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