Acknowledgments

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thanks are due the more than 50 authors, living and dead, whose thoughts and efforts made this volume possible. Special appreciation is given the individuals and publishers who originally granted permission to the Foundation for Economic Education (referred to in this basic reader as FEE) to reproduce the many titles appearing here from its early pamphlets and other publications—Ideas on Liberty, The Freeman and Notes From FEE. Hopefully all persons and organizations who contributed have been adequately recognized in the footnote identifying each essay. However, any omissions or errors which may have occurred must be laid at the door of the compiler.

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.
