My Favorite Links

Ludwig von Mises Institute: The Mises Institute is a wealth of information about "Austrian" economics (i.e., laissez-faire capitalism) and politics. Check out the Daily Articles, the many journals published by the Institute, and even entire books that you can read online, including Ludwig von Mises's Human Action and Murray Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State.
LewRockwell.com: Published six times per week by the president of the Mises Institute, LRC contains a number of commentary pieces on "property, freedom, and peace" (with a pro-market, anti-state emphasis, of course!).
Cato Institute: Leading libertarian think tank based in Washington, D.C. that values "Individual Liberty, Limited Government, Free Markets and Peace."
Foundation for Economic Education: Irvington-on-Hudson, New York-based free-market economics organization that also publishes The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty.
Future of Freedom Foundation: Fairfax, Virginia-based libertarian organization whose mission is "to advance the libertarian philosophy by providing an uncompromising moral and economic case for individual liberty, free markets, private property, and limited government." It also has an aggressive op-ed article distribution program.
Libertarian Party: Official Web site of "The Party of Principle."
Institute for Justice: The nation's premier libertarian public interest law firm. This "merry band of libertarian litigators" represents those whose property rights, freedom of speech, freedom of educational choice, or other liberties have been violated by the government.
Castle Coalition: Organization dedicated to fighting eminent domain abuse.
Reason Foundation: Advocates of "free minds and free markets." The Los Angeles-based Reason Foundation houses the Reason Public Policy Institute and publishes Reason Magazine.
Laissez Faire Books (LFB.com): Great source for books on freedom, history, economics, libertarianism, objectivism, government, public policy, etc.
Congressman Ron Paul's Home Page: The Republican congressman from Texas, nicknamed "Dr. No" by his colleagues on Capitol Hill for his unwillingness to cave in and vote on legislation that violates individual liberty and the principles of the Constitution (he is an Ob/Gyn doctor in "real" life), is perhaps the only consistent defender of liberty, fiscal responsibility, and constitutional government in Congress. He also happens to be a very eloquent writer. Check out his Texas Straight Talk weekly column.
Independent Institute: Oakland, California-based think tank that takes a scholarly approach to promoting the virtues of a free society and exposing the vices of government interference. The Institute publishes The INDEPENDENT REVIEW, a quarterly journal.
Free-Market.Net: Maintained by the Individual Society for Individual Liberty, Free-Market.Net is billed as "the world's premier libertarian portal." It contains an incredibly comprehensive database of policy studies, articles, FAQs, links to free-market think tanks and other organizations, and even a job and scholarship bank for such organizations. The database is searchable by category, topic, state, or region.

Larry Elder's Home Page: Home page for the syndicated talk-radio show host, columnist, and author. Even though he has now registered as a Republican and refers to himself as a "Republitarian" (after trying to be both libertarian and a Republican myself for a while, I can tell you it just doesn't work!), the "Sage from South Central" is still the best libertarian voice on the airwaves.
Overlawyered.com: Great collection of ridiculous lawsuits and examples of what's wrong with our legal system.
Dumblaws.com: Didn't know that it's against Kansas game law to use mules to hunt ducks, that it is against the law to sell musical instruments on Sunday in South Carolina, or that a man can be fined $25 for flirting by turning around on a city street and "looking at a woman in that way"? See Dumb Laws for these and other real examples of what happens when legislators have too much time on their hands.
Libertarian.org: Maintained by the Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason University, this site provides an introduction to libertarianism.
The Center for Consumer Freedom: Dedicated to fighting for the personal freedom to do, purchase, and eat what we please and standing up to the "food police" (Got fat from eating at McDonald's every day for 10 years? It must be the Golden Arches' fault! File a lawsuit and try to get the government to impose stricter labeling regulations!).

Free State Project: Effort to achieve "liberty in our lifetime" by convincing enough liberty-loving people to move to New Hampshire to effectively take control of the state government and create conditions hospitable to a truly free society.
