10/16/2014 Mises Wire Ryan McMaken

A reader writes after viewing this documentary and noticing some Mises Institute books in the background...

“As with all book-nerds, I’m ever eager to scan the background of images and video to see what books folks have on their shelf. No big surprise for a Bitcoin documentary, but I still got a kick out of what I saw in Charlie Shrem’s office.”

Replicate a part of Shrem’s library for yourself with The Economics of Liberty, For a New Liberty, and The Bastiat Collection.

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.
