Huerta de Soto is an adjunct scholar with the Ludwig von Mises Institute, a member of the Foundation Board of the Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies (IMDEA) Social Sciences, the Mont Pelerin Society, the editorial board of the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics and the Society for the Study of Human Action. He also works closely with the Juan de Mariana Institute in Madrid.
