The booming ASC

The booming ASC

Many people have wondered about the Austrian Scholars Conference, the trend line and general health, which might be considered a good barometer of the health and well being of the Austrian School generally.

Well, after years of enjoying a fairly stable attendance, this year, it is going to set all records. We are looking at having more than 150 people here, which, if you have been to the Mises Institute, means that we are going to be stretched to capacity. This is ideal and very exciting for us.

Maybe the explanation is the program itself, which looks really great.

But it also reflects an dramatic increase in the numbers of students and professors interested in Austrian-specific research. If you haven't made your arrangements to come, please do so now. At some point, we will have to start turning people away.

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.
