Liberalism: The Classical Tradition (Liberty Fund Library of the Works of Ludwig Von Mises)

From start to finish, Ludwig Von Mises makes an eloquent take on what Liberalism started out as, developed into and what it ought to do, instead of the newly revised takes on the subject we see today that are pushed in our faces, albeit which started over a century ago.

A good introduction into the writings on Mises and writing on the topic of liberalism in general. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about the philosophical foundations of the Austrian School and on liberalist thought in the early 20th century.

A must for anyone seeking clear-headed, logical economic thinking in the wilderness of muddle that engulfs us these days.

Excellent book and great value from Amazon

A great essay on political philosophy, this book sets out the practical and theoretical foundations on which the idea of ​​liberalism is based according to the eminent Austrian economist and following its classical-conservative tradition to distinguish it from consolidated modern liberalism, later with the New Deal in the United States.Grounded in the principles of voluntary cooperation, limited government, individual liberty, private property, and tolerance, liberalism (argues Mises) is conceived as the doctrine of harmony between the properly understood interests of all members of a free society.It should be noted that Mises does an important job in rescuing the liberal tradition at a time when a global storm was brewing with the rise of collectivism and totalitarianism, from the most "moderate" socialism to Stalinist communism and Italian fascism. . Our author exposes the errors of these currents, contrasting them with the domestic, economic, foreign and social policies of the liberal model, concluding that the correct way to deal with the problems posed by the various ideological expressions must be worked with the value of Liberty as a guiding shaft.
