Two of the Institute’s Fellows—a Frenchman and a German—join Jeff Deist for a freewheeling discussion of the political and economic situation in Europe.

Can Austrian economics revive Europe’s liberal tradition, or will statist impulses thwart any hope for liberation from Brussels? And, can the Mises Institute and its fellow travelers have an impact on academia on the continent? Sascha and Louis see hope for optimism, despite the bad news that seems to dominate European media.

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.
