Liberalism

Mises's Liberalism is a classic work in which the author defends the ideas of freedom, peace and liberalism. Although first published in 1927, its arguments in favour of liberty are as powerful today as they have ever been – if not more so. Among other things, the book explains why peace is so vital for economic growth, why socialism is unsustainable in the long run, why even the smallest regulation leads to ever-increasing bureaucracy, and why the tyranny of the majority over the minority is so dangerous.

This new edition features a new essay by Ludwig von Mises, Liberty and Property.
