Good Rothbard Quote

apropos nothing: from here:

“There is a myth that all Austrians are generalists. General instincts are fine, but they are not enough to sustain a school. A body of thought stands or falls on its practitioners ability to master the technical issues in particular fields. It’s what distinguishes dilettantes, hobbyists, and amateur philosophers from engaged economists. I have little patience for people who want to reconstruct Austrian economics from the ground up, but then can’t explain, in praxeological terms, the law of demand, much less give an account of the regression theorem.”

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.
