Selected major works by Ludwig von Mises (1881–1973), one of the most notable economists and social philosophers of the twentieth century.
A Critique of Interventionism
In Mises’s view, interventionism is an inherently unstable policy because it creates new dislocations that would seem to cry out for further interventions, which, in turn, do not solve the problem. The end of interventionism is socialism, a fate avoided only by a sharp turn toward free markets.
The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality
Bureaucracy
The Causes of the Economic Crisis, and Other Essays Before and After the Great Depression
Economic Policy: Thoughts for Today and Tomorrow

Human Action
Human Action is Ludwig von Mises's full economic system, interconnected into a comprehensive system of the whole body of social and economic relations.
Liberalism: In the Classical Tradition
Liberty and Property

Nation, State, and Economy
Mises takes up the question of the proper political order to sustain the peace in the age of democracy. It was published less than a year after Austria's defeat in World War I, and examines and compares prewar and postwar political and economic conditions.
Omnipotent Government: The Rise of the Total State and Total War
Planning for Freedom; and Twelve other Essays and Addresses
The Quotable Mises
Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis
The Theory of Money and Credit
Mises shows how money had its origin in the market, and how its value is based on its usefulness as a commodity in exchange. In a step-by-step manner, Mises presents the case for sound money with no inflation and presents the beginnings of a full-scale business cycle theory.
