What kind of man was Ludwig von Mises? As this unique film shows, Mises (1881-1973) was a man who never stopped fighting for freedom: not when the Nazis burned his books, not when the Left blackballed him at universities, not when it seemed as if statism had won. With courage and genius, he fought big government until the day he died ... in 25 books, hundreds of articles, and more than 60 years of teaching.Mises's battles against Communists, Nazis, and other socialists, are featured in this film, as are his ideas of Liberty. There is also the old Vienna he loved, the Bolshevik prime minister he dissuaded from Communism, and a cast of villains from Lenin to Hitler, as well as such supporters and students as Murray Rothbard, Ron Paul, Bettina Greaves, M. Stanton Evans, Mary Peterson, Joseph Sobran, and Yuri Maltsev.Among his many accomplishments, Mises showed that socialism had to fail, that central banking causes recessions and depressions, that the gold standard is honest money, and that only laissez-faire capitalism is fully compatible with Western civilization. Mises was the twentieth century's foremost economist, and one of its most important champions of Liberty. Here is a film that does justice to this extraordinary man, and to his equally extraordinary ideas.

That is never going to happen. ever. expecting otherwise is childish. And the gov't isn't holding everyone's hand, only the ones they're giving tax breaks to, and the bank owners who caused the crash in the first place. And the fact that you're ok with the fact that "many will also pay for the mistakes of others via general downturns" is why it's your fault.

Mises was a true genius.

Those are not in themselves desirable consequences but nanny govt-econ always collapses completely ===> thats worse and is not the way should go, or could go. Our education system deserves so heavy shakeup based on its current ineeficiency and yes it is worth the cost of disruption in the interest of getting things more funadamentally correc and fianacially sustainable. Beware of the state more than the *robber barons* if you value freedom it has personal responsibilities attatched.

Americans are going to have to control their impulsive spending, which cause the housing crisis and debt situations that spawned the current recession. Its not up to govt to keep holding everyone's hand and keeping them off the edge of the cliff. They will have major probblems if they dont act more rationally and make better infomrned decisions and many will also pay for the mistakes of others via general downturns.

The Below 95% are Basically Mushroooms that are fed sh*t and and kept in the dark. The United States is a Debtor Nation with a completely Maxed out credit card but as long as the shrooms pay the Minimum payment you will be happily left alone to your toil.But when you default on your Loans the International bankers will buy your Tangible assets for pennies on the dollar.

This recession is you folks' fault (not that any of you suffered the consequences anyway...). California just lost vast swathes of teachers because of your decreased taxes and your deregulated banking policy.

And instead of arguing my point, six consecutive people just got frustrated and decided to hide the truth with negative votes... typical ignorant republicans...

Does anyone know where I can ascertain that delightful song that plays at the beginning of the piece ?I would very much like to play it whilst I sip brandy and smoke my pipe by the fireplace.

Socialist ? What utter hogwash ! Im a right wing libertarian good sir.

This, all, from the king of copying and pasting, who cannot think for himself. Bitch, fuck off and leave the real men to do the intellectual heavy lifting, not your socialist twits, and you.
