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.

This doesn't even rise to the level of a soviet propaganda film.

@kingnat2 "All I see the free market do is fluctuate from okay to complete shit."ಠ_ಠHow can you say you've seen the free market when one has never existed?

@kingnat2 possibly because it wasn't a free market to begin with

@ElJefer What evidence? All I see the free market do is fluctuate from okay to complete shit. How will massive deregulation make my life better? Convince me.Oh and so you know, Mises was very emotionally charged about his fear of "Communism" which is what he thought the USSR was, which displays his lack of knowledge of left wing economics.
