	Ludwig von Mises Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ludwig von Mises Institute (LvMI), based in Auburn, Alabama, is a libertarian academic organisation engaged in research and scholarship in the fields of economics, philosophy and political economy.
		The Ludwig von Mises Institute was established in 1982 under the direction of Margit von Mises, widow of Ludwig von Mises, who chaired its board until her death in 1993.
		The institute characterizes itself as libertarian and expresses antiwar and anti-interventionist positions on American foreign policy, asserting that war is a violation of any rights to life, liberty and property with destructive effects on the market economy and empowering aspects for government.

		Ludwig von Mises was born on September 29, 1881, in the city of Lemberg,2 then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, where his father, Arthur Edler von Mises, a distinguished construction engineer working for the Austrian railroads, was stationed temporarily.
		Never would Ludwig von Mises bend to the winds of change that he saw to be unfortunate and disastrous; neither changes in political economy nor in the discipline of economics could bring him to swerve a single iota from pursuing and propounding the truth as he saw it.
		Mises would pour forth an endless stream of fascinating anecdotes and insights, and we well knew that in those anecdotes and in the very aura and person of Ludwig von Mises we were all seeing an embodiment of the Old Vienna of a far nobler and more charming day.

	Ludwig von Mises, Method, Money, and the Market
		Ludwig von Mises was born in the Ukraine in 1881.
		Mises began to develop his grand theory on economic epistemology, wherein he contended that economics was an "a priori" consideration and thus did not lend itself to the a posteriori method of scientific analysis.
		Mises was first to point out that econometric (read:"Keynesian") analyses could not knowingly account for the hyper-inflation of the German economy after the first world war since statistizing cannot fathom the fact that many of the the human actors were out of work mainly due to malnutrition.

		Mises presented a strong defense of a gold standard: "The excellence of the gold standard is to be seen in the fact that it renders the determination of the monetary unit's purchasing power independent of the policies of governments and political parties.
		Mises, "I got in touch with Anne O'Hare McCormick, my colleague on the TIMES, who as you know was the chief writer on foreign affairs for the TIMES then, and she suggested that I get in touch with Breckinridge Long, then Assistant Secretary of State, and in charge of the refugee problem.
		Mises attacked nationalism which, combined with socialism, proved to be lethal: "It is the aim of nationalism to promote the well-being of the whole nation or of some groups of its citizens by inflicting harm on foreigners.

	LUDWIG VON MISES
		Mises transformed his insights about forced saving and malinvestment into a theory of the business cycle by recognizing the unsustainability of production activities that are based upon a low bank rate.
		Mises' formulation advanced the circulation-credit theory by showing that credit expansion is unsustainable even in a closed economy—or in an open one in which the banks of all countries expand together.
		In sum, Mises saw the boom as a consequence of unenlightened bank policy, a period of artificial and unsustainable expansion, in which capital and other resources are committed to excessively roundabout production processes, and he saw the bust as the inevitable consequence of the credit-induced boom.

	Who is Ludwig von Mises?
		Mises became prominent post-doctoral student in the famous University of Vienna seminar of the great Austrian economist Eugen von Bohm-Bawerk (among whose many accomplishments was the devastating refutation of the Marxian labor theory of value).
		Mises, and his follower Hayek, developed this cycle theory during the 192Os, on the basis of which Mises was able to warn an unheeding world that the widely trumpeted “New Era” of permanent prosperity of the 192Os was a sham, and that its inevitable result would be bank panic and depression.
		Mises also developed what he considered to be the proper methodology of economic theory--logical deduction from evident axioms, which he labeled “praxeology”, and he leveled trenchant critiques of the growing tendency in economics and other disciplines to replace praxeology and historical understanding by unrealistic mathematical models and statistical manipulations.

	Mises and Rothbard in Le Monde
		It is true that Mises had made himself known in academic circles in 1920, through an article that demonstrated the impossibility of a socialist economy’s avoiding total bankruptcy.
		As an aggravating circumstance, Mises was Jewish, and the fact that his grandfather had been raised to the nobility by Emperor Franz-Josef in 1881, the very day of Ludwig’s birth, evidently changed nothing in the eyes of the Nazis (the Mises Institute’s crest is none other than the Mises family’s coat-of-arms after its ennoblement).
		A prolific author and political agitator, in 1982, with the blessing of Mises’ widow and the assistance of Lew Rockwell, a Catholic libertarian and another champion at “fund raising,” he founds the Ludwig von Mises Institute, dedicated to teaching the “Austrian” approach to economics.

		Ludwig Edler von Mises, the eminence of the "Austrian School" of economics, may be best known for his part in a debate that raged during the early part of the 20th Century about the possibility of successful economic coordination under socialism.
		Mises argued forcefully that state ownership of the means of production makes the best assignment of capital goods impossible, due to the absence of a market price system.
		Never fully appreciated in academic Vienna, and in flight from Nazi Austria, Mises moved to Geneva in 1934, where he completed his magnum opus, Human Action, which lays out a comprehensive economic theory based on what Mises took to be self-evident, a priori axioms of human behavior.

	Ludwig von Mises’ Legacy for Feminists: Newsroom: The Independent Institute
		The name of the eminent Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises does not commonly arise in feminist circles, which tend to view the free market as an institution through which men as a class oppress women as a class.
		Mises called static classes that labor under legal disabilities “castes.” Castes are created when legal barriers are raised to cement people into a class and prevent social mobility.
		Mises would argue that the only valid step in the foregoing ladder of logic is that men, as a class, share a common anatomy.

		Mises' wife Margit would later write, "On the night the Nazis came to Vienna" they took "his valuable library, his writings, his documents and everything they found of importance, packed it all into 38 cases, and drove away."
		The Ludwig von Mises Institute (LvMI) notes Mises fled the Nazis in 1938, went to Switzerland, and then emigrated to the United States in 1940.
		Mises' 1944 book, Omnipotent Government: The Rise of Total State and Total War, is described by LvMI as "the first full-scale examination of German-style National Socialism as a species of socialism in general." Hatred of totalitarianism and overreaching state power is seared into the libertarian psyche.

		In the end, it turns out that Mises was not a historian of decline but a prophet of things to come.
