Overview
The Mises Institute, founded in 1982, teaches the scholarship of Austrian economics, freedom, and peace. The liberal intellectual tradition of Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) and Murray N. Rothbard (1926-1995) guides us. Accordingly, we seek a profound and radical shift in the intellectual climate: away from statism and toward a private property order. We encourage critical historical research, and stand against political correctness. The institute serves students, academics, business leaders, and anyone seeking better understanding of the Austrian school of economics and libertarian political theory.
Details
Rothbard Graduate Seminar is an intense study of Misesian and Rothbardian economic analysis with applications to current research and related fields. Participants discuss a common set of readings with each other and Mises Institute faculty, who give advanced lectures on the material.
The goal is to equip graduate students with a solid understanding of the ideas of Mises and Rothbard, so that they may apply it to their graduate studies and research.
The core text for RGS 2025 is Man, Economy, and State with Power and Market, a foundational treatise in Austrian economics. The text will be supplemented by a forthcoming book by Drs. Joseph Salerno and Patrick Newman on the writing of Rothbard’s treatise, titled Murray N. Rothbard: The Making of a Misesian Economist. The goal of the seminar will be to analyze Rothbard’s derivation of economic theory and his development as an economist.
Welcoming remarks and discussions take place over dinner Sunday, June 8. Sessions begin Monday morning, June 9, and end Friday afternoon, June 13.
