This made me laugh

From Hayek’s Introduction in Memoirs

“The letter of recommendation by my university teacher Friedrich von Wieser, who described me as a highly promising young economist, was met by Mises with a smile and the remark that he had never seen me in his lectures.”

Hilarious.

I imagine I would have got on well with Mises. He would have been tough with me, and I would have appreciated it.

He almost didn’t get in because of that recommendation by Wieser
