The great economist Henry Hazlitt had exceptional insight in economic theory as exemplified by his great work The Failure of The “New Economics.” The Mises Institute is holding an essay contest to celebrate the 65th anniversary of what Murray Rothbard called “the best and most thorough exercise in economic demolition since Böhm-Bawerk exploded Marx’s labor theory of value.” Participants are invited to use Hazlitt’s 1959 refutation of John Maynard Keynes to expose the key errors of contemporary macroeconomics. Essays should be no more than 5,000 words.
The Mises Institute is holding an essay contest to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Ludwig von Mises’s Bureaucracy. Entrants are encouraged to explore the themes of Mises’s essay and their implications for human prosperity and flourishing under capitalism, socialism, and interventionism. Essays should be 1,500–2,000 words in length.
Prizes of $1,500, $1,000, and $750 will be awarded to the top three essays in each contest. The winners will be invited to present their papers at AERC 2024, with conference registration fees waived and accommodations covered (travel not included).
Submission deadlines for both contests are February 9, 2023.
