  Regulatory Sneak Attack - Mises Institute   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Politicians, not bureaucrats, are primarily responsible for the regulatory state that we all suffer under.
Politicians are not merely passive bystanders who go on "listening tours" of their constituencies and then faithfully enact the kinds of laws that the public wants.
Politicians also play a role that is essentially no different from the role played by organized crime in demanding protection money from businesses in return for "protection" from being robbed or beaten by the thugs.

 Why Austrian Economics Matters
Austrians view entrepreneurship as a critical force in economic development, private property as essential to an efficient use of resources, and government intervention in the market process as always and everywhere destructive.
Austrians reject the use of redistribution to stimulate the economy or otherwise manipulate the structure of economic activity.
Austrians are the rising stars in the profession, the economists with the new ideas that attract students, the ones on the cutting edge with a pro-market and anti-statist orientation.

 Friedrich List and the American System of Economy
The fact that List was persecuted in the kingdom of Württemberg, in a case of blatant judicial abuse, was due chiefly to the direct and personal initiative of the Austrian Chancellor, Prince Metternich (1773-1859).
List's release from prison in January 1825 was, de facto, linked to the annulment of his German citizenship: he was only released on condition that he accept exile in the United States.
List emphasizes, time and again, that there is a profound contradiction between Smith's postulates, such as his representation of how the allegedly exemplary and superior British economic system functions, and the reality of the British economy.

 History of the unification of Austria and Germany on March 12, 1938 (der Anschluss)
It was another Austrian, Theodor Herzl, a Jewish journalist in Vienna, who first started the Zionist movement in 1896 when he wrote a book called "The Jewish State," which advocated the unification of all the Jews into their own country.
Austrians were singing the anthem of the Pan-Germans while the Jews were singing their anthem called "Hope" which is now the national anthem of Israel.
With only the Austrians as allies, the Germans claimed that they were fighting for their right to exist as a world power and their right to expand, while the British, French and Russians, and eventually Americans, saw it as the militaristic Prussians trying to take over the world.

 Katherine Arens, Center for Austrian Studies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Interestingly, Negt uses the nascent Austrian Republic as an example of a repressed situation in which a public sphere had not emerged through the nineteenth century: "The individual parts of the country were not even in a network of cooperation and exchange" (226).
This list, however, is composed principally of abstracts, the elements of ideology.
Luft confirms the historical ambivalence of many Austrians to a pure form of German nationalism: "The decisive feature of this period of Austrian culture was Austria's political and ideological idolation from the area north of the Main between 1775 and 1815.

 Central Europe Review - On the Inside Looking out: Austria's New OVP-FPV Government, Jorg Haider and Europe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Austrian journalists, who have been sparring with Haider in the media ring for the past ten years, have taken considerably more punches than they have landed.
The "old" Austrian political spectrum - with Austria being understood as the territories that became the Republic of Austria in 1918 - was based on the existence of three "camps" (Lager) dating back to the late 19th century: Christian social (or Christian democratic), social democratic, and liberal-national.
The rise of populist movements on the right is not a peculiarly Austrian development but a pan-European phenomenon related to the end of the Cold War, to the fragmentation of the European political spectrum, and in all probability to the processes of European integration itself.

 Mises Economics Blog: An Austrian Theory of Environmental Economics
Austrians offer an alternative approach to the environmental that does not depend on having to define or measure what is conceptually indefinable or unmeasurable.
The challenge for Austrians is to explain how we apply the theory in certain tough cases, not to explain, in reality, how it can be applied at all.
The Austrian opposition to it is not a product of Zoning as a working system; it is a product of the fact that politicians and Bureaucrats often cut their greedy teeth on zoning manipulation for the benefit of their friends and financial backers.

 OBSERVATIONS ON POLITICIANS
A politician is anyone who asks individuals to surrender part of their liberty -- their power and privilege -- to State, Masses, Mankind, Planet Earth, or whatever.
"Politicians are politicians all of the time -- whether they're helping themselves to an extra-serving of farm-subsidy bacon, writing new laws about when their opponents can and can't run ads about them or appointing bureaucrats to enforce those laws.
While politicians and their allies are fond of decrying the fact that at any given time, millions of Americans lack health insurance, they forget that they themselves have played a major role in creating the conditions that have made going without health insurance a recipe for individual financial calamity." -- William L. Anderson

 CER | Austrian Film: Michael Haneke's Code inconnu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Austrian film was having something of a quiet life, bumbling along and not being watched by too many people, when suddenly in 1997 Michael Haneke's film Funny Games convinced people that watchable Austrian cinema was not perhaps an oxymoron after all.
And suddenly not only was a new star of European cinema born but a whole country's film industry was given a new wave of optimism.
Instead of just merely tackling the problems of Austrian society, here he takes on a wider theme to match the new scale of his audience—immigration in a multicultural Europe—and shifts the action away from his favoured middle-class Austrian settings to a famously cosmopolitan environment: Paris.
