Vision:

At the Carl Menger Institute, we envision the flourishing of economic science—free from politics, ideology, and moral zealotry.

A discipline grounded in sound epistemology, clear methodology, and the reality of human action.

A world awakened to the truth that freedom of will—unleashing the creative individual—is the surest path to expanding the means by which all people may fulfill their diverse desires.

Where voluntary exchange transforms human difference and subjective preference into mutual benefit, and the free market stands recognized as humanity’s greatest instrument of peace, prosperity, and coordination.

Mission:

We share insight into human nature—not dogma.

Our academic program guides a new generation of thinkers to be able to dismantle economic fallacies; reject interventionist myths; and promote a social order that unleashes creativity, expands individual choice, and accelerates the growth of knowledge.

Rather than lament the failures of academia, we transform it into something truer, freer, and more human.

History:

Founded in 2024 by Prof. Daron Djerdjian, Ethan Akimoto, and Peter Vartanian, the Menger Institute builds upon the intellectual legacy of Austrian Economist Carl Menger to illuminate market phenomena through the lens of praxeonomy. Later that year, the Institute launched its diploma program in market economics, Menger Academy.
