If you want a boost, read through the 1,200 signatures on the Hoppe Blog. It certainly impresses you with its internationalism (Poland, Russia, China, Brazil, Spain, Lithuania, and on and on) and its interdisciplinary appeal (economics but also history, philosophy, natural sciences, engineering, and more).
This recent comment jumps out:
I’d like to relate one very brief story that tells you what kind of person Prof. Hoppe is. After reading one of his articles, I asked him a question in an email. I was amazed — busy as he is, he took the time to write a very comprehensive (and enlightening!) reply to someone he had never heard of!
This is not too unusual of people associated with the Mises Institute, but I was still so impressed at his willingness to converse one on one with a complete stranger. His intellectual energy and love of liberty really shine through!
