Anyone know anything about them besides what is on wikipedia or their website?  It looks as though Hayek was a founder of the original.  I think Mises himself actually spoke at one of their events.  On their link page, they list many libertarian and free-market oriented organizations, sans the Mises Institute.  Are the two organizations not cordial?

Hmm, no Mises.org? maybe someone just needs to drop the webmaster a note.

I recall that there was some kind of a break up between the old Misesian liberals and the "neo-liberals" lead by Ropke. That could have something to do with it?
