In October, the Mises Institute hosted our 2023 Supporters
                                                      Summit in Auburn, Alabama . The event featured over 130 friends
                                                      from around the world brought together by a common belief
                                                      in the importance of the ideas of Ludwig von Mises, Murray
                                                      Rothbard, and the great scholars of the Austrian School .

                                                      The theme was the end of the dollar era, a topic inspired by the
                                                      continuing inflationary challenges Americans face at home and
                                                      the growing disillusionment with the dollar abroad . Twelve of the
                                                      Institute’s leading minds talked about the history of money and
                                                      banking in the United States, the threat of central bank digital
                                                      currencies, the global consequences of the Federal Reserve, and
                                                      the potential fallout from the dollar’s decline as a global currency .

                                                      Three courageous voices in the fight for liberty delivered the
                                                      keynote speeches . Dr . Naomi Wolf kicked off the Summit with a
                                                      talk on the horrific consequences of covid tyranny, particularly the
                                                      impact that mRNA vaccines appear to be having on fertility rates .
                                                      David Stockman, former budget director for Ronald Reagan, gave
                                                      a full-throated attack on the American uniparty and the fiscal
                                                      insanity of Washington .

                                                      Finally, Dr . Guido Hülsmann returned to the Mises Institute for the
                                                      first time in several years since covid travel restrictions were lifted
                                                      and spoke on the cultural consequences of the dollar and the
                                                      generational consequences of a debt-saturated economic system .
