I think 2014 will be a remarkable year,
not only for the Mises Institute, but for the Austrian movement, as well.
Whether we're talking about the Fed, Obamacare,
war entitlements—you name it—the Austrian School has explanations
and the answers that people know they won't get from the mainstream economics
talking-heads on TV,
or in the New York Times. So, I was thrilled when Lew Rockwell
asked me to come to Auburn and join the Institute, because I think this is an
incredible time to be involved.
We're re-making our website, Mises.org, with the dynamic new look and
state-of-the-art functionality.
Mises.org is really the epicenter of the Austrian movement,
and soon it will combine world-class search and graphics
with our remarkable range of academic content. Of course, the site will always remain
an incredible source
for thousands of books, articles, speeches. and more,
from giants like Mises, Hazlitt, Hayek,
Rothbard, and Hoppe—all available free of charge to millions around the world.
Our academic blog is changing, too, with fresh young thinkers providing insights
and commentary
you won't find anywhere else. Our bloggers attack the
economic status quo
offering a much-needed Austrian perspective on current events,
Fed policy, the financial markets, gold,
and a wide range of other topics. Mises Academy,
our online learning platform, is at the forefront the Education Revolution.
We're bringing uncompromising Austrian coursework to anyone,
anywhere—education that is simply not available at bricks-and-mortar colleges,
and at a fraction of the cost. In 2014, we will offer dozens of new courses
taught by the most dynamic Austrian thinkers today. And, our week-long Mises
University continues to draw
the best and brightest students interested in economics from around
the world.
In 2014, Judge Andrew Napolitano will join our faculty,
and he'll help us launch a whole new crop of Mises U graduates
in the PhD programs, academia, science,
the arts, and private business. We can now envision a day when someone asks
a young person,
"Where did you learn economics?" and they can reply, "I went to Mises."
All these changes will enable the Mises Institute to advance our vision of
a free society on a scale that wasn't possible even ten years ago.
Though while all of these changes are exciting, our mission never changes,
never wavers. We will always be dedicated to education and scholarship,
the teaching people about Austrian economics, freedom
and peace. As always, nothing we do is possible without you.
In 2014, join us: support the Mises Institute.
