Mises Institute: The Best Place To Learn Economics For Free + Why You Should Donate

in #economics6 years ago

I used to think of the comment section of https://mises.org to be the most intelligent and sensible communities on the planet. STEEM is even larger and better. But I still love https://mises.org and it is simply the best free resource I know when it comes to learning economics. Ludwig von Mises Institute for Austrian Economics was actually founded by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr., Burton Blumert and Murray Rothbard in 1982. Their Mission Statement is as follows:

To advance the Misesian tradition of thought through the defense of
the market economy, private property, sound money,
and peaceful international relations,
while opposing government intervention as economically and socially destructive.

They Depend on Your Donations

Major Universities thrive on all forms of multi-million dollar donations and massive fees from students and they have grown to a point to become investment organizations that legally avoid all taxes. Just look at the numbers:

But nobody really respect truth and accuracy these days. Recognition plays a larger part than actual education. Here are some quotes on the quality of education provided by The Mises Institute:

From the first lecture on the first day of Mises University, the Mises University faculty corrected these lies. Economic law isn’t found through statistical analysis but through deduction from the action axiom. Money isn’t a magical thing made valuable due to government, but a good like any other. The Federal Reserve is a cartel that causes business cycles, rather than smoothing them out. Every single myth perpetuated by our state-funded professors in our undergraduate programs was destroyed by the excellent Mises University faculty.

We got a chance to learn everything from the fundamentals of economic science to applications of economic law. Lectures began with things like praxeology, markets and prices, economic calculation, and entrepreneurship. Then, as the week went on, we heard the Austrian analysis on issues like inequality, Bitcoin, healthcare, and sustainability. The entire week was peppered with occasional lectures on related, non-economic subjects like an analysis of Robert Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia or the ethical perspectives held by the Austrian economists. I learned more about economics in a week than I have in my four semesters as an undergraduate in economics.

And yet, let’s set aside the lectures. The Mises University experience offered myself and other students so much more than I could’ve imagined. I expected to go to Mises University, enhance my knowledge of Austrian economics, and try and pass the oral exam. I did all of that, and yet, the best thing about Mises University is what I experienced outside the lectures..

Most of the content are actually freely available and about 5 million unique visitors comes to https://mises.org and Forbes magazine listed the Mises Institute as first among free-market organizations in YouTube subscribers, second in overall website visitors, and third in social media presence. It's an amazing organization with real results to show. I've learned a lot from them. But there is only so much I can do as a highschool dropout with no real job. So I though of bringing more awareness and helping to collect more donations.

I have not been contacted by Mises Institute nor I am affiliated to them in any meaningful way except for being a regular visitor to https://mises.org I'd like everyone who is reading this post to spend a few hours on the website and see for yourself the value of this free education resource. You won't get hired for a job because of it. Bu you'll know better economics that a person with an actual PhD.

Happy Learning!
