Gennady Stolyarov II Wins Third Prize at 2008 Mises University Oral Examination
I have just returned from a rigorous week at Mises University, hosted by the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama. I attended over 35 lectures and discussion groups by such notable thinkers as Robert Murphy, Walter Block, Hans-Hermann Hoppe, George Reisman, and many others. I also passed a series of extremely challenging written and oral examinations on Austrian economic theory and its implications. I made my way into the final oral exam session, where six contestants were questioned in sequence by over a dozen professors sitting around a conference table. They chose to award me the George and Joelle Eddy Prize for third place – a nice $500 bonus to my trip. In addition, Mises University awards scholarships covering tuition and room/board for qualified attendees. The experience was intense, rigorous, and highly immersive. I spent virtually all my time brushing up on the finer points of Austrian theory. I think that all the effort was certainly worth it, and I would recommend attending Mises University to those who have an interest in delving more deeply into Austrian economics and free-market thought.
Sincerely,
Gennady Stolyarov II
