Notes and Recollections
Notes and Recollections is, in part, an autobiography,
a purely intellectual one written at the conclusion of Ludwig von
Mises' European career. It was written in 1940 upon his arrival in
the United States. Unlike many other autobiographies that dwell on
the writer's background and family relations, this book hinges on
Mises' intellectual development, and his role in the realm of social
and economic thought. Disappointed by the intellectual decline and
despairing of the future of European civilization, he penned his memoirs
in sadness and bitterness. They are a splendid record of a farsighted
observer of the darkness that had descended over Europe.
