Redmond David Terrence Weissenberger (July 4, 1975–March 12, 2025) (obituary) passed away last year. From Doug French:
Redmond Weissenberger was the founder of and energy behind Mises Canada, founded March 8, 2011 to spread the teachings of the Austrian School of Economics to Canada. While at the Mises Institute, I began the legal process to start a Mises Canada. I turned over what legal work had been done to Redmond given the lack of interest in the project at the Institute. He quickly carried Mises Canada across the finish line.
At the time, Mises Canada was one of the many Mises Institutes operating in over 20 countries. Its Board included Redmond, Chris Horlacher (Vice-Chairman and Treasurer), Doug French, and Walter Block. Eric Sprott (Sprott Asset Management and Sprott School of Business) was an important donor and supporter.
The mises.ca website has been static for years, but when active its articles were often reprinted on ZeroHedge.com. Mises Canada hosted Rothbard University in 2018 as well as the International Conference of Prices & Markets. David Howden served as editor of Mises Canada’s Prices & Markets, a peer-reviewed academic journal. Weissenberger also hatched the idea to offer Austrian-focused continuing education courses for real estate professionals which were offered at Freedomfest in Las Vegas.
Redmond passed away on March 12th, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. I was notified just last week of Redmond’s death via an email from Chris Horlacher.
Redmond is survived by his children Finn and Piper Weissenberger, his siblings, Daniel Weissenberger and Janet Goodman, and his parents, Sheila Redmond and Ralph Calistro, Henry and Barbara Weissenberger.
Redmond also interviewed me a few times for his podcast.1 I liked him. Very smart, solid on IP, earnest advocate for liberty.
As Doug noted above, Redmond also established, with the help of Doug French, David Howden, and others, the Journal of Prices & Markets. Its archives at both Mises Canada and Mises Institute US are incomplete; we have archived the issues we could find here at PFS, at The Journal of Prices & Markets, Mises Canada (2013–2019).
