I just came across a new book, Economic Thinkers: A Biographical Encyclopedia, edited by David Dieterle. I was suspicious when I saw Bernanke and Greenspan on the book cover, but the book covers a wide range of economists in terms of time and philosophical outlook. Each of the entries is meant to provide an introduction to the “economic thinkers” for the general reader. I counted about 30 Austrians in the book and only three living economists associated in some way with the Austrian school; Robert Ekelund, Hans Hoppe, George Reisman.

What is the Mises Institute?

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.
