The Mises Institute is the world’s largest, oldest and most influential educational institution dedicated to promoting Austrian economics, freedom and peace in the tradition of classical liberalism. Since 1982, the Mises Institute has provided both scholars and laypeople with resources to expand their understanding of the school of economic thought known as Austrian economics. This school is most closely associated with our namesake, the economist Ludwig von Mises. We are the worldwide epicenter of the Austrian movement. Through their research in the fields of economics, history, philosophy and political theory, Mises’s students FA Hayek, Henry Hazlitt, Murray Rothbard and others carried the Austrian school into the late 20th century. Today, researchers and scholars of the Mises Institute continue the important work of the Austrian School. Austrian economics is a method of economic analysis and is non-ideological. However, the Austrian School has long been associated with libertarian and classical-liberal thought—promoting private property and freedom while opposing war and aggression of all kinds. The Mises Institute continues to support research and education in this radical pro-liberty tradition of historians, philosophers, economists, and theorists such as Jean-Baptiste Say, Frédéric Bastiat, Richard Cobden, Herbert Spencer, Lysander Spooner, William Graham Sumner, Albert Jay.
