Daniel Oliver, Jr. contributes this splendid article in which he cites Ludwig von Mises’ argument that government economic intervention inevitably impedes the production of useful goods and services.
The meddlers and plunderers want people to think that government economic intervention is necessary and beneficial, but that is a hoax of enormous proportions. Coercion (governmental and otherwise) always wastes resources and obstructs productivity.
Most conservative sites (Oliver’s article is on National Review) tend to look askance at von Mises and his Austrian followers at being “too radical.” That’s why it’s especially good to see this article where it is. Maybe it’s dawning on conservatives that this is the time for truth, even if it is radical.
