I have a copy of this. Are the ideas he expresses in his work "Socialism" pertaining to socialism also contained in "Human action"? I'm asking because if the same arguments are made twice, I wouldn't be willing to invest time in reading two of his works, whereas if the content is quite different, I might be willing to do so.

I do not think there is an idea missing. Therefore it is less focused on each idea, and the argumentation is not strong in this book or sometimes a bit complex, what is very interesting is that he describes a situation that is 100% in the era of time in 2021.
I did not finish it yet but it is already an economic bible for me.

I read more than 2/3 of the book and he is only starting with socialism, so you have many other ideas outside of this one.
