Biographical Note
George Koether was a journalist, speechwriter, businessman, lecturer, economist, a friend to Ludwig and Margit von Mises,
and a longtime ambassador for Misesian economics. He was born on July 28, 1907, in Newark, New Jersey. He grew up in Detroit,
Michigan, and attended Albion College in Michigan, where he studied journalism. He also studied business administration at
Columbia University, New York.
In 1930, Koether married Viola B. Kennedy and began his journalism career, as a copy editor for
Look Magazine in 1943 and later serving as the automotive and transportation editor in 1952. Koether was a three-time awardee of the Ted
V. Rodgers Journalism Award for outstanding articles and editorials on highway improvement and use, and contributed articles
about the automotive industry for the
World Book Encyclopedia. Koether also wrote for the
The Saturday Evening Post,
Architectural Forum, and
Christian Economics, on many topics ranging from currency and inflation to politics and economics. In the 1940s and 1950s, Koether began correspondence
with Henry L. Hazlitt, editor of,
The Freeman, who encouraged Koether to write for the publication.
In 1958, Koether worked as a public relations official for the United States Steel Corporation in New York, and he was a member
of the Public Relations Society of America in the 1960s. He also served on the staff of organizations such as the Foundation
for Economic Education (FEE) and the Christian Freedom Foundation.
Koether also served as lecturer for the University of Michigan, the New York Civic Education Forum, and the Ludwig von Mises
Institute at Auburn College, Alabama.
In the 1970s, Koether served as chairman for the Committee for Monetary Research and Education, Inc. Around 1976, Koether
produced a series of audio-visual films on free market economics and monetary policy. While working for Ingersoll-Rand Corporation,
Koether wrote a series of educational materials for employees on economics. Similar curricula was developed and targeted for
the layperson at other corporations and schools.
During the 1980s and throughout his retirement, Koether was a benefactor to the Ludwig von Mises Institute at Auburn College.
He passed away March 22, 2006.
