This book is likely the best thing I’ve ever invested in. Mises is a ferocious thinker - he wastes few words in this tome of a book and he dispels myth after myth. While few people will likely have the patience to read from front to back, this book builds inexorably upon itself to give the reader powerful insights into human action, economics, and the siren call of government intervention. Can not recommend this more highly. If I could recommend people read one book in their lifetime, it is this.
