To understand economics, you have to understand people. Interventionism: An Economic Analysis looks at the work of Ludwig von Mises, an Austrian economist who has gained renown among his peers even with his teachings that went against mainstream economic theory. Stating that economy must be free or controlled and not something in between, his thoughts, while not popular, have proven quite thoughtful and prove to be required reading for blossoming economists. Interventionism is a thoughtful study and solid addition to any community library economics collection.

This reprint of the original 1940 work of Austrian School economist Ludwig von Mises provides renewed access to one of the major works of this important pillar of radical free-market economic libertarianism. Von Mises argues for a binary analysis of political influence on economies, that there is only the natural state of a totally free economic system or socialist dictatorship and that an interventionist "third way" that seeks to regulate business for the betterment of society in fact simply damages both.
