On this day in 1881, Ludwig von Mises was born. Here is a video we show every year in lesson time that compares his views vs. Marx. We think it's a great video to get a conversation started & there are lots of economic terms in there.. #EconSky youtu.be/QwqnRYPcrl0?...

If you think about sets as "collections of objects", you are painfully wrong.
This naive approach to set theory quickly led to a discovery that upended mathematics and caused an enormous crisis. (At least one.)
