ABSTRACT
The paper aims to discuss neoliberal think tanks’ role in higher education from the case study of the Mises Brasil Institute (IMB). In general, think tanks aim to cultivate and disseminate neoliberal thought. In the last fifteen years, they have been intensifying their performance in higher education and academia. The study mapped how these think tanks act in these fields, discussing the case of the Mises Brasil Institute. The IMB has been creating a research community around the Austrian School of Economics and trying to influence the teaching, research, and extension.
