Dean Russel was a member of the staff of The Foundation for Economic Education, where he wrote for The Freeman, promoted the work of Ludwig von Mises, and translated the writings of Frédéric Bastiat.
Ludwig von Mises: "The main achievement of economics is that it has provided a theory of peaceful human cooperation. This is why the harbingers of violent conflict have branded it as a dismal science and why this age of wars, civil wars, and destruction has no use for it." - Economic Freedom and Interventionism
