  Great man. Wish he was still with us.

  Richard von Mises was Ludwig's brother.

  He was a mathematician if I remember correctly.

  Pictures of Ludwig von Mises Are Worth A Thousand Words!

  Since Ludwig von Mises is such an exemplary figure it is nice to have a very good collection of photographs which show him throughout his life.

  In general he appeared to be an individual that possessed purity of heart, chastity of soul, and freedom of spirit. That may be part of the reason for his genius.

  If nothing else these pictures prove that he cannot be removed from history nor will his contributions be able to be kept wrapped in a shroud of impoverished economic theory.

  Great genius of the humanities; what an intellect, and what an inspiration. A pity he cannot see the fruits of his labours today in the Mises Institute and the freedom movement.

  His younger brother Richard was a genius in his own right. He was appointed professor of mathematics at age 26, and made significant advances in engineering and aerodynamics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Mises
