My Letter to President Harter on behalf of Hoppe

My Letter to President Harter on behalf of Hoppe

Dear President Carol C. Harter,

Universities are supposed to contribute to the development of character in their young charges. All too often they prefer to breed spineless, spoilt youngsters, forever poised to receive offence and ever eager to deploy Soviet-style procedures to destroy careers and reputations.

The complaining student was offended by Prof. H. Hoppe's comments about the connection between broad group characteristics and life styles and time preference. For his own sake, make the student apologize for his snide tactics and teach him to debate, not defame.

Respectfully, Ilana Mercer

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.
