Philosophy and Methodology

Not realizing that markets merely reflect the values of consumers, theologian Harvey Cox imagines that markets somehow force consumers to shop.

Deirdre McCloskey contends that ideas — not capital accumulation or material resources — have caused widespread economic development.

Populism is a strategy that may be used by any ideological group whose political agenda differs radically from that of the ruling class.

To understand the marketplace, it is not necessary to believe in the existence of a selfish, profit-maximizing human.

A pro-tax disciple of Henry George gave us the board game we know today as Monopoly.

When anti-capitalist leftists expound on the evils of "neoliberalsm," they are usually just attacking freedom and free markets in general.

Henry Hazlitt brings to his only novel, Time Will Run Back, the same clarity and ease for the reader he brought to Economics in One Lesson.

For Mises, racism is not just contrary to liberalism and sound economics, but to reason itself.

In the tradition of Ludwig von Mises himself, the Mises Institute works daily to pass on sound economics to a new generation of teachers and writers.

An economics that forsakes the dignity of the human person and his capacity for creativity and aesthetics does so at its own peril and disgrace.
