Thank you Jeffrey, and thank you to everyone at The Mises Institute.

Thank you for the all the literature, posts, media and most of all, the environment.

This website is an incredibly open and inviting scholarly resource, and I can’t wait for everything the LvMI has planned for 2010.

As I understand it, Mises University had 215 people. But many more applied (http://blog.mises.org/archives/010349.asp).

Isn’t it a shame that people wanted to come but couldn’t? Perhaps this number could be increased by renovation or addition of facilities? Perhaps it already is?

Also, what about a page on the Mises website which shows the top websites that are sending people to any Mises.org page? Some of these websites would be referencing Mises.org in disagreement. Then, Austrian evangelists could visit those sites, and engage them.

Thank You!!! It was just a few years ago that I “stumbled” upon mises.org and since then, my daily visits are always a most illuminating and rewarding experience. There is an absolute bounty here, and I have taken full advantage of it all. I have been so profoundly influenced and educated, and learn more every day. Having the knowledge now to correctly and succinctly explain to my friends and colleagues (and I was an econ major in college and never was exposed to Austrian theory) has been a wonderful experience.

All most people ever hear is each party’s “talking heads” or think there’s a democrat or republican solution. I try to explain to them I’m NEITHER and I despise them both!!! No, neither has the faintest idea of a solution, but rather are actually the problem. First there’s looks of incredulity, then bewilderment, then interest, then every now and then, I see a light bulb go off and they begin to realize that there was nothing even resembling a free market, and it was solely intervention that created the entire mess. Most people I talk to have never heard of the ABCT, nor have any understanding of the Fed, fiat currency, or what real money ought to be (or even what purpose money truly serves in the first place!!). And I won’t even start on the real truth about the depression…

I have mises.org to thank for such wonderful information.

I believe we’ll awake in 2010 with much greater and ever growing appreciation and interest in Austrian and libertarian ideas.

Again, thank you for all that you’ve done. That more is in store, I can only eagerly await.

Best wishes for 2010 and many thanks to everyone involved with the Mises Institute, you are doing an incredible job!

Love this Rob; this is precisely my experience. Isn’t it uber gratifying (and fun!) to see people wake up?

Thank you to all involved at mises.org. As a neophyte, I really appreciate the clarity of the writers here. I keep a link to mises.org in my email sig in hopes of directing others to this site.
