Final Considerations Bibliography IndexReviews'A leading scholar in the tradition of the Austrian School of Economics, Professor Jesus Huerta de Soto presents a powerful analysis of socialism in a book dedicated to Ludwig von Mises, who underlined the theoretical failures of socialism and opened the famous economic calculation debate of the 1920s and 1930s. Then, as now, economic crises were widely attributed to freedom, business and markets. Then, as now, it was necessary to indicate the interventionist origins of trade cycles, the negative effects of economic policies, the crucial positive force of entrepreneurship, and the intellectual errors and terrible practical consequences of the enemies of liberty. Huerta de Soto's is, accordingly, a very timely book.'--Carlos Rodriguez Braun, Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain 'A leading scholar in the tradition of the Austrian School of Economics, professor Jesus Huerta de Soto presents a powerful analysis of socialism in a book dedicated to Ludwig von Mises, who underlined the theoretical failures of socialism and opened the famous economic calculation debate of the 1920s and 1930s.
