More on Net Neutrality

More on Net Neutrality
My article on government and the internet provoked a firestorm of controversy on "net neutrality," which many libertarian commentators seem to favor. Those new to the debate may wish to consult this short article in The Economist's Voice by Robert Hahn and Scott Wallsten, which provides a useful overview. Hahn and Wallsten argue that net neutrality, while lacking a precise definition, is ultimately "a friendly-sounding name for price regulation."

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.
