6 Pursue the Cause of Liberty
Let me tell you: the work of the
Mises Institute is crucial. This is
important. This is more important
than all political action. We have
to change people’s hearts and
minds, and their understanding
of free markets and individual
liberty. That’s how we
change the world.
—Ron Paul, at the
30th Anniversary of the
Ludwig von Mises Institute
