I am on the verge to start reading Mises magnum opus and decided to read Murphy's study guide as a preperation. The book is structured in the same way as Human Action with a summary of each chapter followed by study questions. I understood the reasoning most of the time but every now and then I thought that the case made by Murphy wasn't solid. Since he tried to fit roguhly 1000 pages in a short study guide I guess I can't blame him. All in all I now know what awaits me and I believe the reading of Human Action will be easier having read this book.

Excellent companion to Mises’s Human Action.
