Power of freedom by one of our Patrons, Mart Laar
Europe has steadily moved towards freedom and liberties during the last centuries. This has not of course been an easy road – it has been full of conflicts and wars, disaster and challenges. Sometimes people have had to go through totalitarian regimes to understand how valuable freedom is. After WWII when ideas of state planning and control developed in European totalitarian states, the ideas of Hayek, Mises and Erhard rose. The people of the former totalitarian countries knew how valuable freedom was and that at the end only this works. These ideas changed Europe and made Europe what it is today. Now Europe is facing challenges again. While Western Europe, or parts of it, look stagnated sometimes, the former communist countries are representing more liberties and more freedom. They have lived in totalitarianism and know how bad that is. This is why they know how valuable freedom is and through this they can give new energy to all Europe. So let us make all Europe strong again through the LVMI-Europe!-

Read Steve H.Hanke's article Europe's Bank Money Blues. In his article, Hanke profoundly argues that the ECB's balance sheet stress-tests are in fact keeping vital private credit out from the stagnating markets. Such strategy is a direct result from the "factoids" of Keynesian thought and the myopic views of the regulators. From below link, you are directed to the article.
