Praxeology and Understanding: An Analysis of the Controversy in Austrian Economics
About the Ludwig von Mises Institute
Founded in October 1982, the Ludwig von Mises Institute is a unique educational organization dedicated to the work of Ludwig von Mises and the advancement of Austrian economics. The Institute’s board is chaired by Mrs. Ludwig von Mises. The founder and president is Llewellyn H. Rockwell. Professor Murray N. Rothbard, Professor Mises’s top American student, is vice president for academic affairs.
In six decades of teaching and writing, Professor Mises rebuilt the science of economics, and the defense of the free market and honest money, on a foundation of individual human action. From then on, Marxists, Socialists, and Keynesians might retain their positions of power in governments and universities, but they had been defeated in the intellectual battle.
Ludwig von Mises dedicated himself to scholarship and freedom. The Mises Institute pursues the same goals through an extensive program of:
• Publications, including the twice-annual Review of Austrian Economics edited by Murray N. Rothbard; the monthly Free Market; the quarterly Austrian Economics Newsletter; books; monographs; and occasional papers in theory and policy.
• Fellowships and assistantships for Misesian graduate students.
• The O. P. Alford, III, Center for Advanced Studies in Austrian Economics.
• Academic centers at Auburn University and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
• Teaching programs and seminars, including the annual summer “Mises University” at Stanford.
• Conferences on such subjects as the gold standard, the Federal Reserve, taxes, Marxism, Keynesianism, bureaucracy, socialism, and the work of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.
• The Henry Hazlitt Fund for Economic Journalism.
• The Lawrence Fertig Student Center.
• Public policy work in Washington, D.C., on the free market and gold standard.
