James Bovard Joins Board of Contributors of USA Today

08/18/2015 Mises Wire Ryan McMaken

It’s great to see that mises.org and The Austrian contributor James Bovard has joined the Board of Contributors of USA Today. Bovard is known for his numerous books covering government corruption, waste, and downright malifecence. His most recent book is Public Policy Hooligan.

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Back when I was a mere MA student, I rode the airport shuttle with Bovard back to Atlanta from Auburn, after he had delivered a talk at the Austrian Economics Research conference. Few professional writers are as charming and entertaining as this guy:

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.
