The Mises Institute is in Asheville, North Carolina, this weekend, celebrating our Supporters Summit. We thought you might enjoy hearing a talk that Jeff Deist gave entitled the “The Role of the Mises Institute.” Here’s a hint: it’s not politics, it’s not public policy, and it’s not lobbying. But, rather, to be a school — a new kind of school — for the 21st century.

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.
