Get a Raise, Wreck the Economy

Get a Raise, Wreck the Economy

From the daily email from the Wall Street Journal:

Last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said in a speech that he remained worried about inflation, that risks to prices were tilted mainly toward the upside, and tight labor markets especially have the potential to drive prices higher even as the economy gets roughed up by the deteriorating home market and a tough patch for the auto industry. It was thus a relief to the markets to hear that labor inflation is being stuffed back into a cage, and stock futures bounded higher this morning on the news.

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.
