Immediatley after his death, Margit von Mises, the widow of Ludwig von Mises, set out to write a book about the man, her husband, the teacher and mentor of so many eminent economists. My Years with Ludwig von Mises (second enlarged edition), tells of life in old Vienna and Geneva, and describes the Mises' escape through France, Spain, and Portugal to the United States. It portrays the master in Vienna, Geneva, and New York, and follows him to Mexico City, Buenos Aires, and many other places where he lectured. The book provides fascinating glimpses of the many distinguished people who were touched by this man. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
