Part II: The Historic Roots

PART II THE HISTORIC ROOTS

If no soul perishes, how could those great souls the nations, with their bright genius and their history rich in martyrs, full of heroic sacrifices, overflowing with immortality—how could these be extinguished? When one of them is in eclipse for one moment, the whole world suffers in every nation.

MICHELET, Le Peuple, PART 3, CH. 4

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists 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.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
