Economists and historians tell the story of the "Last Knight of Liberalism", economist Ludwig von Mises. Learn more at misesvsmarx.aier.org

Jeff, Mises did not keep the "von". He signed his letters in America as "Ludwig Mises" as far as I remember.

True, same with Hayek. After the great war it was illegal for Austrians to use von in their name, but when they went to the US and Hayek earlier to the UK, based on their birth certificate the english and the americans continued to call them von Hayek and von Mises despite they themselves not using it.

Da muss ich also Mises-Kenner (beschäftige mich seit meiner Jugendzeit, also seit ca. 40 Jahren mit Mises und seinen Werken und bin beruflich ebenso - als Unternehmensberater - mit Ökonomie beschäftigt) jedoch folgendes klarstellen: Mises sieht in seiner Praxeologie eine apriorische Wissenschaft und keine empirische Wissenschaft. Die Praxeologie von Mises ist durchaus vergleichbar der Logik oder auch der Mathematik mit dem einzigen wesentlichen Unterschied, dass sich die Praxeologie der unumkehrbare "Zeitkomponente" (historische Zeit) bedient und sich zwar auf die Wirklichkeit bezieht (begrifflich und vollinhaltlich), diese Wirklichkeit jedoch aufgrund unendlich vieler Einflussgrößen sich jedoch einer empirischen Untersuchung entzieht. Ich würde so sagen: Man benötigt die Mises´sche Ökonomie zum Klären der Gedanken und zum Klären von Zusammenhängen; sie ist sozusagen die Vorstufe zu einer möglicherweise empirischen Wissenschaft, die jedoch aus Mises´scher Sicht nicht Ökonomie sein kann. Denn Ökonomie ist die "Logik des Handels" und das nicht nur wirtschaftlicher Natur, sondern allem menschlichen Handelns.

[@johnshelkop9442]

It takes sound, principled people to further this brilliant ideology. As long as there is state governance, i.e., an apparatus which cannot exist without placing limits, and in many cases oppression, upon the human race, applied Austrian Economics will continue to be only a seed. The challenge will be how do we who desire to be truly free cultivate this seed?

My notes, - 5:00 "how do you set the direction?" "which durection are we going to?" "who decide it" After relinquishing the thing that enabled us to set direction, in order to avoid making the wrong direction that consequently to pain and suffering, how then we make the right decision after we relinquish our faculty of making decision? How are we going to feel good if we disbanded our organ that enabled us to feel in order for us to avoid feeling pain? The absurdity of the Satanic proposal, satanic logic, Marxist, Socialist, Communist. That thing - value common denominator, needed to make rational decision. The tool to help making decision of hierarchy of trend, urgency that will respect everyone's sovereignty, not violating anyone's rights. Gin,

Mises was never the Chief Economist for the University of Vienna. He was Chief Economist for the Austrian Chamber of Commerce. He was never given a full-time academic post at the University of Vienna, not because he was Jewish, but because the University asked the Jewish community first and they did not like Mises, so they opposed him being hired.

Although a lot of what mises said was correct there is a huge failure in his theory. -there has to be regulation the rub is for said regulation to not eliminate capitalist effectiveness. Example the housing dumpster fire of 2008. The market did not self regulate well it was garbage. So I reject complete laisse faire ideology just don’t know what the correct amount of regulation is or should be.

[@bensupit8991]

GFC was caused by government creating a state-backed monopoly in the credit market, which they then forced to make loans to risky borrowers. At the same time, interest rates were kept low for a while and therefore bad investments began accumulating. This all burst as bad borrowers began defaulting. None of this is the central fault of the free market, it was the fault of government.

[@jeffblackard9753]

@@bensupit8991 I didn’t blame it on the free market and do concur the government was greatly at fault example providing loans to people who were dishwashers for $500k because it had been argued by black supremacist that not enough black people owned homes in America. My point was / is that complete laisse faire doesn’t work rather mild / moderate levels of governance are required as argued by Milton Friedman. Example I enter into an agreement to get a house built of true highest quality. Everything seems great BUT in order to save money the contractor uses asbestos BUT doesn’t tell me.

I tried to read money and credit. He's so long winded and indirect. His sentences are too convoluted. I couldn't get through more than a few chapters. Nobody has time for this. He could have been more direct and "economical" and reduced it to 33% at least. I'm in a reading kick. I want knowledge and understand and wisdom. I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and do the hard math. I'm not book shy but I really wish he would just be more direct and make his points, give me the takeaways because I probably won't finish it.

Funny that a Jew would support fascism. Mises wrote in the 1927 book: "It cannot be denied that Fascism and similar movements aiming at the establishment of dictatorships are full of the best intentions and that their intervention has, for the moment, saved European civilization". I know that he didn't like imperialism - but if he really understood capitalism he would have known that the very nature and heart of capitalism is greed, winner take all, absolute monopoly mentality - in other words, everything that impedes the progress of the human soul. Capitalism privatises profits and socialises debt and if left unchecked will take humanity back to the sword and sandal days at best.

This reminds me of Sinclair's "the jungle" when it comes to unregulated free market. Capitalism at that point looks like communism. What's the point of exchanging supplies if it's tainted, damaged, etc? Everyone gets screwed. Poor people in America already have a taste of communism. It's called food pantries, clothes donation, vouchers, etc. You are confined to only living in certain places and have your income capped. But ironically it's capitalism that created it by not keeping wages up with production and reinvestment in the company's workers rather than stock buy backs. Companies already don't pay corporate tax so why is it the same amount that would have gone to corporate tax not reflected in salary expenses? There's only so much advertising for a product will do especially if that product is doing more harm than good. You don't have to degrade and dumb down the masses to sell something, but only if you knew it was shit to begin with.
