Ludwig von Mises is to economics what Albert Einstein is to physics. Human Action is his greatest work: a systematic study that covers every major topic in the science of economics. It is also one of the most convincing indictments of socialism and statism ever penned. When it first appeared in 1949, it ignited an eruption of critical acclaim. Rose Wilder Lane wrote, "I think Human Action is unquestionably the most powerful product of the human mind in our time, and I believe it will change human life for the better during the coming centuries as profoundly as Marxism has changed all of our lives for the worse in this century." Henry Hazlitt wrote, "It should become the leading text of anyone who believes in freedom, in individualism, and in a free market economy." This book is a universally recognized classic in the field of modern economics.

Very Very very long. While everything in this audio book was good, all, or nearly all, was repated from what I had learned in my week at "Rothbard University" If you want an introduction to Economics, this is far too much. If you want an audio book, this is probably too long for it to be of use, if you want a reference as to why free markets work, this is a good one. returnreturnAs usual I again recommend purchasing the dead tree version, but cannot recommend the audio book with only 3 stars.
