Lew Rockwell on How the Koch Brothers Reacted to His Launching of the Mises Institutre

Lew writes:

After I asked Margit, Mises’s widow, for her blessing–which she gladly gave–I asked Murray to oversee our academic affairs. Even though the Institute was just a typewriter on my kitchen table at that point, he literally clapped his hands in glee. Also essential to the Institute’s success were Ron Paul, Henry Hazlitt, and other giants. I should note that the Kochs have always been anti-Mises Institute–they even had one of their executives order me not to start it!–though they are anti-Rothbard above all.
