“The market economy is the only system that permits each man to attain his goals in the way he thinks best.”
—Ludwig von Mises
In American politics today, there is one thing everyone seems to agree on: our government isn’t working.
Our politicians have never been dumber and more self-absorbed, the Left has never been more tyrannical, and the Right has never been less interested in the virtues of capitalism and free markets.
So where does the hope lie for America? Not in politics, but in entrepreneurship.
Despite the political chaos of the last decade, entrepreneurs have achieved significant victories against the state and are providing real solutions for the rest of us.
Politicians don’t build prosperity. Entrepreneurs do.
Join the Mises Institute at the Omni Oklahoma City Hotel on Saturday, February 21, to discuss how markets succeed where politics fails, and how entrepreneurship continues to overcome the barriers imposed by a corrupt and broken system.
