The Francis Wayland Institute

10/01/2005 Mises Wire Laurence M. Vance

The Francis Wayland Institute is now up and running (or at least the website is). The Institute is named after Francis Wayland (1796-1865), the Baptist minister who wrote the free market textbook, The Elements of Political Economy (fourth ed. was 1841). The Francis Wayland Institute is a think tank in the intellectual tradition of Francis Wayland that upholds the ideals of Christianity, liberty, property, and peace. The website is still in its early stages. More information will soon be added about Francis Wayland and the Institute.

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.
