Perhaps the world's foremost economist, he sums up here his views on what man can know in a social science like economics; how this kind of knowledge differs from historical learning, metaphysics, or the physical sciences; and how it may he put to work for the shaping of both ends and means in the Western world. This is the economic philosophy of one of the original, untrammeled minds of this century. It is the work of an unshakeable champion of the individual and his need to make his own choices, and even mistakes, in his search for the good things of life. Ludwig von Mises is internationally known as the leading exponent of the Austrian School of Economics and is the author of a shelf of major books dealing with economic theory and social practice.
