Big Company Helps Small Companies

Big Company Helps Small Companies

In some of my circles I hear a lot about the wickedness of business concentration and the terrible fate of the small businessman or shop owner in a free economy. Here's an interesting argument to the contrary in the world of publishing. It turns out that Amazon.com, a veritable behemoth, is the best thing that ever happened to small publishers! We all knew this, of course, but it's nice to see the case laid out. Read the story here.

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.
