What Margit von Mises Loved Most About Ludwig

In honor of Valentine’s Day, here is a touching tribute by Margit von Mises to her husband. To Margit, Ludwig’s dearest quality was not his great wisdom, but his passion for humanity. 

Given during an event honoring the republishing of his book Liberalism, Margit’s touching words not only display the love the two had for each other, but serve as a great reminder of just how important her husband’s ideas are. Rather than simply being academic theories meant for scholarly debate, they are vital insights into empowering mankind to generate prosperity and eradicate the hardship of poverty. His words are a guide to making the world a better place for all.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
