Israel har underskrevet frihandelsaftaler med EU, USA, Den Europæiske Frihandels Association, Tyrkiet, Mexico, Canada, Jordan samt Ægypten. I 2007 blev Israel yderligere det første ikke-latinamerikanske land, som underskrev en frihandelsaftale med Mercosur. De største industrielle sektorer i Israel inkluderer metalprodukter, elektronisk og biomedicinsk udstyr, forarbejdede fødevarer, kemiprodukter og transportudstyr. Diamantindustrien i Israel er verdens førende, når det gælder diamantskæring, forarbejdning og polering. Turismen må ikke glemmes! En rejse til Israel er en uforglemmelig oplevelse. Hvad enten du er historisk interesseret, søger aktiv ferie med sejlads, med surfing, med dykning, med fiskeri, med vandreture - eller bare ønsker at slappe af på en badeferie, så har Israel alle mulighederne. God fornøjelse.

...The other basic defect of these parties is that the demands they raise for each particular group are limitless. There is, in their eyes, only one limit to the quantity to be demanded: the resistance put up by the other side. This is entirely in keeping with their character as parties striving for privileges on behalf of special interests. Yet parties that follow no definite program, but come into conflict in the pursuit of unlimited desires for privileges on behalf of some and for legal disabilities for others, must bring about the destruction of every political system. People have been coming to recognize this ever more clearly and have begun to speak of a crisis of the modern state and of a crisis of the parliamentary system. In reality, what is involved is a crisis of the ideologies of the modern parties of special interests. Ludwig von Mises

Det er altid glædeligt, når man som skribent bliver læst og forstået. Her er hvad Jesper Skovgaard skriver i sit speciale "EN MODENHEDSMODEL FOR VIDENSTYRING" udarbejdet ved IT-Universitet i København 2009:

"Grundlæggende er incitamentsstrukturen [...] anderledes i den offentlige sektor [end i den private], da man ikke i samme grad som i den private sektor er underlagt markedsmekanismerne. I den offentlige sektor eksisterer begrebet entreprenøren ikke, altså det menneske der med egne eller frivillige investorers midler investerer, udvikler og organiserer ud fra en forventning om at blive belønnet af interesserede forbrugere. Den offentlige sektors opbygning er mere formel og ufleksibel hvilket betyder, at organisationsformen har langt mere vanskeligt ved løbende at imødekomme forbrugernes behov, i takt med at de ændrer sig. Dette skyldes blandt andet, at man ikke får tilbagemeldinger om brugertilfredshed i form af salg og markedsandele, så man kan vurdere om det der leveres, har værdi for kunden eller ej."

Han henviser som kilde til COIN-artiklen fra 2007 Den offentlige og den private sektor af undertegnede, som naturligvis blot har forsøgt at formidle Ludwig von Mises indsigter jævnfør HUMAN ACTION - Part Six - The Hampered Market Economy (pdf).

Liberalism is no religion, no world view, no party of special interests. It is no religion because it demands neither faith nor devotion, because there is nothing mystical about it, and because it has no dogmas. It is no world view because it does not try to explain the cosmos and because it says nothing and does not seek to say anything about the meaning and purpose of human existence. It is no party of special interests because it does not provide or seek to provide any special advantage whatsoever to any individual or any group. It is something entirely different. It is an ideology, a doctrine of the mutual relationship among the members of society and, at the same time, the application of this doctrine to the conduct of men in actual society. It promises nothing that exceeds what can be accomplished in society and through society. It seeks to give men only one thing, the peaceful, undisturbed development of material well-being for all, in order thereby to shield them from the external causes of pain and suffering as far as it lies within the power of social institutions to do so at all. To diminish suffering, to increase happiness: that is its aim.

No sect and no political party has believed that it could afford to forgo advancing its cause by appealing to men's senses. Rhetorical bombast, music and song resound, banners wave, flowers and colors serve as symbols, and the leaders seek to attach their followers to their own person. Liberalism has nothing to do with all this. It has no party flower and no party color, no party song and no party idols, no symbols and no slogans. It has the substance and the arguments. These must lead it to victory. Ludwig von Mises

Fri Debat er et tværpolitisk netværk, hvis formål er at styrke bevidstheden om og forsvaret af ytringsfriheden i den offentlige debat. Netværket består af folk på tværs af det politiske spektre. Vores eneste fællesnævner er en uforbeholden støtte for den universelle ytringsfrihed for Loke såvel som for Thor. Foruden at være en stemme i den offentlige debat er det netværkets ambition at arrangere konferencer og gå-hjem-møder, der tager forskellige aspekter af ytringsfriheden under behandling.

