This is the biggest year in publishing by the Mises Institute in our entire history. We never imagined that we would become a full-fledged publishing house and never planned it that way, but this seems to have happened in any case. FULL ARTICLE by Jeffrey A. Tucker

I would be very interested in seeing the number of units sold on this list!
Keep up the great work, ladies and guys!
From my own perspective as an ‘organic Tory’ with feudal sympathies—mea culpa!—Mr Tucker’s observation cannot ring more true:
With my developing affinity for Austrian economics, I have been subject to suggestions that I have betrayed a certain understanding of One Nation Toryism; yet my opinions on sound money and free-market principles have not been formed solely by the late-nineteenth-century Austrians (particularly von Mises), but principally by the late scholastics, such as Nicholas Oresme and Juan de Mariana, others of the School of Salamanca, and further observations by Rothbard in his history of economic thought and by J.G. Hülsmann in his work on money production. Subsequent readings in Cantillon and Bastiat (among others) are simply icing on the cake.
My Toryism, then, has its foundations securely anchored in the economic sensibilities of the High Middle Ages (if you will), and can withstand any criticisms of heterodoxy by fellow conservatives—all thanks to the efforts of Tucker, Rockwell, and their associates.
As for the Mises Institute? Ad multos annos!
Yeah what are the actual sales figures? I would really be interested in seeing such data! And congratulations on a very successful year Jeff! You and your staff do a great job…Also you guys ship me my books faster than any other place I buy from.
I know I’m not supposed to judge a book by its cover but the “Bourbon for Breakfast” cover is classic.
Astonishing, wonderful library and book store from the Mises Institute! I feel like I’ve read a lot here already but this is a reminder of how much there is to read. Keep up the good work!
I got the Human Action pocket edition for Christmas. 50 pages in so far and it’s mind-blowing. Thanks for making these wonderful books available.
Does the Mises Institute have any of these books in the Nook e-reader format? I’d love to puchase them to read on my nook directly from the Mises institute so I know my money goes towards a good cause.
I actually bought three books from a gift card I was given to Amazon. Only one was on the top 10 list. I was surprised that the prices were all under $15! You guys continue to offer cheap books. Excellent capitalism you guys produce.
Of course, since I only read books once, I’ll be donating these books to the Vancouver Regional Public Library (of Clark County, Washington, USA) after I am done, so if you live in the area (I know at least one of you does), you might be able to get them that way. This includes the pocket edition of Human Action, but that will probably take a few months for me to finish. (I’m on page 468 from reading via the multi-volume series)
Excellent job mises.org!!
I own 5 out of the 10 on the list including Human Action and Man, Economy, and State. I even bought a couple of them this past year… Now, I need to pick up those other 5.
I would buy a pocket edition of man economy and the state in an instant.
