Product Description
by Ludwig Von Mises (Author)
Human Action: A Treatise on Economics is a comprehensive work on economic theory and its application to human behavior. Written by Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises in 1949, the book covers a wide range of topics including the nature of human action, the role of economics in society, the principles of market economics, and the effects of government intervention in the economy.Mises argues that human action is purposeful and that economic behavior is driven by the pursuit of individual goals and desires. He emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and property rights in creating a prosperous and peaceful society, and he criticizes socialist and interventionist economic policies as harmful to economic growth and individual liberty.The book is divided into six parts, covering topics such as the theory of action, the market economy, money and credit, entrepreneurship, and government intervention in the economy. Mises' writing is highly analytical and rigorous, but also accessible to non-economists.Human Action has been widely influential in the field of economics and has been translated into numerous languages. It is considered a classic work of economic theory and a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the principles of market economics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
