Comedian Dave Smith‘s set at Mises U.

By far, the coolest thing I have ever done in my career... is coming here to the Mises University. Long live the Mises Institute!

Includes an introduction by Jeff Deist. Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on 20 July 2019.

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.
