The anti-capitalistic mentality
Book • 1956
In this book, Ludwig von Mises examines the psychological and sociological reasons why many intellectuals and the general public harbor anti-capitalist sentiments.
He argues that the core of socialism is rooted in envy and the inability to accept the unequal distribution of talents and abilities.
Mises discusses how capitalism allows consumers to make their own decisions, leading to a system where producers serve the masses and wealth is acquired by serving consumer needs.
He also addresses how resentment towards successful individuals fuels anti-capitalist attitudes and how this mentality is influenced by various cultural and academic factors.
