops exploit too many workers; it's that they don't exploit enough."

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.
