Motley Fool on Rothbard

Motley Fool on Rothbard
From a recent Motley Fool "Post of the Day": "Warren Buffett once scoffed at the idea of efficient markets by saying that if they were efficient, he'd be a bum with a tin cup, or words to that effect. "In his great treatise _Man, Economy, and State_, Murray N. Rothbard pointed out that entrepreneurs make profits not by being correct in their entrepreneurial undertakings in an absolute sense (remember, there's no such thing as perfect information and even the best investors err), but by being more nearly correct than their less well-informed competitors. "Buffett has spent at least half a century proving Rothbard's point."

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.
