Austrian economists Henry Hazlett (”Economics In One Lesson”) and Hayek (”Road to Serfdom”) should be required reading for all high school students in the United States.
Asking them to take on Mises right out of the chute might be a bit much . . . but I’d be perfectly OK with making all college students spend a couple of semesters studying “Human Action” as a requirement for graduation.
Very few schools in this country teach the Economic ideas of Ludwig Von Mises anymore. I can only think of two colleges in the USA who teach him seriously — Grove City College and Hillsdale. This is the Austrian School of Economics.
The post-1938 personal economic papers of Ludwig Von Mises are housed in the archive of Grove City College.
ETA, New York University does have a course on Austrian Economics ( since Mises used to teach there ), but I don’t think they emphasize it.
It’s a shame because his ideas ought to be taken seriously. Instead, we are exposed to Keynesianism and guys like Paul Krugman are still being given a hearin
And instead high school kids get Michael Moore & Algor, and college students are fed Noam Chomsky.
What a world we live in.
