Abstract
Mises was born in Lemberg, Austria-Hungary, on 29 September 1881 and died in New York City on 18 October 1973. The son of a Viennese construction engineer for the Austrian railroads, Mises enrolled in the University of Vienna in 1900. He earned his doctorate in law and economics in 1906, after which he became a leading member of Bӧhm-Bawerk’s famous seminar at the university. From 1913 to 1934, Mises taught as an unpaid Privatdozent at the University of Vienna, conducting a seminar on economic theory. From 1909 to 1934, he was an economist for the Vienna Chamber of Commerce, serving as the principal economic adviser to the Austrian government.
