Asking the Executioner How to Save Yourself

Mises Institute ·

2025/02/07

The economy is stagnating, regulation has restrained the market from creating the growth that thrusts society onward, yet the government is asking the regulators how to create growth. You’d be better asking the axeman how best to survive with no head!
