This week the Mises Institute held its Fall Campaign and the response has been extraordinary, which coincided with Ludwig von Mises’s 135th birthday this past Thursday. Everyone here at the Institute takes incredible pride in continuing our namesake’s legacy in being an uncompromising voice for the ideas of Austrian economics, freedom, and peace. It is because of our incredible supporters all around the world, that the Institute has been able to beat DC think tanks, and has been able to ensure that the Austrian school continues to thrive in the 21st century. If you haven’t donated yet, please consider doing so at Mises.org/$5.
Especially in times like this, with the air full of the noise and nonsense from this year’s presidential election, the lessons of Mises — and the example with which he lived his life — are vital to never losing sight of what really is needed to forge a more prosperous future.
Speaking of this year’s election, the Institute is excited to be in Boston this week holding a Mises Circle on “The Real State of the Us Economy.” Our speakers include Tom Woods, Ed Stringham, Lew Rockwell, Mark Thornton, and Jeff Deist, all offering a view that is much different than anything you heard during Monday’s debate. The event begins at 8:30 am EST, and you can watch live at Mises.org/live. Feel free to tweet questions to @Mises using #MisesCircle.
On Mises Weekends this week, Jeff joined our friend John O’Donnell at Power Trading Radio to dive deeper into the subject of the broken state of modern economics. Along with touching on what is really being taught in American econ programs today, Jeff and John discuss the college federal loan scam, and the unique role the Mises Institute plays in economic education.
