An anecdote about Mises

0:00I've told this story before, but I'm going to tell it again because I think it's classic about Mises. People were very intimidated. First of all, half the people didn't know anything, didn't care. They had to get their automatic B or A or something. The rest of the people, those who were interested, the outside auditors mostly, were too intimidated. He's a great man. What do we know? How can we say anything? So what he says is, look, say anything you want. Whatever you say, however idiotic it is, has already been said before you by some eminent economist, of course he's right, he was right.
