Sennholz, an Austrian School economist whose first extended stay in the United States was spent in a prisoner of war camp in Arkansas. After taking his degrees back in Germany, the former Luftwaffe pilot returned to study at New York University. He became Ludwig von Mises' first PhD student in the United States and served as president of the Foundation for Economic Freedom after a long career in academia. Sennholz was an influence on former Congressman Ron Paul, who regarded him as a personal friend.
