The leading French newspaper Le Monde has prominently featured two pieces (October 7, 2003) on the Mises Institute and the Austrian School, available in French here: “De Vienne à Auburn, l’école libertarienne mène une lutte farouche contre l’Etat” and “Murray N. Rothbard retrace l’histoire économique de Platon à Jean-baptiste Say.” A French economist, Laurent Carnis, comments that this is the first time in memory that Austro-libertarian ideas have enjoyed positive coverage in France’s mainstream press.
