The JLS: Then and Now

09/03/2005 Mises Wire Laurence M. Vance

If you haven’t subscribed to the Journal of Libertarian Studies because you thought the price of $29.95 was too high then consider this: the ad in the December 1976 issue of The Libertarian Forum advertising the new JLS to be published beginning in 1977 says that the price is $20. That is only a $9.95 increase in almost 30 years.

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.
