Mises U Day 1 Highlights

Daily July 21 MU highlights

Students began to arrive Sunday afternoon and by 5 pm, the Mises Institute was filled with students from around the nation, and around the world. Everyone had plenty to talk about.

Dinner was served at 6 pm, and our faculty members were sure to sit with the students so our students could get to know them and ask them questions.

At 7 pm, everyone moved up to Wolfe Lecture Hall where Jeff Deist welcomed the students before introducing Tom Woods who delivered the opening lecture, “The Role of Austrian Economics in the Liberty Movement” which explained the distinction between Austrian economics as a school of economic inquiry, and the political movement sometimes called “the Liberty Movement.”

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.
