Mises Wiki Revived as The Austrian Economics Wiki

by Stephan Kinsella on July 24, 2026

The Mises Institute used to have a very useful feature, the Mises Wiki (archive), but like many aspects of Mises.org since Jeff Tucker and Doug French left, it has fallen into desuetude.¹

As noted in this Facebook post, David Veksler as revived it at his site, freecapitalists.org, as The Austrian Economics Wiki: “A free encyclopedia of Austrian economics and the libertarian tradition.” Heroic!

As David writes in his post:

The Mises Wiki was one of the best open references for Austrian economics anywhere.

You probably assumed it was dead. The original is still online, but login and editing have been broken since 2014 — after the Mises Institute rebuilt mises.org that year and dropped the wiki, the project we all built was left to rot.

This matters more than it did in 2014. Reference sites aren’t just read by people anymore — they’re training data. What the open web says about Austrian economics is what the next generation of AI models will say about it.
So I’ve restored it. The full February 2014 corpus — 1,400+ articles — is back and running independently at: https://wiki.freecapitalists.org/

It runs on my own infrastructure, so no institution can take it down or let it decay again. Your contributions are all there, with full revision history, still attributed to you.

If you want back in, it takes one step: reset your password. Your old account is intact, and the reset link will reach you at the address this email was sent to: https://wiki.freecapitalists.org/wiki/Special:PasswordReset

Then fix the entry that always bugged you, or write the one that was never there.

It’s been a decade. Let’s make it worth reading again.
