The New York Times, whistling past the financial graveyard, paused over the weekend to smear the Mises Institute,
Ron Paul, our other scholars, hardcore libertarianism, and me. Why?
Because our ideas and our youth movement are gaining real traction. It
is in effect a compliment. They have never faced opposition like ours
before, and Ron Paul’s tremendous resonance with young people has only
made things worse from the Times’s point of view.
The Times wants opponents who play the game, who accept the
presuppositions of the regime, and who are willing to confine themselves
to the narrow range of debate to which the Times would prefer to confine the American people.
The purpose of articles like the one over the weekend, it should be
unnecessary to point out, is not to shed light. It is to demonize and
destroy a school of thought that the regime considers threatening.
