This magazine is pretty high profile in Germany, and this article is the latest installment of a series on “great economists.”
Mises is being referred to by mainstream journalists in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland as a matter of course. Recently the upper house of the Luxembourg parliament published a minority report on the economic crisis heavily relying on a newspaper article I had published in January.
I just returned from a trip to Brussels, where I have taught a crash course on Austrian Macroeconomics at the request of the European Commission. They wanted in-house training on this important subject for some of their economists. The class went very well.

That’s fantastic! If only we could get US politicians interested in any kind of economics.
This is indeed encouraging! How interesting it would be to see one or more European countries eventually become the bastion of free enterprise the U.S. once was. I’m not holding my breath, of course, but it’s an intriguing thought.
Thats great. Congratulations!
“Mises is being referred to by mainstream journalists in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland as a matter of course.”
Is something wrong with this sentence or am I stupid?
That’s great news. It looks like the US will end up being the last country to embrace freedom.
I’ve been reading a biography of Ropke lately and this struck me as similar to what he experienced in post-war Germany. In 1948 Erhard, with Ropke on his team, was appointed director of Economics Administration in the Anglo-American zone. He replaced the inflated currency and dropped all price controls against American, British and French opposition. The “Allies” were as socialist as the USSR at the time and in spite of the fact that the German people were one day away from mass starvation, they refused to remove controls on the economy. Erhard did it anyway and the German “miracle” happened. Of course, it was only a miracle to the stupid American socialists. Britain retained war-time price controls and became poorer, while France adopted the new currency but kept price controls. The wealth of the Anlgo-American zone over the poverty of the French zone proved Ropke and Erhard right.
Perhaps, Guido, you are one of the chief candidates for “The Greatest Educator in Europe!”

Who Is The Greatest Educator In The U.S.? Ron Paul!
And another point of great interest is the powerful way that Ron Paul is educating the masses. He tears to pieces the lies and half-truths about Keynesianism (and even Keynes himself) and the lies and half-truths about free market economics coming from the bankrupt minds of the oppressing and corrupt ‘leaders.’ ( http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=18233 )
Who is the greatest educator in the United States? No it is not some ‘tow-the-line’ politically-correct nursemaid who is diligently serving the government curriculum with zeal and zest!
Ron Paul is the greatest educator in the United States!
Guido, Guido do I hear you say? There is another Guido who is also a great campaigner in Europe.
See the books mentioned on the column on the right on:

You will find Mises and Hayek amongst them. Though not placed as prominently as they should be. Guido is unfortunately far too much of a Tory.
Guido Fawke’s site is on of the most popular political sites in the UK.
Dr. JGH,
Like subject, like biographer?
