Bring Back DDT

Bring Back DDT
The New York Times has finally figured out what most of us have known for a long time: that the ban on DDT pushed on third world countries by wealthy, healthy Westerners, has caused millions of deaths from malaria. And now that they've grasped the basic concept involved, I suppose we can count on the Times to call for the abolition of the EPA and the FDA... right? (Thanks to Paul Clark for the link.)

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.
