The Austrian Economics Newsletter is the quarterly interview journal
published by the Mises Institute. Each issue spotlights the writings and
research of a scholar or financial journalist who works within the tradition
of the Austrian School.
The AEN began publishing in the Fall of 1977, under the auspices of the
Center for Libertarian Studies, which was then located in New York, New
York. The purpose of the AEN was to provide a forum for Austrian students
and serve as a communication tool for the new movement. The Mises Institute
assumed responsibility for the publication in 1984 and nurtured it to become
the most closely read periodical in the world pertaining exclusively to the
Austrian School.
The AEN began to emphasize reviews, topical pieces, and, most of all, the
extended interview as an effective means of highlighting the newest
contributions of Austrians to the literature. Today, interview subjects are
now chosen from a variety of disciplines to reflect the full influence of
the Austrian tradition.
The AEN that began with Volume 21, the AEN seeks to put on the display the
energy, creativity, and productivity of today's Austrian thinkers, who work
in many fields to bring the insights of the tradition to bear on new issues
of the day. It is a sign of the health and vigor of the Austrian movement
that the list of thinkers slated for interview in the future grows ever
longer. The Austrian Economics Newsletter is available at no charge to
students, faculty, and members on request.
