No ideas are more powerful to the cause of freedom than the truth about economics, which is at the heart of the Misesian and Rothbardian traditions. Our mission for the past forty-two years has been to spread these truths as far and wide as possible. We would be much farther down the road to serfdom without the Mises Institute.
For several decades, I have considered the Mises Institute my Mecca. Every year, I made a pilgrimage to Auburn to spend a week teaching at Mises University, the world’s preeminent program in Austrian School economics. As of 2024, more than 4,750 students have graduated from Mises University. This past July, thirteen of the eighteen faculty members were themselves Mises University alumni! The new generation of Austrian thinkers is taking the helm. Does Mises University make a difference? Absolutely!
Over one hundred students learned about competition, value and utility, money and banking, business cycles, entrepreneurship, economic method, economic history, and financial economics. My contribution was Axis of Evil: America’s Three Worst Presidents.
