Marxism Unmasked from Delusion to Destruction.pdf 7471KB

Acknowledgments
The lectures by Ludwig von Mises contained in Marxism
Unmasked were delivered at the San Francisco Public Library, June
23-July 3, 1952, under the sponsorship of The Freeman magazine.
They were taken down, word for word, in shorthand and
transcribed by Mrs. Bettina Bien Greaves. She has very kindly
made these lectures available to the Foundation for Economic
Education for publication. Mrs. Greaves worked as a senior staff
member at FEE for practically 50 years, only retiring in 1999.
Along with her late husband, Percy L. Greaves, Jr., she was a
long-time friend and associate of Ludwig von Mises. Indeed, there
are few people in the world today who are as conversant with
Mises's ideas and writings as she.
The publication of these lectures has been made possible
through the kind and generous continuing support of Mr. Sheldon
Rose of Farmington Hills, Michigan, and the Richard E. Fox
Foundation of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Special thanks are due to
Mr. Michael Pivarnik, Executive Director of the Fox Foundation,
for his dedicated interest in the ideas of the Austrian School of
Economics and Ludwig von Mises in particular.
Mrs. Beth Hoffman, managing editor of FEE's monthly
magazine, Tlie Freeman, has once again overseen the entire
preparation of the manuscript. Her eye for detail in all things is
reflected in the fine final product.
