Ludwig von Mises, (1881-1973) Economist and social philosopher
Ludwig von Mises Quote
“It is impossible to understand the history of economic thought if one does not pay attention to the fact that economics as such is a challenge to the conceit of those in power. An economist can never be a favorite of autocrats and demagogues. With them he is always the mischief-maker, and the more they are inwardly convinced that his objections are well-founded, the more they hate him.”
~ Ludwig von Mises
