Hans-Hermann Hoppe

An extraordinary and wide ranging interview with Hans-Hermann Hoppe: "The apologists of the central state claim that a proliferation of independent political units would lead to economic disintegration and impoverishment. Today, however, manny small countries are all wealthier than their surroundings. Moreover, theoretical reflection also shows that this claim is just another statist myth."

Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.

The Mises Institute, founded in 1982, is the major educator, publisher, supporter, and promoter of Austrian School economics and libertarian ideas in the world today. The ideas we encourage and promote do not exist in a vacuum, however: they are constantly bolstered by government failures and freedom's successes. To explain why, the Institute publishes journals, supports students, holds conference, and maintains a website that draws more traffic than the UN. Our influence with students, and now even faculty, makes us competitive with the American Economic Association or any government bureaucracy you can name.

William H. Peterson

Ludwig von Mises was a great economist and teacher, writes William Peterson, but there is one more thing for which to credit Mises: a role model for each of us--whoever you are--for his standing up to the power elite of mainstream politics and economics, for valor in the face of all manner of fire, for never giving up. And to do so with verve and wit.
