Having completed a remarkable summer of learning, with students from all over the world coming to Auburn to learn, the Mises Institute now begins its Fall season with a full lineup of online classes at the Mises Academy (http://mises.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bf16b152ccc444bdbbcc229e4&id=1f9fee98ac&e=19d48fc938).
This cutting-edge learning environment provides a fully interactive classroom, with live sessions, as well as quizzes, grading, transcripts and more. There is plenty of student interaction, and even opportunities for socializing. One wonders how the physical classroom of expensive brick-and-mortar universities can compete!
The reviews from the Spring and Summer classes have been so spectacular that we’ve pushed into new areas for this Fall.
Beginning August 24 - The Economics of Private Legal and Defense Services (http://mises.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bf16b152ccc444bdbbcc229e4&id=0a37fd1870&e=19d48fc938) taught by Robert Murphy
Beginning September 6 - The New Deal: History, Economics and Law (http://mises.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bf16b152ccc444bdbbcc229e4&id=584528a077&e=19d48fc938) taught by Thomas Woods
Beginning September 7 - Principles of Economics (http://mises.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=bf16b152ccc444bdbbcc229e4&id=b8d24bd22e&e=19d48fc938) taught by Robert Murphy
Beginning September 16 - Freedom Versus Authority: Europe 1789-1945 (http://mises.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=bf16b152ccc444bdbbcc229e4&id=962c7f3857&e=19d48fc938) taught by David Gordon
Beginning September 20 - The Political Economy of War (http://mises.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bf16b152ccc444bdbbcc229e4&id=ce6ef4c10a&e=19d48fc938) taught by Thomas DiLorenzo
The first to begin is Robert Murphy’s class, which explores one of the most controversial areas of libertarian theory. He applies the logic of private property and markets to issues of security, defense, courts, legal disputes, and other areas. In practical terms, he explains how markets are better than the state at providing for all services that society needs. There is no question that this will be a challenging course. It will be a learning experience for everyone.

Next to open is Thomas Woods’s course on the New Deal. He examines the critical period of American history from the stock market crash of 1929 to the end of World War II, focusing on domestic affairs. Topics include: the 1920s boom and bust, the Hoover record in light of recent scholarship, the New Deal programs and agencies, the evolution of the Supreme Court, international parallels, political and intellectual opposition to FDR, and the economic consequences of World War II. Readings include primary documents, works by contemporaries, and recent scholarship and commentary. As Woods says, it is crucial that everyone develop mastery over the subject, reversing the misinformation that has been around for many decades.

See an interview with Woods on this class and the Academy (http://mises.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bf16b152ccc444bdbbcc229e4&id=e6312e77a4&e=19d48fc938)
Next to open is Robert Murphy’s class on the Principles of Economics, designed around his new textbook for high-school students. The class is for high-school students, but it is the ideal class for anyone who wants to gain a solid foundation in economic science. The focus is on the Austrian understanding. The knowledge gained will establish a rock-solid basis for all future studies in economics. The goal is to present economics in the same way that it was given to Mises, Hayek, and Rothbard early in their schooling, a paradigm to inspire a lifetime of understanding and scholarship. No prior exposure to economic logic is required. Students may opt out of quizzes, tests, and grading.
He will cover: Thinking Like an Economist, How We Develop Economic Principles, Economic Concepts Implied by Action, “Robinson Crusoe” Economics, The Institution of Private Property, Direct Exchange & Barter Prices, Indirect Exchange and the Appearance of Money, The Division of Labor & Specialization, Entrepreneurship & Competition, Income, Saving, and Investment, Supply & Demand, Interest, Credit, and Debt, Profit & Loss Accounting, The Stock Market, The Failures of Socialism—Theory and History.
There are also classes by David Gordon and Thomas DiLorenzo, about which more in a later email.
The Mises Academy has been an astonishing success in the sort period of time it has been open. Many students have said that it points the way forward for learning in the digital age.
