Ludwig von Mises was the
acknowledged leader of the Austrian School of economic thought,
a prodigious originator in economic theory, and a prolific author.
Mises's writings and lectures encompassed economic theory, history,
epistemology, government, and political philosophy.
His contributions to economic theory include
important clarifications on the quantity theory of money, the theory of the
trade cycle, the integration of monetary theory with economic theory in
general, and a demonstration that socialism must fail because it cannot solve
the problem of economic calculation.
Mises was the first scholar to recognize that economics is part of a larger
science in human action, a science that he called
"praxeology."
