Dieser Beitrag geht der Frage nach, wie Wissenschaft als Wissenschaft in einer Gesellschaft wirksam werden kann, wenn die Ideen der öffentlichen Meinung über die Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten der Gesellschaftspolitik entscheiden. Die These dieses Beitrags lautet, dass Ludwig von Mises' (Neu-)Bestimmung des Liberalismus eine Antwort auf diese Frage gibt, und zwar deshalb, weil Mises den Argumentationsmodus des Liberalismus systematisch auf Konsens ausrichtet. Zu diesem Zweck bestimmt von Mises das Ziel einer liberalen Gesellschaftspolitik nicht unter Rückgriff auf die Metaphysik oder die Natur, sondern als irdisches und sogar als prinzipiell im Konsens lösbares Problem: als Ordnungsproblem der Wirtschaft, bei dem es zentral um die Aufrechterhaltung der friedlichen, auf dem Sondereigentum an Produktionsmitteln beruhenden gesellschaftlichen Kooperation arbeitsteiliger Wertschöpfung geht. ; This paper poses the question how science can take effect as science within society, if it is ideas of public opinion that ultimately constitute the scope of societal policy and practice. This paper argues that Ludwig von Mises' liberalism helps to find an answer to that question in that von Mises grounds the liberal line of argument systematically on consensus. For this purpose, von Mises defines the goal of a liberal policy not with regard to external references such as God or Nature, but instead as a mundane and also even as a consensually soluble problem: as an institutional problem of the economy that particularly focuses on the preservation of peaceful social cooperation based on the private ownership of the means of production and the division of labor.

Reviews Jorg Guido Hulsmann's biography, Mises: The Last Night of Liberalism (2007), which describes the life & work of Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) whose astute analysis of why socialist central planning is impossible assured him a place as one of the most important economists of the 20th century. Mises' achievements also include a laudable monetary theory of the business cycle; extensive contributions to the philosophy of the social sciences; & a comprehensive theory of society & the social order. Little was known about Mises' personal life until papers believed to have been lost during WWII were discovered among secret Soviet archives. Mises left Austria in 1934 & taught in Switzerland for six years before coming to the US where he taught at New York U's Graduate School of Business Administration. Hulsmann highlights Mises' reputation as a great analytical "systems builder" & his work as a prolific writer. He also notes that most of Mises' work centered on his conception of "economic calculation" that grew out of his critique of socialist central planning. References. J. Lindroth

The most important vehicle through which Ludwig von Mises spread his ideas was his writings. But his impact was also leveraged through personal association with like-minded people in various private networks and organizations. The present paper highlights the more general significance of Mises' personal experience, by putting it into a wider historical context. We argue that it was no accident that his influence was amplified through private rather than public organizations. The emergence of influential libertarian organizations such as the Foundation for Economic Education and the Mont Pèlerin Society can be interpreted as a belated "free-market" reaction to increased government control of economic science during the previous seventy years. Just as libertarian scholarship in the 19th century was most successful because it relied on private initiatives and private organizations, the new organizations that came into their day after WW II were successful for exactly the same reason. The implication is that the best way to promote libertarian scholarship (and possibly the only way to preserve it) is to embed it within a purely private institutional framework.

Dieser Beitrag stellt die ökonomische Argumentationswissenschaft vor, die Ludwig von Mises praktiziert hat. Rekonstruiert werden seine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Sozialismus, seine konzeptionelle Neuausrichtung des Liberalismus und sein Beitrag zur Moraltheorie. ; This article introduces the economic approach to generate political arguments that has been employed by Ludwig von Mises. It reconstructs his approach against socialism, his works on liberalism, and finally his contribution to moral theory.

The author indicates shortcomings of the modern economics textbooks and surveys the contribution to economics made by Ludwig von Mises, the main representative of the Austrian school in the second half of the 20th century, and the impact of his magnum opus "Human Action" on the development of economic theory. The author summarizes the methodology of teaching economics (on the basis of "Human Action") he used in the Complutense University of Madrid.
