The death of Ludwig von Mises, at the age of 92, marks the passing of the greatest economist of his generation. His was, in fact, one of the most powerful and original minds that ever operated in the social sciences, to be compared with such figures as Ricardo, Boehm-Bawerk, and Max Weber.
An incredible worker, he was the author of at least 19 books if one counts only first editions, and of perhaps double that number if one includes revised and expanded versions. He wrote hundreds of articles and monographs, and delivered countless lectures.
