Ludwig von Mises was a economist of the Austrian school, and he passed away in the mid-seventies. He worked at New York University for 24 years, with no salary from the university itself - he was kept afloat by donations of those who supported his work. I don't know very much about him, aside from a quick skim of his Wikipedia page. At the time of his death, his wife quoted a passage he himself wrote about Benjamin Anderson; she said it best described his personality.
His most eminent qualities were his inflexible honesty, his unhesitating sincerity. He never yielded. He always freely enunciated what he considered to be true. If he had been prepared to suppress or only to soften his criticisms of popular, but irresponsible, policies, the most influential positions and offices would have been offered him. But he never compromised.
