The scene was recalled to me the way miracles are described in the
Gospels … There is another respect in which we can all emulate Murray
[Rothbard]. He was fearless in speaking the truth. He never let fear of
colleagues, fear of the profession, fear of editors or political cultures,

stand in the way of his desire to say what was true. This is why he turned
to the Austrian tradition even though most economists at the time con-
sidered it a dead paradigm. This is why he embraced liberty, and worked
to shore up its theoretical and practice rationale at a time when the rest of
the academic world was going the other way … This fearlessness, courage,
and heroism applied even in his political analysis.
Mises (2006a [1958], 94) noted that ‘Man is not a being that, on the
one hand, has an economic side and, on the other hand, a political side,
with no connection between the two.’ And as Boettke (2016) correctly
pointed out: ‘Mises’s economics informed his political theory.’
4 R. Leeson
The ‘Fascists’ that Mises (1985 [1927], 44, 49) praised included
‘Germans and Italians,’ ‘Ludendorff and Hitler.’ Mises aspired to pro-
vide intellectual leadership:
The great danger threatening domestic policy from the side of Fascism
lies in its complete faith in the decisive power of violence. In order to
assure success, one must be imbued with the will to victory and always
proceed violently. This is its highest principle … The suppression of all
opposition by sheer violence is a most unsuitable way to win adherents
to one’s cause. Resort to naked force—that is, without justification in
terms of intellectual arguments accepted by public opinion—merely gains
new friends for those whom one is thereby trying to combat. In a battle
between force and an idea, the latter always prevails. (emphases added)3
Mises’ Second Estate insights about the power of ‘public opinion’ came
almost a century after a similar discovery made by British aristocrats
(see below); and somewhat belatedly, Mises discovered that Fascism
was a conveyor belt along which Jews like himself had their property
confiscated.
Four years after the demise of the Habsburgs, Mises (1922) den-
igrated the First Estate and their ‘evil seed’ of Christianity for hav-
ing failed to protect the neo-feudal hierarchy. After the failure of his
attempt to become the intellectual Führer of a Nazi-Classical Liberal
Pact (1985 [1927]), Mises sought a post-Hitler Pact with the American
Religious Right, including public stoning theocrats (Leeson 2018a).
In May 1932, the prominent Nazi official, Gregor Strasser, declared
that the ‘rise of National Socialism is the protest of a people against
a State that denied the right to work and the revival of natural inter-
course’ (cited by Bullock 1962, 215). The unemployment-inducing
deflation that Mises and Hayek promoted facilitated Hitler’s 1933 rise
to power and the subsequent advance of Soviet communism into the
heart of Europe. Between 1933 and 1936, it also helped propagate both
Keynesian economics and a distinctive Chicago monetary tradition
(Leeson 2003a, b).
Joan Robinson (1979, 186) described her first meeting with Michal
Kalecki in Cambridge in 1936 as a Pirandello play: Kalecki was
1 ‘Property’ + ‘Aristocratic Dignity’ = ‘Scientific Glory’
5
‘perfectly familiar with our brand new ideas and he had invented for
himself some of Keynes’s fanciful concepts … I could not tell whether
it was I who was speaking or he.’ So it was on the right. Hitler—a con-
vert to Mises’ business cycle theory—declared: ‘Power comes at last in
Germany only to him who has anchored this power most deeply in the
people’ (cited by Bullock 1962, 245). In Human Action, ‘von’ Mises
(1998 [1949], 188–189) again emphasized the importance of selling
ideology to the ‘inferior’ sovereign consumers:
Might is the faculty or power of directing actions. As a rule one says only
of a man or of groups of men that they are mighty. Then the definition
of might is: might is the power to direct other people’s actions. He who
is mighty, owes his might to an ideology. Only ideologies can convey to
a man the power to influence other people’s choices and conduct. One
can become a leader only if one is supported by an ideology which makes
other people tractable and accommodating. Might is thus not a physi-
cal and tangible thing, but a moral and spiritual phenomenon. A king’s
might rests upon the recognition of the monarchical ideology on the part
of his subjects. He who uses his might to run the state, i.e., the social
apparatus of coercion and compulsion, rules. Rule is the exercise of might
in the political body. Rule is always based upon might, i.e., the power to
direct other people’s actions. Of course, it is possible to establish a gov-
ernment upon the violent oppression of reluctant people. It is the char-
acteristic mark of state and government that they apply violent coercion
or the threat of it against those not prepared to yield voluntarily. Yet such
violent oppression is no less founded upon ideological might. He who
wants to apply violence needs the voluntary cooperation of some people.
An individual entirely dependent on himself can never rule by means of
physical violence only.
result: ‘To do the bidding of others is for the employed the condition
of achieving his purpose.’ Using one of his dissembling words, curious,’
Hayek (1978) described the resulting ‘spontaneous’ order: ‘the curious
thing is that in the countryside of southwest England, the class distinc-
tions are very sharp, but they’re not resented. [laughter] They’re still
accepted as part of the natural order.’4
According to Mises (1985 [1927], 47–48), ‘The militaristic and
nationalistic enemies of the Third International felt themselves cheated
by liberalism’ because of the exclusion of ‘murder and assassination’
from the list of measures to be ‘resorted to in political struggles.’ In
his proposed Nazi-Classical Liberal Pact, he would provide the ideol-
ogy and they would provide the death squads. In Human Action, Mises
(1998 [1949], 188–189) described the ‘spontaneous’ final solution to
the Führer’s dilemma:
The Nazi penal code stated that the ‘first condition for the new legal
order must be that henceforth no Jew, Negroes, or other coloured peo-
ple can be absorbed into the German blood’ (cited by Gilbert 1964,
78). Hayek (5 March 1975)—whose obsession with his own Ahnenpass
(ancestor passport) predated Hitler’s—told the Liberty Fund’s Neil
McLeod that he didn’t want non-whites to touch his money—his
Chicago bank had ‘gone negro’ and he needed to find an alternative.5
Caldwell’s (2004, xi, 344, n16) Hayek’s Challenge was funded by the John
W. Pope Foundation and the Liberty Fund (who hosted a conference to
discuss a preliminary draft of the volume). According to its 2013–2014
Annual Report, Duke University’s Centre for the History of Political

