Jörg Guido Hülsmann (German: [ˈhʏlsman]; born 18 May 1966) is a German-born economist who studies issues related to money, banking, monetary policy, macroeconomics, and financial markets.

He is a vice-president of the international Property and Freedom Society, a board member of the Association des économistes catholiques[2] in France, and a scientific board member of the Hayek-Gesellschaft[3] in Germany, of the Austrian Institute of Economics and Social Philosophy,[4] and of the International Academy for Philosophy[5] in Liechtenstein.

[10] Hülsmann went to high school in a town with "the highest communist voter percentage in all of Western Germany" and started public speaking at the age of 15.

[12] In January 1997, Lew Rockwell commissioned Hülsmann to write a Mises biography, a project that he would eventually complete in 2007.

[13] His 2008 book The Ethics of Money Production[14] has been translated into German, French, Italian, Romanian, Polish, Chinese, Persian, Spanish, and Turkish.

Hülsmann is one of the leading theorists of the Austrian School, but he has always looked at issues in an original way, and that quality is manifested 'abundantly' in this outstanding book.

"[23] He has also become known as an economist who correctly anticipated the financial crisis of 2001;[24] as a staunch critic of fractional-reserve banking;[25] as a critic of the time-preference theory of interest;[26] for his "reconsideration" of Austrian Capital Theory, opening new perspectives on the venerable Cambridge capital controversy;[27] and as a proponent of the idea that economic laws are counterfactual a priori laws, rather than empirical regularities.
