Aims to support the achievement of a freer society by discovering and facilitating the development of talented, productive students, scholars, and other intellectuals who share an interest in liberty and who demonstrate the potential to help change the current climate of opinion to one more congenial to the principles and practice of freedom.

Libertarian International The Netherlands - "Network of liberty-minded individuals and organizations"
Ludwig von Mises Institute

U.S.A. - The Ludwig von Mises Institute is the research and educational center of classical liberalism, libertarian political theory, and the Austrian School of economics. The institute was founded by "anti-state, anti-war, pro-market" Llewellyn H. Rockwell in 1982. The institute has had the support of Margit von Mises, who chaired the board until her death in 1993, and such giants as F.A. Hayek, Lawrence Fertig, Henry Hazlitt, and Murray N. Rothbard, who headed its academic programs until his death in 1995. The institute says that it "...has grown into the leading scholarly center for research and teaching in the Austrian School of economics, as well as an important research center for classical liberalism and libertarianism." The "as well as" is important, because Ludwig von Mises was not, in his day, considered to be a libertarian (it was not a term then commonly used to refer to Capitalists of the day), and it could be argued that Mises would not have embraced libertarianism today (for example, its rejection of a moral code). That said, his economic ideas are cherished by some libertarians, and have seriously influenced the economic views of founder Lew Rockwell and Anarcho-Capitalist spearhead Murray Rothbard, both of whom are properly referred to as libertarians.

The Ludwig von Mises has taken over responsibility for publishing the Journal of Libertarian Studies. The journal is edited by anarcho-capitalist/libertarian Professor Hans-Hermann Hoppe.

Reason Foundation

U.S.A. - runs the Reason Public Policy Institute and publishes Reason magazine. "Through Reason Public Policy Institute, with its emphasis on empirical results, practical innovation, and a burgeoning national reputation," the Reason Foundation says, "we get new policy ideas implemented." It adds that "through Reason Magazine, with its growing and increasingly influential audience, we shape public opinion in favor of individual liberty in all areas of human activity."

 

LIBERTARIAN POLITICAL PARTIES

Libertarian Party

Federal political party committed to "individual liberty and personal responsibility, a free-market economy of abundance and prosperity, and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade". Comprised of both Anarcho-Capitalists and Minarchists, the party's commitment to free-market economics renders it incompatible with collectivist libertarianism.
