 1881-1973: Ludwig von Mises Bibliography
Mises does not exaggerate in his description of the teachings of economics as espoused by the historical school.
In today's world Mises and his students are regarded as the representatives of the Austrian school, and justifiably so, although he only represents one of the branches into which Menger's theories had already been divided by his students, and the close personal friendship between Eugen von Böehm-Bawerk and Friedrich von Wieser.
But the Mises who speaks from the following pages is without question the Mises we knew from the Vienna of the twenties; of course without the tactful reservation that he invariably displayed in oral expression; but the honest and open expression of what he felt and thought.

 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.

 Ludwig von Mises
Ludwig Elder 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.
In 1940, Mises moved to New York City, where he met with more academic neglect, yet managed to publish such notable works as Omnipotent Government and Bureaucracy, and held a popular and influential seminar while teaching as a Visiting Professor at the NYU Graduate School of Business.
