Ludwig von Mises
(redirected from Misesian)

   Also found in: Financial, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Mises, Ludwig von 

Born Sept. 29, 1881, in L’vov. American economist.

Mises graduated from the University of Vienna in 1906, where he was a professor from 1913 to 1938. During 1938–40 he worked in Switzerland; he moved to the United States in 1940, and in 1945 became a professor at New York University.

In works such as Socialism (1951) and The Anticapitalist Psychosis (1956), Mises emerges as an apologist for capitalism, proclaiming it to be a system that corresponds to human nature. An advocate of unrestricted freedom of competition, Mises rejects any attempts at government interference in the economy, taking the view that such interference disrupts the natural process of economic development. Many of Mises’ propositions are severely criticized even by bourgeois economists.

Hayek ([1940] 1948a, [1945] 1948b) extended the Misesian arguments by situating them more clearly in the context of knowledge.
The question in Boettke's title was a rhetorical one; he wasn't actually proposing a Misesian socialism.
In the first volume of this work, they present 23 previously published papers that explicitly engage with the theory and methodology of the "uncontested dean of the Austrian School of economics," organized into sections concerned with the overarching Misesian system or paradigm; issues of methodology; market theory and the price system; money, capital, and business cycles; and socialism, interventionism, and liberalism.
