It's preposterous. Mises was monumental, and his works deserve to be studied and learned throughout a lifetime. He wasn't just one thing: he was a human being with changing views, moods, missteps and corrections, contributions that have been lost, and many underdeveloped insights that others can flesh out. We might think we know his works, but we do not. It takes an open mind and serious study to come to terms with who he was and what he did.
