The Mises Reader Unabridged Part 2 TAGS  Austrian Economics Overview 04/10/2018 Ludwig von Mises The Mises Reader is intended to give a taste of the many facets of Mises’s thought in a way that accessibly communicates most of his key contributions to the social sciences. It therefore includes excerpts from his larger and more technically demanding works side-by-side with shorter, more introductory articles and lectures. The finished product is sort of an intelligent person’s guide to the work of Ludwig von Mises. It is especially suitable for those with an interest in Mises, but find jumping right into Human Action, Socialism, or The Theory of Money and Credit rather daunting. The hope is to give the reader a survey of Mises’s insights in a format that nourishes his intellectual soul, while also whetting the appetite for his larger corpus of work.  Narrated by Millian Quinteros. This audio book is made available through the generosity of Mr. Tyler Folger. Download audio file READ MORE
