Human action
A Treatise on Economics
Book • 1940
Human Action is Ludwig von Mises' magnum opus, where he defends an a priori foundation for praxeology and methodological individualism.
The book argues that the free-market economy outdistances any government-planned system and serves as the foundation of civilization.
Mises explains complex market phenomena as the outcomes of countless conscious, purposive actions and choices of individuals.
He critiques government attempts to regulate and control economic activities, emphasizing the futility and counter-productiveness of such interventions.
The book is a systematic treatment of the whole body of social and economic relations, integrating various economic problems into a comprehensive system.
