Margit Herzfeld notes in her biography <strong>of</strong> Ludwig von<br />

Mises that he participated in Count Coudenhove-<br />

Kalergi's Pan Europe movement in 1943. He had been<br />

brought to <strong>the</strong> U.S. in 1940 by a grant from <strong>the</strong><br />

Rockefeller Foundation <strong>of</strong> $2500 a year to work at <strong>the</strong><br />

Natl. Bureau <strong>of</strong> Economic Research, which grant was<br />

renewed in 1943. Von Mises' pupils, Arthur Burns and<br />

entitled to dispose <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> capital and in<strong>com</strong>e <strong>of</strong> all its<br />

members at its own free will. Ra<strong>the</strong>nau's dictum was<br />

enacted into law by <strong>the</strong> far-reaching and multi-billion<br />

entitlement programs <strong>of</strong> Lyndon B. Johnson's Great<br />