Fri Debat blev grundlagt i januar 2010 af Jacob Mchangama, Frederik Stjernfelt, Jens-Martin Eriksen, Troels Heeger og Søren K. Villemoes. Det opstod i frustration over, at de to på daværende tidspunkt primære selskaber, der forsvarede ytringsfriheden i Danmark, Dansk PEN og Trykkefrihedsselskabet, havde problemer med at vise en klar afstandtagen fra indgreb i ytringsfriheden, der ramte politiske modstandere. Fri Debat skal dog ikke ses som en modsætning til disse to organisationer eller som en konkurrent. Vi værdsætter både Dansk PENs og Trykkefrihedsselskabets bidrag til kampen for ytringsfrihed. Vi udfylder derimod et vakuum i debatten, som er opstået de senere år.

LATEST from Center for Freedom and Prosperity on Youtube: Labor Department numbers show that the Obama Administrations $787 billion stimulus was a flop. Instead of holding the unemployment rate at 8 percent or below, the jobless rate soared to 10 percent. Now there is discussion of second so-called stimulus, which politicians are calling a jobs bill. But making government bigger, this CF&P Foundation video explains, is a recipe for long-run stagnation and lower living standards, regardless of what the policy is named.

Greece is already being bailed out by the rest of the union. The European Central Bank (ECB ) accepts Greek government bonds as collateral for their lending operations.[...] European banks may buy Greek government bonds (now paying a premium in comparison to German bonds of more than 3% ) and use these bonds to get a loan from the ECB at 1% interest — a highly profitable deal.

Prices start to rise in Greece, and the money flows to other countries, bidding up prices throughout the eurozone. Abroad, people see their buying costs rising faster than their incomes. This is a redistribution in favor of Greece. The Greek government is being bailed out by a constant transfer of purchasing power from the rest of Europe.

Socialister er en langt større og langt mere overhængende fare end islamister i dagens Danmark. Vi er der allerede, efter min mening. Det er helt utilbørligt hvad allerede sker i demokratiets navn, og ret skræmmende, hvad der fra tid til anden foreslåes i vort land uden fjerneste blusel.

Problemet her er, at vi ikke i vores grundlov sikrer basale frihedsrettigheder for individet – de såkaldte negative rettigheder, der blandt andet findes i den amerikanske forfatning – om end de også trædes under fode i USA...

[...] Kim Møller er en enmandshær, en mand med en mission. Hans snart 7 år med Uriasposten er herhjemme det bedste eksempel på, at blogs kan opdyrke markeder og få grupper i tale, der af forskellige grunde føler sig udelukket fra medierne, og dermed sætte en alternativ dagsorden udenfor de traditionelle partier og mediestrukturer.

Uriasposten har på godt og ondt været med til at sætte fingeren på et ømt punkt: Fortielserne omkring problemerne ved integrationen af muslimer. Islam – og den venstrefløj der efter hans mening er religionens nyttige idioter - er omdrejningspunktet for Møllers blog, der er hård kost for uindviede, men som faktisk er et besøg værd.http://hvidberg.blogs.berlingske.dk/2010/02/07/vold-imod-ytringsfriheden/

Form does not follow function. The blue beings have tails, though they stand upright, and other creatures have exotic, colorful characteristics that appear to have no reason to exist. Much of the action suddenly happens in slow motion, without warning and for no apparent reason, as if the director is trying to say something, yet slower scenes are less effective than faster scenes. In either case, the eyes sort of collapse from the fatigue of watching vacant characters talk in a strange language (with subtitles) best described as the ramblings of an environmentalist college professor delivered by a befuddled fairy godmother.

Movie Review: Avatar by Scott Holleran

For the liberal, there is no opposition between domestic policy and foreign policy, and the question so often raised and exhaustively discussed, whether considerations of foreign policy take precedence over those of domestic policy or vice versa, is, in his eyes, an idle one. For liberalism is, from the very outset, a world-embracing political concept, and the same ideas that it seeks to realize within a limited area it holds to be valid also for the larger sphere of world politics. If the liberal makes a distinction between domestic and foreign policy, he does so solely for purposes of convenience and classification, to subdivide the vast domain of political problems into major types, and not because he is of the opinion that different principles are valid for each.

The goal of the domestic policy of liberalism is the same as that of its foreign policy: peace. It aims at peaceful cooperation just as much between nations as within each nation. The starting point of liberal thought is the recognition of the value and importance of human cooperation, and the whole policy and program of liberalism is designed to serve the purpose of maintaining the existing state of mutual cooperation among the members of the human race and of extending it still further. The ultimate ideal envisioned by liberalism is the perfect cooperation of all mankind, taking place peacefully and without friction. Liberal thinking always has the whole of humanity in view and not just parts. It does not stop at limited groups; it does not end at the border of the village, of the province, of the nation, or of the continent. Its thinking is cosmopolitan and ecumenical: it takes in all men and the whole world. Liberalism is, in this sense, humanism; and the liberal, a citizen of the world, a cosmopolite. Ludwig von Mises
