The name Ludwig von Mises is synonymous with classical liberalism. He was an unrepentant champion of freedom and free markets. His beliefs, unlike so many of us, were not something he inherited from his parents or society. Many he obtained from others, but many he was the original developer using his...

The Economic Crisis is Only a Symptom By Monty Pelerin , posted February 20th, 2010 http://www.economicnoise.com/2010/02/20/the-economic-crisis-is-only-a-symptom/ There are few economic problems that don’t originate in politics.

I was going to write a longer diatrabe where I describe in detail the March on Albany (NY) protest I went to this past week put on by the Tea Party people. I was kinda reluctant, as most of the people in the local group are all retirees and I'm fresh out of college, but at least it's nice to...

Ron Bailey , science correspondent at ReasonOnline , has a very useful post up that outlines how markets and the institutions that underpin them explain declining fertility in Western societies, and that suggest grounds for optimism when looking at population growth in the developing world. However,...

The Ludwig von Mises Institute (which kindly hosts these pages!) continues to outdo itself on providing empty climate posts, this time by bringing us a new author, Jason King (completely new to LvMI, and apparently with no prior internet-searchable commentary whatsoever). How is it that LvMI is proving...

I got accepted into the Foundation of Economic Education's Austrian Economics seminar. You know who is going to be there? <b>Israel Kirzner</b>. That's right, a guy who has studied under MIses himself is going to be there. I have his textbook on price theory that I totally want him...

There is a new climate change lawsuit in US courts, this time by the Inuit inhabitants of an Alaskan village that will soon be rendered uninhabitable by the rapid erosion resulting from the year-round pounding of seas that were once frozen; the villagers are blaming man-made climate change and suing...

In my recent post, " Escape from Reason: are Austrians conservatives, or neocons, on the environment? ", I noted two recent posts by George Reisman and Sean Corrigan and wondered whether a significant number of LvMI blog authors and commenters, on a host of "environmental" issues...

In their more considerate writings, Austrians have counseled a cool, rational approach to environmental issues. But recent posts lead me to wonder whether a number of LvMI blog authors and commenters prefer hot-headed emotional outbursts and partisan, ad hominem attacks over Austrian principles, rational...

First post! Really, here's an introduction - I'm a fourth year economics student. I'll concede that I really can't call myself a pure Austrian - while I think praxeology is great, I think that the use of math and statistics in economics is fine. What I agree with Austrians though is that...
