Interviewed by hosts Merlin Rothfeld and John O’Donnell, Jeff Deist talks about his new role as President of the Mises Institute and what the Institute’s goals are. He also discusses the current economic situation, alternative currency methods, and politicians who share an Austrian-friendly view of the markets.

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.
