This Time, Summers Has Gone Too Far

This Time, Summers Has Gone Too Far
No wonder the President of Harvard is being canned for politically incorrect comments. Here is the latest story, as related by an ex-dean: “Summers suggested that some funds should be moved from a sociology program to the Kennedy School, home to many economists and political scientists. ‘President Summers asked me, didn’t I agree that, in general, economists are smarter than political scientists, and political scientists are smarter than sociologists?’”

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
