Antitrust as Protectionism

Antitrust as Protectionism

Part of the problem with using U.S. antitrust laws to shake down domestic corporations is that the same strategy can be used by foreign countries to implement trade protectionism and increased taxation against those same companies—as is evidenced by the current European attack on Microsoft.

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.
