Douglas E. French

Douglas E. French is president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute. He received his master's degree under the direction of Murray N. Rothbard at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, after many years in the business of banking.

He was a major supporter of the Mises Institute in the years leading up to assuming the position of president of the Mises Institute in 2009. His dramatic expansion priorities include development in every area of the Mises Institute's educational mission, online and at our physical location.

He is the author of two books, Early Speculative Bubbles and Increases in the Supply of Money, the first major empirical study of the relationship between early bubbles and the money supply, and Walk Away, a monograph assessing the philosophy and morality of strategic default. He teaches in the Mises Academy and writes regularly for the Mises Daily.
