Secession Blues

Secession Blues

In the wake of last Tuesday’s election results, there’s been some talk on the left about the possibility of the blue states seceding from the red states. Most of this talk has been tongue in cheek, but divisions in the country are deep enough right now that the idea of secession has a better chance of making headway now than it has had for a long time. Although Austro-libertarians are no great fans of either red-state values or blue-state values, I think we could benefit by pushing this idea; see my comments here: http://praxeology.net/unblog11-04.htm#07 http://praxeology.net/unblog11-04.htm#08

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.
