Abstract: This article reconstructs the work of Ludwig von Mises around his view of the role of the economist in society. It is possible to identify three phases in this trajectory: the first, in his infancy and youth, marked by a glorified vision of the State as a motor of progress and social coordination; the second from the publication of The Theory of Money and Credit (1912) until his departure from Vienna in 1934 because of the Nazi threat in Austria; and the third from his arrival in Geneva until his death in the United States. During these periods two facets of Mises can be seen: one academic and the other as a major actor in the discussion of public policies. This latter aspect of Mises has been more overlooked; however, it is fundamental to an understanding of his position on the role of the economist.
