Hoppe Removed as Mises Institute Senior Distinguished Fellow

From HansHoppe.com

This is April 1, but this is not an April Fool’s Day joke (I despise April Fool’s Day jokes).

In response to “Mises Institute: Quo Vadis?,” Property and Freedom Journal (March 25, 2026), Professor Hoppe has been removed as a Distinguished Senior Fellow (~2000–2026) with the Ludwig von Mises Institute, as indicated in the following email exchange. Hans was appointed Senior Fellow early in his association with the Mises Institute, which began when he moved to the US to study with Rothbard in 1985, and elevated to Distinguished Senior Fellow around 2000 or so. Hans remains the only person to have ever received this distinction from the Mises Institute; it now has no one with this designation. ¹

In response to all this, Hans asked me to post this image:

Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito!

Roderick Long on Facebook:

Hans Hoppe, Walter Block, and I are examples of three people unfellowed by the Mises Institute for three completely different and indeed incompatible sets of ideological reasons.

comment: “As Nathan Goodman reminds me, the Mises Institute still lists me as a senior fellow on *my* page. However, I’m not on the page that lists senior fellows. This is really indicative of the failure to keep the website adequately updated. Whatever Jeff Tucker’s failings, he was the one who held the website together, and website management went straight to hell after he left.”

Daniel Bastiat he still does, as far as I can tell.

Nathan Goodman Daniel Bastiat Although Kinsella’s views are closer to Hoppe’s views than I’d like, they’re mostly better. It seems to me that it’s more a matter of personal loyalty than of ideological affinity.
