The freedom to engage in entrepreneurship, and the benefits that entrepreneurs create for all of us, are the main theme of this group of previously published Freeman essays, which includes short pieces by Ludwig von Mises and Israel Kirzner among other well-known names. A number of contemporary authors have contributions here as well. The essays show how risk-taking and creativity are the key to economic progress and for providing life’s necessities at progressively lower prices and higher quality. Several essays rightly predict the ways that computerization might change the worlds of work and family.

The only “myth” is the one this organization is trying to peddle. Get the HELL out of America and move to Somalia – you would be more comfortable in the kind of country you are trying to mold America into.
You greed-centered Economic Royalists want to turn America into the EXACT society we fought a revolution against – one where the rich own and run everything and everyone else knows their “natural place.”
Keep paying your sock puppet dupes to spread your propaganda, and run your corporate-sponsored phoney “think tanks” and websites – but WE THE PEOPLE are catching on to your games and – like in Roosevelt’s time – the time for congratulating yourselves for being masters of the universe will soon come to an end.
