David Nolan, RIP

11/22/2010 Mises Wire Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

As many readers doubtless already know, David Nolan, a founder of the Libertarian Party, died yesterday in Tucson, Arizona. He was on the side of the angels, so to speak, on the issues so many of us care about. He was also a model of civility: he could disagree with others without purging or smearing them — a vanishing quality in our world. I’ve been pleased to see so many tributes (particularly on Facebook) by young people who were inspired by him. Here he is on the Lew Rockwell Show in December 2008. Rest in peace.

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.
