Lew Rockwell explains why he collected his public talks rather than writing a systematic book: speeches introduce ideas and apply them to the moment in a way books can’t. He concedes some material is dated but argues the principles, and the recurring follies of the State, stay perennially relevant.

From Speaking of Liberty, as narrated by the author, pp. 9-11.

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.
