Welcome to the first issue of The Misesian. We’ve decided to rename The Austrian magazine to emphasize how Ludwig von Mises remains at the center of everything that is today called the Austrian School of economics.

Jörg Guido Hülsmann

State-provided gratuitousness is not only sterile but positively harmful, the exact opposite of the gratuitous goods provided by free and responsible citizens. The truth is that generosity and abundance flourish in a free economy.

Jeffery L. Degner

The importance of this book lies primarily in how it shows the interventionist state is at the root of Western society’s increasingly loathsome, self-destructive, and stingy culture. 

Ryan McMaken

David Gordon

David Gordon
