Published for the first time together in one volume is Ludwig von
Misess Notes and Recollections with The Historical Setting of the
Austrian School of Economics. Written between 1940 and 1941,
shortly after he arrived in the United States, Notes and
Recollections is in effect Misess pre-1940 intellectual
autobiography. This work reveals how Mises developed his theories,
wrote his books, lectured, and taught; it describes his life in
Vienna and the people with whom he worked. He also discusses his
activities as an adviser to Austrian government officials and his
frustrations in attempting to keep inflation and communist and Nazi
ideas from destroying the Austrian economy. The Historical Setting
of the Austrian School of Economics is an essay originally
published in English in 1969 that reveals Misess intellectual
development in the context of the origins of the Austrian School.
It serves as a good introduction to the theory and history of the
Austrian School. As Mises explains in these two works, his
viewpoint that modern economics is based on subjective value and
marginal-utility theory separated him from classical economists
such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill.
