American public education succeeds in producing exactly what the state wants: confused, directionless graduates loaded with debt who look to the government for guidance and hope.
Economic understanding is the antidote to state power. Students and adults who understand economics see clearly the mismanagement, the out-of-control budgets, and know where the problem comes from.
Join the Mises Institute on Saturday, September 12, in Greenville, South Carolina, as we discuss the antidote to state power: economic understanding.
