The Ludwig von Mises Institute

Named after one of the most influential and important economists in history, the von Mises institute is known world-wide as a home of rigorous intellectual thought in support of individual liberty. Mises was in the vanguard of what is now known as the "Austrian School" of economics. He escaped to the United States at the time of Hitler's expansion through Austria, and brought his breakthrough thinking on freedom and markets to the US, where he published numerous books, including his opus, "Human Action".