same period they gave $30.5 million to two hundred and twenty-one col-
leges and universities, often to fund academic programs advocating their
worldview. Among the positions embraced by the Kochs are fewer gov-
ernment regulations on business, lower taxes, and skepticism about the
causes and impact of climate change. (Mayer 2013)
You see, my problem with all this is the whole role of what I commonly
call the intellectuals, which I have long ago defined as the secondhand
dealers in ideas. For some reason or other, they are probably more subject
to waves of fashion in ideas and more influential in the American sense
than they are elsewhere. Certain main concerns can spread here with
an incredible speed. Take the conception of human rights. I’m not sure
whether it’s an invention of the present administration or whether it’s of
an older date, but I suppose if you told an eighteen year old that human
rights is a new discovery he wouldn’t believe it. He would have thought
the United States for 200 years has been committed to human rights,
which of course would be absurd. The United States discovered human
rights two years ago or five years ago. Suddenly it’s the main object and
leads to a degree of interference with the policy of other countries which,
even if I sympathized with the general aim, I don’t think it’s in the least
justified. People in South Africa have to deal with their own problems,
1 ‘Property’ + ‘Aristocratic Dignity’ = ‘Scientific Glory’

and the idea that you can use external pressure to change people, who
after all have built up a civilization of a kind, seems to me morally a very
doubtful belief. But it’s a dominating belief in the United States now.13
chauffeur, to the country club, where we had the best food we had
eaten in a long, long time.’ In the southwest township of Johannesburg,
blacks like Williams who collaborated with apartheid were ‘necklaced’
(burnt alive); and Margit Mises (1984, 172) was ‘not very happy in that
Rolls Royce and was glad when we were back in the hotel. There were
only two Rolls Royces in Tucson, and everyone, of course, knew the
owners. I was afraid the students, in their excitement, might eventually
become destructive.’
Prior to Hayek’s 1974 Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences, it
appeared that global politics were moving to the left: the Conservative
Edward Heath lost the ‘Who Governs Britain’ election (February
1974); and the Republican Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment
(August 1974). In South East Asia, the ‘armaments and conscription’
of Mises’ Warfare State led to war crimes and American defeat and
‘the enslavement of all’ who lived in the societies that had been carpet
bombed ‘back to the stone age.’ But Margaret Thatcher replaced Heath
(February 1975), Ronald Reagan almost defeated Gerald Ford (August
1976), while the Koch brothers ramped-up their funding.
Mises was ‘conspicuous consumption’ for such sovereign consumers
(the donor class). The ‘elegant chauffeur came with the Rolls’; and the
Tucson Rolls owner had an ‘impressive library,’ and ‘immediately’ asked
Mises to write a ‘few words’ in his copy of Human Action, which was
open on the table when Mises arrived. He insisted that Mises was the
‘only author - besides Winston Churchill - whom he had ever asked to
autograph a book.’ Margit Mises (1984, 172) wondered whether this
‘hospitable gentleman had really read all the books in his library or
knew many of their authors.’ He ‘was charming and deeply reverential
toward Mises, even worshipful’ (email from Heatherly to Leeson 7 April
2018); and completely contemptuous of the safety of other road users:
he dispensed with his ‘elegant’ chauffeur to drive
von Mises and Margit to the club. He rocketed along the road in his
Rolls. Charles and I followed in I think my car, keeping up as best I
could. Charles said to me as we bounced along at breakneck speed, ‘It’s all
right; there’s no one on this road but us plutocrats.’ (email from Gasper
to Leeson 11 April 2018)

