Ludwig von Mises Institute Brazil,[1] simply Mises Brazil Institute, or abbreviated IMB,[1] is a Brazilian think tank[2] promoting libertarian[3][4] ideas, focused on "the production and dissemination of economic and social science studies that promote the principles of the free market and a free society."[5]
The institute officially follows the method of promoting the ideas of the Austrian School, to which the economist Ludwig von Mises belonged. However, some argue that the institute tends towards a "more radical perspective" of liberal ideas, "leaning more towards the ideas of the American anarcho-capitalist philosopher Murray Rothbard than towards the work of the Austrian economist after whom the institution is named."[6]
Despite the existence of the Ludwig von Mises Institute in the United States, IMB is not subordinate to it.[clarification needed] In April 2018, the Mises Brazil Institute was considered by Forbes the most influential non-U.S. liberal think tank on social media for the fourth consecutive year.[7][8][9][not in citation given]
Structure[edit]
IMB is headquartered in São Paulo, in Itaim Bibi.[1] The organization consists of two sovereign boards, one administrative and one fiscal, with the former electing the board of directors. The board of directors is chaired by Hélio Coutinho Beltrão.
Events[edit]
Austrian School Conference[edit]
In 2010, IMB organized the I Austrian School Economics Seminar. The lectures took place on April 11 and 12 in Porto Alegre.[10] Among the speakers were foreign economists such as Lew Rockwell, Joseph Salerno, Mark Thornton, and Thomas Woods, as well as David Friedman (son of Milton Friedman) and Patri Friedman (son of David). Brazilian representatives included Ubiratan Iorio, Rodrigo Constantino, Fábio Barbieri, and Antony Mueller.[11] The media described the seminar as "an even more liberal view"[12] and a "defense of ultraliberalism."[13]
The II Austrian School Seminar took place in April 2011, also in Porto Alegre, with the main figure being the North American libertarian thinker Hans-Hermann Hoppe.
The III Austrian School Seminar took place on May 12 and 13, 2012, in São Paulo, at the Fecomércio building. The event was renamed the Austrian School Conference by its organizers. Prominent international figures participated in the event, such as Peter Schiff and Walter Block.[14]
The IV Seminar took place in September 2014, on the occasion of the institute's invitation to Republican former candidate Ron Paul.[15]
During the 2016 Freedom Forum, promoted by IEE, President Hélio Coutinho Beltrão announced the realization of the V Austrian School Conference, scheduled for the first semester of 2017. The V Austrian School Conference took place on May 12 and 13, 2017, in São Paulo, at the Higienópolis Campus of Mackenzie Presbyterian University. The event featured national and international speakers, such as Stephan Kinsella, Yuri Maltsev, Andy Duncan, Paulo Scarano, Leandro Roque, Hélio Beltrão, Fernando Ulrich, Adriano Gianturco, Fabio Barbieri, Bruno Garschagen, among others.[16]
Education[edit]
In August 2016, the institute's new Chief Operating Officer, Geanluca Lorenzon, publicly announced that the institute's new strategic focus would be education and academic activities.[17] Since then, the institute has launched a postgraduate course in Austrian School economics, extension courses, and a North American-style summer school. The President of the institute, Hélio Marcos Coutinho Beltrão, has mentioned on multiple occasions the intention of one day seeing IMB become a university.
Extension Courses[edit]
The Mises Brazil Institute has already held two editions of the Extension Course in Business Action and Investments under the Austrian School in partnership with Mackenzie in São Paulo.[18]
In 2019, IMB partnered with Instituto Millenium and launched an extension course called "Economics in One Day," taught by economist Fernando Ulrich. The course aims to introduce participants to basic economic concepts from a liberal perspective.[19]
Postgraduate Course[edit]
In 2020, the IMB announced its partnership with Rio Branco Integrated Colleges to offer the first postgraduate course in Austrian School economics in Brazil. The course aims to train specialists in the Austrian School's economic methodology, providing students with a solid theoretical foundation and analytical tools based on the principles of praxeology and free market economics.[20]
Summer School[edit]
In January 2021, the Mises Brazil Institute launched its first Summer School, inspired by similar programs offered by the Mises Institute in the United States. The summer school is a week-long intensive program that offers courses, lectures, and workshops on Austrian economics and related topics. The goal is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the Austrian School's economic principles and their application to real-world issues.[21]
Academic Journal[edit]
"MISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law, and Economics" (ISSN 2318-0811) is a periodical aimed at introducing into academic debate, in appropriate language, the important reflections of classic authors from the Austrian School.[22] According to the Institute, the journal is an interdisciplinary scientific publication of the Ludwig von Mises Institute Brazil, strictly academic and with a biannual frequency.[23] The journal is currently in its sixth edition.[24]

Awards[edit]
Offered[edit]
In 2009, the 1st IMB Article Award was created. The awards were courses promoted by the Mises Institute. The award categories were: Best Article and Major Contribution, won respectively by Joel Pinheiro da Fonseca and Juliano Torres.[25]
Received[edit]
During the XXIII Freedom Forum, the Libertas Award was presented to the president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute Brazil, Hélio Beltrão Filho.[26]
Political Positioning[edit]
The Institute officially denies having any political position, rejecting both right-wing and left-wing thought.[27] Nevertheless, a part of the press identifies it with a right-wing political stance, either because of its position on defending economic liberalism, or because a significant part of defenders of right-wing political thought in Brazil admire either the Institute or the figure who inspired its name.[28][29][30][31]
Controversies[edit]
Dispute over the Mises Brazil brand[edit]
Currently[clarification needed (when?)] the Mises Brazil brand is in dispute between the current maintainers of the Institute and a group of founders who disagree with their actions. The brand awaits registration with the National Institute of Industrial Property[32] and an alternative address points to the supposed new website of the Institute which published a note about the change in the Institute's board. The board of the Institute, in a note, denies the proclaimed changes.
Dispute with founders[edit]
In April 2016, the former director, Fernando Fiori Chiocca, sued the Mises Brazil Institute in order to distance himself from the new direction imposed by the administration of the President after his departure at the end of 2014.[33]
