Yellowhammer News announced today that it will begin carrying articles written by the scholars at the Mises Institute, a world-renowned economics research center located in Auburn.
“Many conservatives are likely unaware that our beliefs in the free market were significantly, if not entirely, shaped by Ludwig Von Mises and his students,” said the site’s editor, J. Pepper Bryars. “In this era of tribalism and partisanship, getting back to our core principles — knowing them, abiding by them, teaching them — is more important than ever, and the scholars at the Mises Institute, located right here in Alabama, can help us achieve that goal.”
According to its website, the Mises Institute was founded in 1982 to “promote teaching and research in the Austrian school of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.”
“As both Mises and Rothbard demonstrated with their work, free markets are really at the heart of a just society,” said Jeff Deist, president of the Mises Institute. “We don’t support markets for their own sake, but because they are so essential in promoting peace and freedom in the world today.”
The Mises Institute hosts faculty, students, and other researchers at its Auburn campus, and it works with dozens of associated scholars worldwide on a variety of research projects. The Institute has held hundreds of teaching conferences and seminars on subjects from monetary policy to the history of war, as well as the international and interdisciplinary Austrian Economics Research Conference.
From these programs, the Institute has sponsored many books and hundreds of scholarly papers, in addition to thousands of published popular articles on economic and historical issues.
