Ludwig von Mises

Ludwig von Mises was an influential economist and philosopher associated with the Austrian School of economics. He emphasized the importance of individual choice and free markets, arguing that economic coordination arises naturally when individuals pursue their own interests. Mises opposed government interventions, believing they distort market signals and lead to inefficiency. His work laid the groundwork for modern libertarian thought, advocating for a political philosophy that champions personal liberty, private property, and limited government. Mises's ideas on praxeology, the study of human action, highlight how individual decisions drive economic outcomes.
