Ludwig von Mises Institute in Sweden

The Ludwig von Mises Institute in Sweden (Swedish: Ludwig von Mises-Institutet i Sverige, often shortened to Mises Sweden) is a Swedish libertarian think tank founded in 2009 by Joakim Fagerström and Joakim Kämpe. It describes itself as "Sweden's most libertarian think tank" and as a center for Austrian economics and libertarian philosophy. Its stated mission is captured in its slogan: "Against the state, for peace, freedom and property rights." The organization is modeled on the American Ludwig von Mises Institute (founded 1982) and the Brazilian Mises Institute (founded 2007), and it forms part of an international network of Mises-affiliated institutes that promote the Austrian School of economics. The institute produces articles, radio programs and educational content through its website mises.se, and its representatives have published opinion pieces in Swedish media outlets such as SVT Debate, Expressen and Newsmill. Its members give lectures on economics and libertarianism at events in Sweden and abroad, including at the Stockholm School of Economics, the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. It has also organized training days in Stockholm, such as the Mises Circle at the Stockholm City Museum and the independent Freedomfest event at the Royal Coin Cabinet. Politically and economically, the institute advocates a radical libertarian position. It opposes central banks, intellectual property and military intervention, and promotes private property and voluntary associations as the basis of a free society. Its website features introductory material on Austrian economics — described as a science of how people act, how prosperity is created and how the state destroys it — and on libertarianism, presented as a moral philosophy holding that the initiation of force against others is wrong, even when the perpetrator is the state. The institute publishes commentary on current economic affairs, including critiques of inflation, central banking and economic freedom indices. As a think tank rather than a commercial company, the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Sweden operates as a non-profit intellectual organization. It is not publicly listed and does not sell products in the conventional sense; its "offerings" are publications, lectures, educational programs and media content. It remains active, with its website serving as the primary platform for its articles and outreach.

The Ludwig von Mises Institute in Sweden was founded in 2009 by Joakim Fagerström and Joakim Kämpe. It was established as a Swedish counterpart to the American Ludwig von Mises Institute (founded in 1982) and the Brazilian Mises Institute (founded in 2007), part of a broader international movement to spread the ideas of the Austrian School of economics and libertarian philosophy. The institute describes itself as "Sweden's most libertarian think tank" and a center for Austrian economics and libertarian philosophy, with the motto "Against the state, for peace, freedom and property rights." From its early years, the organization focused on publishing texts and radio programs on its website, and its representatives contributed articles to Swedish media such as SVT Debate, Expressen and Newsmill. Its members have lectured on economics and libertarianism at events in Sweden and other countries, including the Stockholm School of Economics, the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. The institute has also organized training days in Stockholm, such as the Mises Circle at the Stockholm City Museum and the independent Freedomfest event at the Royal Coin Cabinet. The institute's ideological stance is explicitly libertarian: it opposes central banks, intellectual property and military intervention, and promotes a society based on private property and voluntary associations. Its website offers introductory material on Austrian economics — described as a science of how people act, how prosperity is created and how the state destroys it — and on libertarianism, presented as a moral philosophy that rejects the initiation of force, even by the state. It regularly publishes commentary on economic policy, including critiques of inflation and assessments of Sweden's ranking in the Index of Economic Freedom. As of the 2020s, the institute remains active, with its website serving as its main platform for articles, radio content and educational outreach. It continues to be part of the international network of Mises-affiliated institutes.
