Mises Institute Videos

This is a compilation of various seminars, speeches, and other videos associated with the Ludwig von Mises Institute, the educational center for Austrian Economics and modern libertarian theory. Most of these videos can also be found on the Mises.org media section, but I've found they are often easier to access on Google Video or YouTube. So for your viewing enjoyment, here they are, with more to come as they become available:
