By special request, the Mises Institute will hold its next in-person Mises Book Club, our new program to promote deep reading in Austrian economics, on campus at Oklahoma State University beginning Tuesday, February 6.
In celebration of the 80th anniversary of F. A. Hayek's Road to Serfdom, this classic work in political philosophy, intellectual and cultural history, and economics will be the focus of the next meeting.
For eight riveting weeks, ten to fifteen specially selected students will partake in rich discussions led by Dr. Richard Gajan of Oklahoma State University. The club will meet every Tuesday evening from 5-6 p.m. central time, and students will receive complimentary hard copies of the book. Students will come away with a stronger understanding of individual freedom and the threat of totalitarianism.
If you are interested at holding a Mises-sponsored book club on your campus, please contact Felicia Jones ([email protected]) with inquires.
Special thanks to the Dean and Cam Williams Foundation for sponsoring this event.

Arkansas’ Attack on Chinese-Owned Property Is Reckless and Crony-Driven
2023-11-28
Citing national security concerns, Arkansas ordered Chinese company Syngenta to sell off the 160 acres of farmland it owns in the state. The national security concerns are, as will be demonstrated, bogus; however, there may be more crony motivations for this order as well.
An article of mine published in July 2023 by the Libertarian Institute addresses these national security concerns. Walter Block also recently published a piece examining the issue. As it turns out, China owns hardly any farmland in the United States, composing 0.03 percent of total farmland “privately” owned in the US.
Additionally, if China were to use the land for strategic purposes, the US government would not hesitate to seize it. If anything, Chinese land in the US signals a commitment to peace rather than conflict.
