Now that is really funny. Time Magazine wouldn't know anything about von Mises. In addition, isn't von Mises quite dead, and been dead for 35 years? But here's the really funny part: If Time does have old Ludwig as Man of the Year, his name will forever be associated with the economic calamity that was 2008--not as an economist with a viable alternative, but as an associate of the calamity, For old Ron to have wanted his teacher associated with 2008, as one of the leading figures, albiet dead, of 2008, is to show that old Ron has sone senile. Time should pick someone who epitomises 2008 for its Man of the year. But I always thought that Dr Paul needed the services of another kind of doctor or social worker.
