A Glimpse at Rothbard the Man

A Glimpse at Rothbard the Man

“While Rothbard was still busy writing and polishing the manuscript of his magnum opus, Hans Sennholz was already a quality product of Mises’s NYU seminar....And in distinct contrast to Rothbard, who spent nights working or discussing with friends, slept through much of the day, missed deadline after deadline, and tended to be messy and disorderly, Sennholz featured the Teutonic personal virtues of punctuality, orderliness, and reliability.”

—Jörg Guido Hülsmann, Mises:  The Last Knight of Liberalism

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.
