Between the Two World Wars: Monetary Disorder, Interventionism, Socialism, and the Great Depression

by Ludwig von Mises, Richard M. Ebeling (Editor), Paolo M. Gomez

In 1934, Ludwig von Mises left his native Austria in fear of the Nazis, who seized all his papers in 1938 in Vienna and, Mises thought, destroyed them, but the papers were not destroyed. In 1996, Richard and Anna Ebeling discovered the papers in an archive in Moscow. This volume from Liberty Fund represents a treasure trove of important essays. Ludwig von Mises (1881–1973) was the leading spokesman of the Austrian School of economics throughout most of the twentieth century. Richard Ebeling is Professor of Economics at Northwood University.

Reviews

[Chris Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is amazing that these essays exist. If you have read human action, some essays will only make for a refresher, but the explorations of current issues are as relevant today as they were then.
