Suki I's Journal: Mises Blog shutting down

The Mises blog is shutting down after almost a decade of stellar economic thought and comment. All is not lost, there will be an archive.

The Mises Blog went live on May 5, 2003. Since then, it has hosted 16,647 posts and 234,839 comments and become one of the highest-ranked economics blogs on the internet, thanks to a fantastic slate of authors and an eager, informed, and intelligent community of readers, commentators, and friends. Thanks so much to all of you for making this possible.

As use of the blogosphere, Facebook, Twitter, and similar tools has exploded in the last few years, the need for a large, diverse, and busy group blog hosted at mises.org has diminished. We all have many channels for sharing news and views, and the formal, âoetraditionalâ organizational blog has become a little old fashioned. Therefore weâ(TM)ve decided to close the Mises blog and replace it with smaller, lighter, more focused, streams â" a news feed and a streamlined opinion blog, the Circle Bastiat. The Mises blog archives will remain on the site now and forever.

Thanks again for being part of the Mises community!
