Today is Ludwig von Mises’s birthday, and the last day of our Fall Campaign.
Mises was the most important scholar of the twentieth century, a man who revolutionized our understanding of economic science, championed liberty and property, and became the greatest enemy of socialism the world has ever known.
Lew Rockwell founded the Mises Institute to promote Mises’s work and to follow our namesake’s courageous example.
Thanks to our generous donors, the Mises Institute continues to publish Mises’s great works, inspiring generations of freedom champions around the world—from the United States to China, from eastern Europe to South America.
We need your support to continue to carry out this important mission. Give just $5, and you will receive our newest publication, Hayek for the 21st Century. Donate $100 (or $9 per month) and you become a Member as well. All donors will be listed on mises.org as our gracious Supporters!
To celebrate Mises’s birthday, anyone who donates $100 or more today will also receive Marxism and the Manipulation of Man and The Middle of the Road Leads to Socialism.
Your donation helps us in our struggle to keep lit the torch of civilized society that has been entrusted to us.
As Mises wrote in his great treatise Socialism, “No one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us.”
Help us stand for civilization. Help us stand for liberty. Help us stand for markets. Help us stand for Ludwig von Mises.
Donating $100 (or a recurring gift of $9 per month) will make you a 2026 Member. Join us or renew your membership today! Every donor will receive a physical copy of Hayek for the 21st Century. Donors of $100 or more will also receive Mises’s Marxism and the Manipulation of Man and The Middle of the Road Leads to Socialism.