in the past used the tactical [emphasis added] argument that we can-
not hope to curb the coercive powers of labor unions unless we at the
same time attack enterprise monopoly’ (Hayek 2011 [1960], 381).
After all, the one phrase in the American Constitution, or rather in the
First Amendment, which I think most highly of is the phrase, ‘Congress
shall make no law….’ Now, that’s unique, but unfortunately [it goes]

Like ‘von’ Hayek, ‘von’ Mises generally referred to Otto the Hapsburg
Pretender as ‘His Majesty, Kaiser Otto’ and ‘Imperial Highness’—long
after the prospect of a restoration of the Austrian monarchy had dis-
appeared (Hülsmann 2007, 818). The House of Habsburg ruled over
Spain (and thus much of the Americas) until they inter-bred themselves
to extinction. The United States was founded by those who were fearful
of both the First (the government-backed clergy) and the Second Estate
(the government-backed aristocracy). The 1791 First Amendment sep-
arated Church and State: ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion; or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the peo-
ple peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress
of grievances.’
The Austrian School of Economics is promoted—and funded—by
those who profess deep religiosity. General Francisco Franco invited
Otto the Habsburg Pretender to ‘resume’ the Spanish Crown; Franco
was a ‘dictator of the South American type … not totalitarian like
Hitler or Stalin.’ Shortly after the end of World War II, Felix Somary
informed Otto that ‘Aristocracy has to begin somewhere,’ and—
pointing to some westward bound ‘unkempt’ train passengers (some
presumably refugees)—added: ‘These are going to be our overlords in
the future.’ But von Habsburg had hope: ‘There is an extraordinary
revival of religion in France … I never would have thought one could
dare to say in France what Sarkozy is saying—that the separation of
church and state in France is wrong’ (Watters 2005; Morgan 2011).
In ‘Right-Wing Populism,’ Rothbard (1992) sought to create an
Austrian Police State with only notional controls on coercive pow-
ers: ‘Cops must be unleashed, and allowed to administer instant pun-
ishment, subject of course to liability when they are in error.’ In ‘Flog
Him,’ Rockwell (1994) appeared to salivate over ‘six of the best …
to be administered on his bare buttocks with a half-inch wide,
16 R. Leeson
Mises (1985 [1927], 49) also prophesized the ‘moderate’ course that
Fascist would pursue: ‘Fascism will never succeed as completely as
Russian Bolshevism in freeing itself from the power of liberal ideas.’ As
soon as the ‘first flush of anger had passed,’ Fascist ‘policy took a more
moderate course and will probably become even more so with the pas-
sage of time.’
When North (1987) thinks of man-on-man sex, he feels himself
‘under siege’: his devotion to Presuppositionalism appears to have led
to a ‘Lead us Not into Temptation’ obsession with public stoning. But
God had intervened on his behalf: ‘A decade from now’ homosexuals
will ‘all be dead. There will be no gay lobby because there will be no
male gays. (The irony of all this is that the one group that is proba-
bly safest is the lesbian community.) But we must recognize what we
face. The disease [AIDS] will be here in a decade because judgment has
come.’
Herman Finer (1945, ix, 210) detected in Hayek (his LSE colleague)
a ‘thoroughly Hitlerian contempt for the democratic man.’ According
to Hitler, ‘the Jewish doctrine of Marxism repudiates the aristo-
cratic principle of nature’ (cited by Bullock 1962, 40). As ‘von’ Hayek
(2007 [1944]) was writing The Road to Serfdom, the Austrian School

The 1929 crash of the ‘free’ stock market preceded deflation. In 1932—
with 23.53% Great Depression unemployment—17,000 ‘Great’ War
veterans and their families demanded early cash-payment redemption
of their 1924 service certificates. The Army Chief of Staff, General
Douglas MacArthur, used six tanks to remove the ‘Bonus Expeditionary
Force’ and demolish their Washington camp. ‘Lt. Col. Richard
