The Role of Ideas in History

In this lecture we examine the role ideas play in the course of human history, concentrating on the thought of Ludwig von Mises. We pay specific attention to how societies change and contrast Mises views to those who utilize a philosophy of history to explain historical change, such as Karl Marx.
