A propósito de austríacos e objectivistas (2)

Um episódio curioso, narrado no artigo Ludwig von Mises, socialism's greatest enemy: His life and times:

Mises put off many people, occasionally even friends, because he refused to compromise. During the early 1950s, journalist Henry Hazlitt wrote, Mises and novelist/philosopher Ayn Rand were at his house for dinner. Rand snapped at one of Mises' comments, saying "You seem to regard me as just a little Jewish girl who doesn't know anything."###

"Lu didn't mean it that way," Hazlitt said.

"I did mean it that way!" Mises replied.

Mises came to admire Rand, calling her "the most courageous man in America." Hazlitt told Rand about the remark, and she was delighted.
