<p id="interno">Ludwig von Mises was the acknowledged leader of the
Austrian School of economic thought, a prodigious originator in economic theory,
and a prolific author. Mises's writings and lectures encompassed economic theory,
history, epistemology, government, and political philosophy. His contributions to
economic theory include important clarifications on the quantity theory of money,
the theory of the trade cycle, the integration of monetary theory with economic theory
in general, and a demonstration that socialism must fail because it cannot
solve the problem of economic calculation. Mises was the first scholar to
recognize that economics is part of a larger science in human action, a science
that he called "praxeology."</p>

<h3>Here is a list with a short description of Ludwig von Mises major works:</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p><b>Human Action - </b>Mises's book is the best defense of capitalism ever
written. It covers basic economics through the most advanced material.
Reading this book is the best way you could ever dream up to learn economics.
Every attempt to study economics should include a thorough examination
of this book.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>The Theory of Money and Credit - </b>Mises shows how money had its origin in
the market, and how its value is based on its usefulness as a commodity in exchange.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Liberalism: In the Classical Tradition - </b>It was written to address the burning question:
if not socialism, and if not fascism or interventionism, what form of social
arrangements are most conducive to human flourishing? Mises's answer is summed up in the title,
by which he meant classical liberalism.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality - </b>In 1954, after a lifetime of
serious theoretical work in economic science, Mises
turned his attention to one of the great puzzles of all time:
discovering why the intellectuals hate capitalism. The result is this
socio-psycho-cultural analysis informed by economic theory.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Planning for Freedom; and Twelve other Essays and Addresses - </b>In this makes the
point that the choice isn't between a planned economy and an unplanned one but rather
one between government planning and planning by property owners.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Nation, State, and Economy - </b>It is in this book that Mises first
advances his idea of secessionism. Every people group ought to be
permitted to choose their own political arrangements, even if they end
up in tiny geographical units. With free trade, smaller units of government
become completely viable.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science - </b>The principal axiom
of this book is the outstanding fact about the contemporary ideological
situation is that the most popular political doctrines aim at totalitarianism,
the thorough abolition of the individual's freedom to choose and to act.
No less remarkable is the fact that the most bigoted advocates of such a
system of conformity call themselves scientists, logicians, and philosophers.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Economic Policy: Thoughts for Today and Tomorrow - </b>It is a explanation
of the basics of economic policy: private property, free trade, exchange,
prices, interest, money and inflation, socialism, fascism, investment, and
much more, he addresses the many merits of market institutions and the
dangers of intervention.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis - </b>Socialism addresses the contemporary issues
of economic inequality and argues that wealth can exist for long periods only to the extent
that wealthy producers succeed in satisfying the consumers. Mises shows that there is no
tendency to monopoly in a true free market system.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>A Critique of Interventionism - </b>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 which can be
logically avoided only by a sharp turn towards free markets.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Bureaucracy - </b>Mises explains that the core choice we
face is between rational economic organization by market prices or
the arbitrary dictates of government bureaucrats. There is no third way.
And here he explains how it is that bureaucracies can't manage anything well
or with an eye for economics at all.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Liberty and Property - </b>Mises describes the revolutionary
meaning of capitalism in human history, and how it was responsible
for the most spectacular increases in the standard of living of the
common man ever. It was mass production that lead people to live longer,
healthier, and happier lives.
