Mises.org in the Classroom

11/27/2012 Mises Wire Dan Sanchez

A teacher writes:

I am teaching an AP US History class and we are discussing the tariff controversies of the 1820s. I wanted to discuss the Harrisburg Convention of 1827 and looked for some quick references. Nothing in the Britannica hard copy, nothing on Wikipedia. I then searched the Mises.org website and found a 22-page article on PDF by W. Kesler Jackson from The Libertarian Papers (2010). Many thanks to the Ludwig von Mises Institute for making this type of free market publication available.

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.
