Editor of Austrian Economics

Jeffrey Tucker was born on January 3, 1966, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He studied English Literature at Loyola University New Orleans and later went on to pursue graduate studies in economics and the history of economic thought. Tucker is widely recognized as a libertarian economist, author, and public speaker who has significantly contributed to the Austrian School of economics and free-market advocacy.

Tucker has had a notable career as an editor and publisher, having worked for the Ludwig von Mises Institute, where he served as the editor of the Institute’s online journal. He is also known for his work as the founder of the site “The Tenth Amendment Center”, which advocates for states’ rights, and as the chief liberty officer of Liberty.me, an online platform dedicated to promoting free markets and individual liberty. Tucker’s work spans economics, political philosophy, and technology, with a strong emphasis on the intersection of Austrian economics and the digital age.

His influential book, “Bourbon for Breakfast: Living Outside the Statist Quo”, is a memoir and a collection of essays, reflecting on his personal journey in libertarian thought and offering insights into the principles of voluntary cooperation, non-aggression, and economic freedom. Tucker has also written extensively on the role of technology in advancing liberty, with works like “The Market for Liberty”, where he argues that the state has stifled the free-market innovations that could have brought about more prosperity and freedom for people.

In addition to his books, Tucker is an active public speaker and columnist, contributing articles to outlets like The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), The Wall Street Journal, and The Huffington Post. He often addresses the challenges of central banking, monetary policy, and government regulation, advocating for a world where markets and individual liberty are central to the prosperity of society.
