"Once in a great while, a book appears that both embodies and dramatically extends centuries of accumulated wisdom in a particular discipline, and, at the same time, radically challenges the intellectual and political consensus of the day. Human Action by Ludwig von Mises is such a book, and more: a comprehensive treatise on economic science that would lay the foundation for a massive shift in intellectual opinion that is still working itself out fifty years after publication."
So begins the introduction to the 1998 scholar's edition of Mises's Human Action, written by Jeffrey Herbener, Hans-Hermann Hoppe, and Joseph Salerno. These words still ring true today.
Mises’s pioneering work laid the foundation for the Mises Institute, which recently marked its 40th anniversary. After four decades of scholarship, events, and educational programs, the Mises Institute's mission remains rooted in the ideas of Ludwig von Mises. We are excited to invite you to join us at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, for our Human Action Conference, celebrating the 75th anniversary of Ludwig von Mises's masterpiece.
Mises Institute Senior Fellows, Fellows, and Associated Scholars will deliver presentations discussing the significance of Human Action. Furthermore, their contributions will be published in a commemorative volume in honor of Mises's seminal work. Our confirmed speakers include:
