A Change that Announces Itself

07/14/2004 Mises Wire Jeffrey A. Tucker

We didn’t announce the new header yesterday because, well, it is rather obvious. We are still tweaking things here and there, of course, but we have been so very pleased at how smoothly it has gone. Meanwhile, Wayback, the website museum, collects:

Mises.org from 1996 (the wheel invented),
1997 (more than just an ad),
1998 (frames, remember those?, no longer work),
1999 (first real modernization),
2000 (getting the hang of things),
2001 (full text books online!),
2002 (civilization at last),
and 2003 (fabulous for its time).

What is the Mises Institute?

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.
