Browne is known as the libertarian investment guru who wrote books like How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. Browne represented the Libertarian Party in two presidential elections. His voice was consistent and principled. He was a giant.

Galambos was the unknown libertarian, but those who met him and the students in his courses seemed profoundly effected by him and his Free Enterprise Institute. Browne was not permitted to teach ideas that Galambos maintained were his. Students were not allowed to tell you about the mysterious classes.

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.
