John Medaille and others with similar impressions of Mises' research
methodology may benefit from consulting a standard work in sociology of the
early 20th century--ORIGINS OF SOCIOLOGY by Albion W. Small, Chicago:
University of Chicago Press, 1924. In it, considerable space is dedicated
to explaining the early contributions to sociological theory by the Austrian
Carl Menger. Mises' work is a direct extension of the foundations laid by
Menger.
