For the first time, the Mises Institute will return to the origins of our intellectual project, with a conference co-sponsored by the Juan de Mariana Institute in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the publication of one of the great books of the period, Juan de Mariana's treatise on The Alteration of Money. The Mariana Institute was founded by former Mises Fellow, Gabriel Calzada.

Mariana was Murray Rothbard's favorite scholastic author and the conference will look at the history of money and the current economic crisis. In addition to being the Birthplace of Economics, Salamanca is also a World Heritage Site and a European Capital of Culture.
