Statism: Expropriating Property Protector | Hoppe LibertyAus 2016-09-25 | Hans-Hermann Hoppe speaking at the Mises Seminar Australia. This is an excerpt from: "The Errors of Classical Liberalism" (Full lecture: youtu.be/f82mHHAt6yI). More see: http://mises.org.au/ (schedule, playlist, photos, reviews).“A tax-funded protection agency is a contradiction in terms - an expropriating property protector - and will inevitably lead to more taxes and less protection. Even if, as some - classical liberal - statists have proposed, a government limited its activities exclusively to the protection of pre-existing private property rights, the further question of how much security to produce would arise. Motivated (like everyone else) by self-interest and the disutility of labor, but endowed with the unique power to tax, a government agent’s answer will invariably be the same: To maximize expenditures on protection - and almost all of a nation’s wealth can conceivably be consumed by the cost of protection - and at the same time to minimize the production of protection.”— Hans-Hermann Hoppe

This year's special international guest speaker is the eclectic Jeffrey Tucker.The Mises Seminar is named in honour of Ludwig von Mises, perhaps the most gifted economist and philosopher of the 20th century. Mises was a prolific author who spawned a global movement dedicated to carrying on his tradition. One of his students, F.A. Hayek, went on to receive the Nobel Prize in Economics. Another of his students, Murray N. Rothbard, extended Mises' ideas and founded what is now the modern libertarian movement. A living proponent of Mises' ideas is Congressman Ron Paul who ran for the office of President of the United States, sparking an international and intellectual revolution.• For information regarding the event, programme, speakers, venue, and how to purchase tickets please visit the website at http://mises.org.au/ •

Let Banks Fail LibertyAus 2012-11-11 | State intervention—not the rigours of the free market—is the cause of financial mayhem. Chris Leithner speaking at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas on Letting Banks Fail, and in particular how Central Banks already have. Whereby state intervention is the cause of the financial mayhem on Wall Street that becomes economic crises on Main Street. The Global Financial Crisis shows that it is not 'capitalism' (Karl Marx's insult of choice) or 'extreme capitalism' that has failed but the 'mixed economy'. To stop these crises, we need to free the market and allow it to do its job. In a free society, no bank is so big or important that we shouldn't let it fail.
