It is extremely moving to see all the good wishes being spread on Mises’s 130th birthday. The Adam Smith Institute’s mention caught my attention, but there are dozens more, easily accessible through Google news, Google blogs, and Google discussions. I’m just thinking about this same day 30 years ago. Before Lew Rockwell founded the institute, there really was a sense that Mises’s work was being forgotten. Now we have the texts globalized, an infrastructure of support, a global venue for distribution and education, Mises Institutes all over the world, and, at the same time, an intensification of a global economic crisis that Mises’s ideas address directly and poignantly.

I’d sing the Birthday song, but apparently some corporation owns the copyright on it.

I remember Mises speaking to an SIL conf in the early 70s, to a group of then young libertarians, some of whom became a bit illustrious in later years.
He wagged a finger at us and said, “You are eating your seed corn…” He was, of course, quite accurate!
All thanks to you guys.
Last night, I bought five more Mises books to supplement the twenty Mises books I bought earlier this month. What better way to celebrate?
Cheers,
Alex Peak
