Gee, where could the Von Mises loons find an academic home? Could it be Auburn? Look for the Ayn Rand lawn ornaments.

Oh, Gee, again—Koch family money involvement:

(Wiki)
The Ludwig von Mises Institute 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. Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr is the founder, a former president and currently the chairman (since 2009); Douglas French is the current president. The late economist Murray Rothbard was a major influence on the Institute’s activities and served as its academic vice president until his death in 1995. Among others, Friedrich von Hayek, Lawrence Fertig, and Henry Hazlitt also assisted in both its construction and continued scholarly development.[10]

Some controversy surrounds its creation and the Koch Family Foundations throughout the 1980s.[11] The ensuing ideology-driven drama created a rift between the Mises Institute and organizations like the Cato Institute, whose members had been staunch allies throughout the 1970s and early 1980s.[12]

Taking a break.
