Three Cheers for Mises

                                                     My Gift is Doubled Today. I Want to Donate!

The intellectual achievements of Ludwig von Mises make him one of the greatest minds in human history. His contributions to Austrian economics inspired new generations of scholars, from Murray Rothbard and F.A. Hayek to current leaders like Joe Salerno, Ron Paul, Patrick Newman, and Tom Woods. He is the most powerful intellectual opponent to socialism the world has ever known, and his work on money and credit remains essential to understanding the corruption of the modern economy. Thanks to our generous donors, the Mises Institute continues to publish his great works, inspiring generations of freedom champions around the world, from the United States to China, from Eastern Europe to South America.

Mises was not simply a great scholar, however. He was a heroic example for those that came after. Time and time again, Mises faced political pressure and incentives to set aside his beliefs for a more lucrative career. At every point, he refused to compromise truth for comfort, tirelessly defending the ideas vital for future civilizations to prosper and thrive.

Lew Rockwell founded the Mises Institute to promote Mises’s work and has dedicated its operation to following our namesake’s courageous example.

This week we are asking those similarly inspired by Mises’s example to make a small gift of $5 or renew their membership for $100.

Hunter Lewis, a generous donor, has agreed to match your gift today. Hunter has been our matching gift donor for several years. He fully believes in the Mises Institute’s mission and wants to attract more and more young people to our cause.

With your donation today, you will receive Anatomy of the State, a classic by Murray Rothbard. We will also list you on mises.org as a supporter! This book is the perfect introduction for minds seeking to better understand the evils of the state.

Your donation will allow us to keep lit the torch of civilized society that has been entrusted to us.

In the words of Mises:

“No one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us.”

Help us stand for civilization. Help us stand for liberty. Help us stand for markets. Help us stand for Ludwig von Mises.

A recurring gift of $5 will make you a 2025 Friend of the Institute. Donating $100 (or $9 per month) will make you a 2025 Member. Join us or renew your membership today!

Please donate today. This Sunday marks the birthday of Ludwig von Mises, and all donations will be doubled in celebration.

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.
