He has been called the 'uncontested dean of the Austrian School of economics'. His theories have influenced such subsequent economists as Friedrich von Hayek, Eric Voegelin, and Murray Rothbard. ..." |

A Guide to the Writings of Ludwig von Mises, by Roy A. Childs, Jr., Dec 1990
"The great social theorist Ludwig von Mises was born one hundred and ten years ago, published the majority of his important works before midcentury, and died nearly twenty years ago, at the end of a staggeringly productive life. ... some people profess to be intimidated by the sheer volume and complexity of his work." |

Ludwig von Mises: Scholar, Creator, Hero, by Murray N. Rothbard, 1988
Related Topics: Banking, Ludwig von Mises Institute, Mont Pelerin Society, Socialism
"It boggles the mind what this extraordinarily productive and creative man was able to accomplish in economic theory and philosophy when down to his mid-50s, his full-time energies were devoted to applied political-economic work. Until middle-age, in short, he could only pursue economic theory and write his extraordinary and influential books and articles, as an overtime leisure activity. What could he have done, and what would the world have gained, if he had enjoyed the leisure that most academics fritter away?" |

Related Topics: Capitalism, Law of Comparative Advantage, Farming, Socialism
"... when Mises appeared, there was virtually no systematic intellectual opposition to socialism or defense of capitalism. Quite literally, the intellectual ramparts of civilization were undefended. What Mises undertook, and which summarizes the essence of his greatness, was to build an intellectual defense of capitalism and thus of civilization." |
Mises on His 125th Anniversary, by Jörg Guido Hülsmann, Mises.org Daily Article, 29 Sep 2006
"'... a mind of genius blended harmoniously with a personality of great sweetness and benevolence. Not once has any of us heard a harsh or bitter word escape from Mises' lips. Unfailingly gentle and courteous, Ludwig Mises was always there to encourage even the slightest signs of productivity or intelligence in his friends and students ...'" |
Money and the Individual, by Murray N. Rothbard, Mises.org Daily Article, 1981
Foreword to Ludwig von Mises's The Theory of Money and Credit
"Ludwig von Mises was a 'third-generation' Austrian, a brilliant student in Böhm-Bawerk's famous graduate seminar at the University of Vienna in the first decade of the twentieth century. Mises's great achievement in The Theory of Money and Credit (published in 1912) was to take the Austrian method and apply it to the one glaring and vital lacuna in Austrian theory: the broad 'macro' area of money and general prices." |

"What if the great Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises were alive -- and put in charge of the Internal Revenue Service. He's subject to today's mandates, laws, regulations, budget, constraints, and political reality. Could Ludwig von Mises make the IRS collect the money while NOT damaging lives -- or the economy?" |

"Anticommunism" versus Capitalism, The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality, 1956
Related Topic: Socialism
Excerpt from part V
"There exists today a sham anticommunist front. ... They make an illusory distinction between communism and socialism and — paradoxically enough — look for a support of their recommendation of noncommunist socialism to the document which its authors called The Communist Manifesto. They think that they have proved their case by employing such aliases for socialism as planning or the welfare state." |

Describes how attempts to equalize incomes and wealth lead to lowered standard of living for the masses and eventually to socialism
"When Marx and Engels in the Communist Manifesto recommended 'a heavy progressive or graduated income tax' and 'abolition of all right of inheritance' ... They were fully aware of the inevitable consequences of these policies. They openly declared that these measures are 'economically untenable' and that they advocated them only ... as a means of bringing about socialism." |

"The doctrine of natural law that inspired the eighteenth century declarations of the rights of man did not imply the obviously fallacious proposition that all men are biologically equal. It proclaimed that all men are born equal in rights and that this equality cannot be abrogated by any man-made law, that it is inalienable or, more precisely, imprescriptible." |

Chapter 1, section 4
"The impulse to live, to preserve one's own life ... is a primal feature of life, present in every living being. However ... man ... can control both his sexual desires and his will to live. He can give up his life when the conditions under which alone he could preserve it seem intolerable. ... To live is for man the outcome of a choice, of a judgment of value." |

Related Topic: Capital Goods
"Capital goods come into existence by saving. ... Civilized man produces tools and intermediary products in the pursuit of long-range designs that finally bring forth results which direct, less time-consuming methods could never have attained, or could have attained only with an incomparably higher expenditure of labor and material factors." |

"Faust concludes with a glorification of productive work; its guiding idea is that only the self‑satisfaction received from rendering useful services to his fellow men can make a man happy; it is a panegyric upon peace, freedom, and—as the Nazis scornfully call it, 'bourgeois'—security." |

Excerpted from chapter 21 of Money, Method, and the Market Process
"What gives to the individuals as much freedom as is compatible with life in society is the operation of the market system. The constitutions and bills of rights do not create freedom. They merely protect the freedom that the competitive economic system grants to the individuals against encroachments on the part of the police power." |

Essay based on chapter XVI of Human Action, by George Koether
"The valuations which result in determination of definite prices are different. Each party attaches a higher value to the good he receives than to that he gives away. The exchange ratio, the price, is not the product of an equality of valuation, but, on the contrary, the product of a discrepancy in valuation." |
