Hans Sennholz -- 1922-2007

Hans Sennholz was a GREAT teacher.  And outside of my father, he probably had more influence on my life than any other male figure.  I often pray that I will eventually be half the man my father was, and I would like to be half the economic communicator Hans Sennholz was.  I have a long way to go on both fronts.  May God Bless Your Soul Dr. Sennholz.

Checking out his work with the MPS, you can hear a talk to a 1961 meeting here

This is a beautiful autobiographical piece

"Although a great man may die, his thought and deeds may survive and leave an indelible stamp on his fellow men." Sennholz on Mises

The piece by Sennholz (link above) was actually about Mises but it revealed a great deal about Sennholz. There is another piece on line that has a lot to say about Sennholz but Pete was too modest to post it up as a tribute because it is about him as well. It is also about the up front injection of moral commentary on economic policy. I think that demonstrates the possibility of value-free analysis (stressed by Mises and Hayek) and at the same time the obligation of scientists to draw out the human consequences of different policies.

I came late to Dr. Sennholz's work, having realized who he was only after reading some of his more recent articles at sites like Safehaven.com and Financial Sense Online.

I was knocked out by some of his latest pieces and had recently made a mental note to uncover more of his writings (especially on the topics of money and inflation).

So it is with some sadness and regret that I hear the news of Hans Sennholz's passing. Best wishes to his family and friends.

Peter, I noticed a tribute you wrote to your teacher, Dr. Sennholz on another blogger's site. I included it in my recent post on Sennholz's life and work.

Best regards,
David Shvartsman

I just saw that Grove City awarded Dr Sennholz an honorary Doctor of Laws degree at this year's commencement. Back in 1995, he told me that to receive such an award from the college where he spent basically his entire career would be the greatest honor. I'm so pleased he was recognized in this way before his death.

I owe my thoughts on freedom to Dr. Sennholz. I attended Grove City after serving in the U S Navy. Graduating in 1959 with a degree in business and a minor in economics. I wish every college and university today had a Dr. Sennholz to champion the results of free enterprise. One of the greatest teachers I ever had.
