Ludwig von Mises as Intransigent Man of Principle and Integrity

Here is the great Dr. Gary North with a personal biographical memoir on economist Ludwig Von Mises, the obstacles Mises faced in his amazing life, how the incredible matrix and interconnections of simultaneous yet disparate world events impacted with the life and career of Mises, and through it all, Mises’ intransigent devotion to integrity and principle.

Ludwig von Mises did not have an easy life. His career was blocked by a series of brick walls. Here were the main ones:

1. No appointment to a paid position at the University of Vienna

2. World War I

3. The untimely death of his most influential advocate

4. The Nazis

5. Starting over at age 59 in a new country

He was able to get around all of them.

Today, he is more famous than he ever was in his lifetime. He has far more disciples. Go to Mises.org for more on his tremendous legacy and impact on the world of today.
