Murray Rothbard famously stated that “the state is a gang of thieves writ large.”
This is particularly true of the state of California, a vicious parasite infecting one of America’s most beautiful regions. Residents must constantly consider the tradeoffs between California the place, which offers excellent weather, majestic mountains, beautiful beaches, and unique history, and California the state, which is infamous for its incompetence and manufactures a constant torrent of disastrous policies, including extravagant tax rates, crippling regulation, insane cultural policy, and subsidized homelessness.
Just how bad is the state of California? How did it get this way? What can be done about it?
These are the questions the Mises Institute will be answering on April 25 in San Diego.
