My career and books, The Objective Standard and its sixteen years of publication, Objective Standard Institute and all of its programs and activities, the many people I have mentored and taught over the years—all of this was made possible by my good friend, mentor, and cofounder of this journal, Sidney J. Gunst Jr.

Objective Standard Institute had a highly productive 2021, teaching numerous courses, producing 109 podcast episodes, hosting TOS-Con 2021 with hundreds of attendees, and much more.

In his TOS-Con presentation, “Bitcoin as a Freeway to Freedom,” Wolf von Laer, CEO of Students For Liberty, will explain the fundamentals of Bitcoin, how it differs from other crypto-projects, and why he sees Bitcoin as a vital tool in the fight for free markets and limited government.

The main-stage program for TOS-Con 2022: Philosophy for Freedom and Flourishing has been posted, and it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen.
