What Austrians and many other libertarians often overlook is that even the most insightful and elaborate defense of free markets is worthless without a foundation in the philosophy of ethics. People need moral principles to live well, to make choices appropriate to their own prospects for flourishing. Austrian economics defends free markets, for a fundamental (often unacknowledged) reason: to demonstrate the social conditions necessary to the achievement of material abundance. Material abundance is necessary ( but not sufficient) for individual success and happiness.

Thus, as Murray Rothbard pointed out, economics is a branch of the philosophy of ethics. Ethics presumes the human capacity of free will and freedom of choice. The challenge to human living is thinking well to make proper choices. Economics informs us of the right choices in one very important realm of our experience.

Making the right choices in any area of life first requires individual moral autonomy.

Or cure an alcoholic’s problem with more alcohol, or a herion junky with more smack.

It is so nonsensical in every other case why does it fly, or allowed to fly, in this one case? The hold the government has over people’s minds, and their ability to think logically, is scary.

If an alcoholic continues to drink he will likely die, as will the herion addict who will eventually overdose. And so it will be here. It will just be a more horrific crash to reality when it comes.

Still, it amazes me that we have these boobs get up on television and proclaim that more of the same of what got is here is a “cure” and they say it with a straight face. They are either liars or dimwits, neither of which is becoming.

Does Mises.org have mirror servers in what will likely be the Square States of America fairly soon?

“what do we call the goal we wish to reach”

CYBERTARIANISM.

Libertarianism through artificial intelligent means.

Free market capitalism needs a defender. Needs someone to constantly speek in the name of free market capitalism and defend it against government or social agression.

Therefore I believe that libertarianism will only be possible through cybertarianism.

“The catch is that more government intrusion in the economy will almost surely limit growth (as it has in Europe, where a big welfare state has caused chronic high unemployment).”

Yet, big government should be accepted. What bothers me is that this article (conveniently?) overlooks the fact that the US economy has been a mixed economy for a long period of time and government has increased a few years after 1789.

“The Obama administration is caught in a paradox. It must borrow and spend to fix a crisis created by too much borrowing and spending. Having pumped the economy up with a stimulus, the president will have to cut the growth of entitlement spending by holding down health care and retirement costs and still invest in ways that will produce long-term growth. Obama talks of the need for smart government. To get the balance between America and France right, the new president will need all the smarts he can summon.”

Okay, that’s sarcasm, right ??
