In Economic Growth with Social Justice : Shenoy cites Mises as authority for the foundational importance of private property in the means of production, using the Soviet collective-farm evidence to illustrate what Mises's insight implies in practice.
In Conditions for Economic Growth : Hutt cites Mises's concept of 'omnipotent government' to characterise the planning mentality that subordinates consumer sovereignty to state direction of the economy.
In Indian Planning and the Common Man : Mises appears alongside Hayek in the appendix's 21-item reading list — one of the classical-liberal authors Shenoy commends as the canon against which Indian planning should be measured.
In Bureaucracy and the Liberal Administrator : Mises is quoted on the bureaucratic strangulation of youthful talent to support Chakraverti's argument that the liberal administrator must dismantle hierarchical state structures.
In The Liberal Budget: Building an Equitable Society : Mises is quoted as the foundational authority on the distinction between liberalism and socialism — their shared goals but differing means — establishing the philosophical basis of the Liberal Budget.

Excerpts (2)
- Bureaucracy and the Liberal Administrator
- "As Ludwig von Mises put it: It is evident that youth is the first victim of the trend toward bureaucratisation. The young men are deprived of any opportunity to shape their own fate." — Mises's critique of bureaucratisation provides the theoretical grounding for the liberal administrator's anti-hierarchical ethos
- The Liberal Budget: Building an Equitable Society
- "As Ludwig von Mises, the great Liberal philosopher, put it, where the two differ is "not be the goal at which it aims, but the means that it chooses to attain the goal."" — Mises quoted to articulate the core liberal-vs-socialist distinction underpinning the entire budget exercise
