An entire generation of students has been taught to accept efficient market theory (EMT) as gospel.  They have learned about investing in securities in an academic environment that rejects fundamental analysis.  With the Austrian School of economics as his starting point, Frank Shostak has begun the process of reexamining EMT.  Applying arbitrage and the historical record of Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffet to EMT would continue this process of critical examination.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
