Mises Institute

Books by Rainer Zitelmann and Ludwig von Mises examining why some countries are rich and others poor have been presented in Ukraine. The presentation, highlighted by Amplify Ukraine, frames the discussion around economic freedom and the institutional factors behind prosperity, a topic with obvious resonance for a country rebuilding its economy during wartime.

The Mises Institute is hosting a Mises Circle event in Boise, Idaho, focused on the links between monetary policy, money manipulation and war. The gathering brings together supporters of the Austrian economics think tank for discussions on how government control of currency is connected to military spending and conflict. Further details about speakers or attendance were not available.

A new commentary from the Mises Institute pushes back against claims that frugal retirees are weakening economic growth by spending too little. The argument challenges the idea that pensioner thrift is a drag on demand, countering a narrative that has circulated in economic commentary about aging populations hoarding savings rather than consuming.
