Mises gives some really good insights solely rellying on logic, which is a fundamental characteristic of the free market thinkers, and that really pleases me.
I also think he could've talked more about socialist countries and marxist ideology in the last chapters, in which he talks about economical concepts. But overall, it's a great book. ( )

Mises discussion of Marxism is an amazing collection of the transcripts of his series of talks given in 1952. The most amazing thing about it is that it is both dated and how much it applies to our current political and economic upheaval. It is dated in that many remarks and illustrations come from the early days of the cold war. Burt if you follow his parallels and topics, many of the examples and warnings are born out today.

He takes on communism directly; but he also looks into socialism and capitalism, popular government and dictatorship, majorities and minorities. He takes on inflation and command economies. I have gotten more quotations that I wish to remember than from any work of a similar length since reading Bastiat. To give just a sample: "Capitalism wouldn’t have developed if government interference with prices and wages had not been abandoned in the eighteenth century…. capitalism is not dying; people are murdering it."

While there are more profound works be Mises, there are none I would recommend more highly. ( )
