Joe Salerno with his Students

08/04/2015 Mises Wire Ryan McMaken

I thought this photo (below) from July 2015 did an especially good job of capturing the camaraderie between Joe and his Summer Fellowship students at the Mises Institute. Summer Fellows arrive in May each year and stay through Mises University in late July, working on articles, dissertations, and other research while being able to work closely with Joe, Mark Thornton, and visiting scholars. We welcome applications here. Picture L-R: Salerno, Jingjing Wang, Jonathan Newman, Lukasz Dominiak, and Karl-Friedrich Israel.

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.
