About the Author

Ludwig von Mises was a towering figure in the Austrian School of economics, renowned for his incisive critiques of socialism and his advocacy for free-market principles. Born in 1881 in what is now Ukraine, he earned a doctorate in law from the University of Vienna and served as an economic advisor to the Austrian Chamber of Commerce. Exiled from Nazi-occupied Austria in 1934, Mises continued his scholarly pursuits in Geneva and later in the United States, where he taught at New York University until his retirement. His magnum opus, Human Action: Scholar's Edition (LvMI), meticulously outlines the praxeological foundations of human behavior in economic contexts, while Planned Chaos exposes the perils of interventionist policies and central planning. Mises's enduring legacy lies in his unwavering defense of individual liberty and sound money, influencing generations of economists and libertarians worldwide.
