Menger: A Third Man from Galicia
In response to my article today on Mises.org, a correspondent from Poland writes:
[L]et me send you another, more direct connection: Carl Menger. He was born in Nowy Sącz (Neu Sandec in German, this was also part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy at this time, hence you may come across this German version of the place's name). It is a town circa 70km South-East from Krakow. Wadowice, where Karol Wojtyla was born is a town circa 40km South-West from Krakow.Both men studied at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow and got their degrees from this University - Menger got Ph.D. in law from UJ before he left for Vienna, and Karol Wojtyla got his Masters from UJ (and maybe also PhD, but I am not sure).
I would only add that the Jagiellonian University in Krakow has a long and distinguished history, having been formed in 1364 after King Casmir the Great received permission from Pope Urban V to establish a university in Krakow. It was only the second university established in Central Europe. Both its history and presence today reflects the hope that still existed in the difficult 14th century.

peter, lord bauer's last book, a collection of short essay's entitled FROM SUBSISTENCE TO EXCHANGE contains an essay against the pope's official views, especially regarding the third world, an area of lord bauer's expertise. in the essay, the official papal letters are called IMMORAL, IGNORANT & CORRUPT. it would seem that pope john paul II was no misesian.

But Bauer's essay Ecclesiastical Economics: Envy Legitimized is criticism of Pope Paul VI, not John Paul II.

Re: Two Men From Galicia
It would be nice to see an analysis of Carl Menger (Founder of the Austrian School) and Karl Marx (founder of Marxism). Some of Marx theories influenced Menger, and both men lived during the same period in history. I believe Menger and Marx were acquainted
