Mises: The Last Knight of Liberalism
In Mises: The Last Knight of Liberalism, Jörg Guido Hülsmann has surely written the definitive personal and intellectual biography of perhaps the greatest economist of the 20th century.
Hülsmann takes us into the world of Mises’ childhood, and the intellectual climate of his day. Hülsmann’s knowledge of economics enables him to explain and evaluate Mises’ major works and the various arguments with which Mises contested. One of Mises’ major works, Socialism, converted many to the market economy, and left the socialists of his day without a viable system.
