In short, Eucken dished up the same interventionist agenda that had already dominated the Lippmann Colloquium in 1938. At that time, Mises had been on his honeymoon in Paris, which might explain why his contributions to the discussions had been unusually tame. Nine years later, the honeymoon was over. He reacted with great determination and defended his laissez-faire position so vigorously that many years later his friend Lawrence Fertig still recalled the debate. Milton Friedman eventually concurred:
our sessions were marked by vigorous controversy over such issues as the role of religion and moral values in making possible and preserving a free society; the role of trade unions and the appropriateness of government action to affect the distribution of income.

米塞斯对人类的自由的关心，胜过一切。这本书不仅介绍了米塞斯在不同的人生阶段的遭遇，也对其在该阶段的学术活动、学术成果进行了评述，可以说是最好的个人学术传记。当然，对于一般人来说，这个篇幅有点长，但是感受了米塞斯的人格魅力，也总算不虚此行。

出版说明是人格分裂啊，在言论收紧的年代，最后一段就是再次突出政治正确的表现啊！难为出版同仁们了。（其实从很大程度上来说，米塞斯是精英统治的同路人）

本书实在太厚 前前后后跨了两年才读完 鼓吹极端的自由主义 让米塞斯很难被接受 现在也几乎没有哪个国家在践行他的理论了
