Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) was an Austrian-born economist who immigrated to the United States while advocating free markets and laissez-faire. He was an outspoken critic of socialism and is considered the founder the "neo-Austrian School" of economics. But Mises also felt that government should not take positions on morality either. | Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) was an Austrian-born economist who immigrated to the United States while advocating free markets and laissez-faire.
