If Mises has an unheralded masterpiece, The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science is it. There are two senses in which this book is indeed ultimate: it deals with the very core of economics as a science, and it is the last book that he wrote. If you have never read this book, you will be struck by the fiery and determined prose and the

Mises wrote this book for the ages, and it remains the most spirited, thorough, and scientifically rigorous treatise on money to ever appear. It made his reputation across Europe and established him as the most important economist of his age. We think this Mises Institute edition is the most beautiful, by far, of any edition in print.

In 1954, after a lifetime of serious theoretical work in economic science, Mises turned his attention to one of the great puzzles of all time: discovering why the intellectuals hate capitalism. The result is this socio-psycho-cultural analysis informed by economic theory. Mises explores answers from a wide variety of angles, and discusses the

The Development of the Relationship between Peasant and Lord of the Manor in Galicia: 1772-1848 .

This volume might be called the Mises Reader , for it contains a wide sampling of his academic essays on money, trade, and economic systems. Some of them, like “Observations on the Cooperative Movement,” have not been published previously. Others, like “The Idea of Liberty Is Western,” have already made their mark on intellectual history.

Shortly after arriving in the United States, having fled a war-torn Europe, Ludwig von Mises sat down to complete his trilogy on economic systems. The result was this remarkably concise treatise, which tragically was not published until 1998. What Mises had foreseen was a world trapped between fully planned economies, which were clearly failing,
