My family had the luxury of living in Switzerland for a few years in the 70&#39;s before I was born. This exposed my family to Capitalism and Peace, some austrian principles like sound money, etc. As a college student I was also introduced to Ron Paul around 2008, and then eventually the other great Austrian economists like Von Mises, Rothbard, and such. Walter Block was the very first Austrian I studied in more depth. Lastly, I just wanted to say that Libertarianism is superior to any other ideology because we don&#39;t want to force our beliefs on others. We are extremely peaceful and I have always respected that.&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> It is a little troubling more people don&#39;t understand this, having read some threads here recently, but hopefully mises.org can continue to grow and debate the merits of Austrian Economics.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
