Ludwig Von Mises

LUDWIG VON MISES, ONE OF THE MOST NOTABLE ECONOMISTS AND SOCIAL PHILOSOPHERS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, DEVELOPED A SCIENCE OF ECONOMICS BASED ON THE FUNDAMENTAL IDEA THAT INDIVIDUAL HUMAN BEINGS ACT PURPOSEFULLY TO ACHIEVE DESIRED GOALS. MISES CONCLUDED THAT THE ONLY VIABLE ECONOMIC POLICY FOR THE HUMAN RACE WAS A POLICY OF UNRESTRICTED FREE MARKETS AND THE UNHAMPERED EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT OF PRIVATE PROPERTY, WITH GOVERNMENT STRICTLY LIMITED TO THE DEFENSE OF PERSON AND PROPERTY. "Full government control of all activities of the individual is virtually the goal of both parties." LUDWIG VON MISES
