Jorg Hulsmann's Mises: The Last Knight of Liberalism is a biography of the life of Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973), one of the leaders of the Austrian School of economics. Apart from Murray Rothbard's entry on Mises in the The New Palgrave and his The Essential Von Mises (1973), the most important biography of Mises was written by his wife, Margit von Mises: My Years with Ludwig von Mises (1984). Mises also recorded his intellectual development through to 1940 shortly after his arrival in the United States in Memoirs (2009), which was published as Notes and Recollections in 1978 by his wife. Other recent biographies include James Edwards (1985), Rothbard (1988), Israel Kirzner (2001) and Carsten Pallas (2005).
