Written in 1940, before the United States was officially involved in World War II, this book offers a rare insight into the war economies of Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy. Mises criticises the pre-World War II democratic governments for favouring socialism and interventionism over capitalist methods of production. Mises contends that government's economic role should be limited because of the negative political and social consequences of the economic policy of interventionism.

Ludwig von Mises(1881-1973) was the leading spokesman of the Austrian School of economics throughout most of the twentieth century. He earned his doctorate in law and economics from the University of Vienna in 1906. In 1926, Mises founded the Austrian Institute for Business Cycle Research. From 1909 to 1934, he was an economist for the Vienna Chamber of Commerce. Before the Anschluss, in 1934 Mises left for Geneva, where he was a professor at the Graduate Institute of International Studies until 1940, when he emigrated to New York City. From 1948 to 1969, he was a visiting professor at New York University. Bettina Bien Greaves is a former resident scholar, trustee, and longtime staff member of the Foundation for Economic Education. She has written and lectured extensively on topics of free market economics. Her articles have appeared in such journals as Human Events, Reason,and The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty.A student of Mises, Greaves has become an expert on his work in particular and that of the Austrian School of economics in general. She has translated several Mises monographs, compiled an annotated bibliography of his work, and edited collections of papers by Mises and other members of the Austrian School.
Ludwig von Mises was the leading exponent of the Austrian School of economics throughout most of the twentieth century. He has long been regarded as a most knowledgeable and respected economist, even though his teachings were generally outside the mainstream. He wrote twenty-five books and hundreds of articles on human action, free markets, and political economy.

작가정보

저자(글) von Mises, Ludwig

미제스는 오스트리아 학파의 일원이자 최고봉으로서, 소비자 민주주의 체제로서 시장경제의 성격을 분명히 밝혔으며, 개성이 없는 무차별의 개인이 아니라 상이한 욕구를 가지고 나름대로 합리적으로 행동하는 개인의 선호와 선택이 만들어내는 교환 및 제휴가 시장경제를 만든다고 했다. 미제스에게 경제학은 이러한 인간행동학 중 가장 세련된 과학이었다. 그는 인간행동학에 바탕을 두고 역학적(기계적) 세계관과 맞섰으며 수학적 경제학이나 계량경제학을 논박해 왔다. 1979년 영국의 대처리즘을 불러일으킨 하이에크, 1980년 레이거노믹스를 불러일으킨 프리드먼은 미제스와 함께 몽페를랭 협회의 회원이자 동지들이었다.
