The Ludwig von MisesInstitute (LvMI), based in Auburn, Alabama, is a libertarian academic organization engaged in research and scholarship in the fields of economics, philosophy and political economy.
The Ludwig von MisesInstitute was established in 1982 under the direction of Margit von Mises, widow of Ludwig von Mises, who chaired its board until her death in 1993.
The Institute characterizes itself as libertarian and expresses antiwar and non-interventionist positions on American foreign policy, asserting that war is a violation of any rights to life, liberty, and property with destructive effects on the market economy and empowering aspects for government.
This is the Mises family crest, awarded upon the 1881 ennoblement of Ludwig von Mises's great-grandfather Mayer Rachmiel Mises by Franz Joseph I of Austria.
Mises wrote and lectured extensively on behalf of classical liberalism and is seen as one of the leaders of the Austrian School of economics.
