  Ludwig von Mises Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ludwig von Mises Institute (LvMI), based in Auburn, Alabama, is a libertarian academic organization engaged in research and scholarship in the fields of economics, philosophy and political economy.
The Ludwig von Mises Institute was established in 1982 under the direction of Margit von Mises, widow of Ludwig von Mises, who chaired its board until her death in 1993.
The Institute characterizes itself as libertarian and expresses antiwar and non-interventionist positions on American foreign policy, asserting that war is a violation of any rights to life, liberty, and property with destructive effects on the market economy and empowering aspects for government.

 Mises and Rothbard in Le Monde   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
It is true that Mises had made himself known in academic circles in 1920, through an article that demonstrated the impossibility of a socialist economy’s avoiding total bankruptcy.
As an aggravating circumstance, Mises was Jewish, and the fact that his grandfather had been raised to the nobility by Emperor Franz-Josef in 1881, the very day of Ludwig’s birth, evidently changed nothing in the eyes of the Nazis (the Mises Institute’s crest is none other than the Mises family’s coat-of-arms after its ennoblement).
A prolific author and political agitator, in 1982, with the blessing of Mises’ widow and the assistance of Lew Rockwell, a Catholic libertarian and another champion at “fund raising,” he founds the Ludwig von Mises Institute, dedicated to teaching the “Austrian” approach to economics.

 LibertyGuide.com - Ludwig von Mises   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Ludwig Edler von Mises, the eminence of the "Austrian School" of economics, may be best known for his part in a debate that raged during the early part of the 20th Century about the possibility of successful economic coordination under socialism.
Mises argued forcefully that state ownership of the means of production makes the best assignment of capital goods impossible, due to the absence of a market price system.
Never fully appreciated in academic Vienna, and in flight from Nazi Austria, Mises moved to Geneva in 1934, where he completed his magnum opus, Human Action, which lays out a comprehensive economic theory based on what Mises took to be self-evident, a priori axioms of human behavior.

 Mises Economics Blog: The Mises Institute Bowtie
This an all-silk woven tie, embroidered with the Mises shield, is of dazzling beauty and stately elegance.
And thus the deep burgundy, which is perfectly matched with the same color in the Habsburg shield of the von Mises family, a color that serves as the perfect complement to greys and blues in coats and suits.
And so even if this were not the Mises Institute tie, even if it didn't feature the family crest of the greatest economist and freedom fighter of the modern epic, it would merit a high place in any wardrobe.

 Jim Peron - Von Mises Washed in the Blood of Jesus
But the Mises of the Mises Institute is not the great economist Ludwig von Mises that walked this planet.
Hendrickson says that Mises "was silent about the spiritual, divine laws of economics that are manifested in the Bible" But still: "We who uphold the Judeo-Christian tradition should be proud to claim Ludwig von Mises as one of our own." Now whether Mises himself would keep such company is not open to question.
As Mises saw it, since Jesus simply repudiated all values of this life "His teachings had no moral applications to life on earth." In another place he said: "Jesus offers no rules for earthly action and struggle; his Kingdom is not of this world.

 tomgpalmer.com: "Mises Institute" Cultists Blast Mises Center Head for Opposing Authoritarian Socialism

Somehow the Mises Institute, as a corporate entity, is responsible for this individual's comments on a website not operated by the Mises Institute.

Following Mises, it shows how the new subjectivism is derived from the old subjectivism, or the subjective theory of value, and how it is a revolution against both positivism and elitism in economics.

If Ludwig von Mises were alive today, he could say: "I told you so." For in 1920, he wrote a long article on socialism, followed by a book two years later, that crafted socialism's tombstone.
