Hi! I am in a bit of a quarrel with a fellow user over the state of the fascism section- he keeps adding original research and is not following N-POV, but I would like the opinions of others. F. A. Hayek 23:46, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
Ludwig Von Mises supported free competition - the opposite of Fascism (for example he condemned the Fascist National Industrial Recovery Act and National Recovery Administration in the United States), Mises totally rejected Corporate State "Stakeholder Capitalism" Fascist principles and, as already stated, supported free competition. To suggest that Mises supported Fascist Stakeholder Capitalism ideas (rather than free competition), based on an out of context quote from his 1927 book "Liberalism" (the clue is in the title - it was Classical Liberalism, not Fascism, that Mises was supporting in this book) is utterly absurd.2A02:C7E:1CD7:8C00:5D1A:D540:53F2:FD34 (talk) 08:34, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
I added this section, as I believe it is the most unique part of Mises' thought, and it was sorely missing. It is thus currently in its first and most rudimentary implementation, and I welcome revision. I have mostly focused on methodological individualism, his arguments against polylogism, a bit on praxeology (not to be redundant with its mention under economic contributions), and a large section on his views regarding teleology of human action. I believe this is one of the most interesting and hard to grasp parts for any new reader of Mises, and deserves much ink, although I may have overdone it to the point of redundancy. I have tried to strike a balance between the incredible nuance and thought provocation of his perspective, with the fact that this paradigm is well outside of contemporary economic science, and may never be reconciled with the direction the field has moved towards.

This section had a lot done previously, but I found the grammar and ease of reading to be pretty poor. I've run some of the previous paragraphs through GPT 4 to enhance their clarity. I also added a lot about praxeology, attempting to articulate Mises' position and why he needed it for economic methodology. The section is probably too long, and I hope someone with an impartial view can come along and axe all the weakest parts to distill it down a bit. Follynomics (talk) 20:44, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
This needs a major reworking, as about half of references are from author's writings/organizations linked to author. This is especially flagrant in the sections about his views, which also appear to constitute OR in a great part. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 15:42, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
