“The world seems to be moving at an accelerated rate in a more collectivist direction. The potential trade wars set in motion by Donald Trump’s sky-high tariffs are simply the most glaring sign of this dangerous trend. For more than a century, various forms of government intervention, redistribution, and planning have replaced the far more free-market, classical-liberal world that existed before the First World War.What free-market liberalism offers as an ideal and as a goal of public policy, Mises declared, is an equality of individual rights for all under the rule of law, with privileges and favors for none.” (08/19/25)
