Someone who uses Twitter under the handle @Numba1TSwiftFan and goes by TaylorSwiftForeva is a fan of both Taylor Swift and Austrian economics.

When big time celebrity blogger Perez Hilton tweeted “Taylor Swift keeps winning,” TSF responded, “Couldn’t agree more!She is being vindicated just like the Austrian economists.” Perez “retweeted” the response, putting it in the feeds of 6.3 million Twitter users. (Thanks to James Miller.)

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
