Thanksgiving is not simply a holiday celebrating the abundance of capitalism, but a time to give thanks for all we are grateful for. The Mises Institute is thankful to all of our generous donors, talented writers, and incredible supporters — your enthusiasm is what allows us to spread the ideas of Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, Henry Hazlitt and the rest of the Austrian School throughout the world.
With the holiday season approaching, if you would live to gift the ideas of Austrian economics and liberty you can still take advantage of our Black Friday 20% off special at the Mises Bookstore, and be on the look out for Cyber Monday deals coming up next week. Also consider taking advantage of our partnership with Amazon Smile for any online purchases you may make in the weeks ahead.
On Mises Weekends, our friend Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com joins Jeff to discuss what, if anything, libertarians should be thankful for following Trump’s election this month. Could Trump actually offer a real change in America’s disastrous foreign policy? Or will Trump end up simply dredging the swamp, instead of draining it?
