This book is very radical in the true sense of that term: it gets to the root of the problem of government and provides a rethinking of the whole organization of society.
Mises discusses Marx and his place in the history of ideas, the destruction wrought by his dangerous ideology, the manner in which his followers have covered up his errors, and how the Marxists themselves have worked for so long to save Marxism from itself.
This collection of essays is both a restatement and extension of the major contributions of Mises in epistemology, history, economics, and political philosophy.
