The Mises-Hoiles Correspondence: What Might Have Been

09/12/2024 Wendy McElroy

From 1949 to 1962, American libertarian R.C. Hoiles and Ludwig von Mises corresponded many times, discussing issues relating to state power. While the correspondence at times was acrimonious, nonetheless, it offered valuable insight into the issues we still face.

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.
