Mussolini and the Mortgage Bailout by Jacob G. Hornberger President Bush’s “agreement” with the mortgage industry to freeze interest rates is a reminder of the point that Ludwig von Mises made about interventionism. It is also a reminder of Benito Mussolini’s government-business partnerships that inspired much of the regulatory aspects of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal.

The best we can hope for, they say, is to “reform the system” and, therefore, make the tyranny more palatable. There is a good one-word response to all that: Nonsense! No direction is inevitable, and especially not a bad one.
