So yes, elections can have important impacts on the economy, but the most important ones are preceded by some kind of revolution in the world of ideas, for good or bad.

The mission of the Mises Institute has always been to provide as clear and concise an argument as possible, based on the Misesian/Rothbardian tradition, that economic freedom always trumps the economic slavery of interventionism and socialism.

It is crucial that these ideas continue to be spread far and wide if we are ever to make a u-turn on the road to serfdom.
