After distributing tens of thousands of copies of Hayek for the 21st Century, we’re preparing our next major free-book project: Why Mises Matters Today.

Edited by Mises Institute Senior Fellow Shawn Ritenour, the book will bring together some of Ludwig von Mises’s most accessible and relevant writings for today’s economic and political challenges.

Our goal: print and distribute 100,000 copies free of charge, including to students and campus groups across the country.

If you believe Mises’s ideas deserve a wider audience, help us make it possible:

By every indication, continuing his work was pointless.

He did it anyway—and a small group of supporters eventually stepped forward to make that work possible.

A broken window means work for the glazier. So is war and destruction good for the economy?

Dr. Jonathan Newman explains the broken window fallacy: the spending isn't new, it's just redirected, and a real resource was lost.

Ryan McMaken explains how Ludwig von Mises's views on central banking were once dismissed as too extreme, and how Mises, Rothbard, and Ron Paul brought them into the mainstream.
