Human Action Study Guide: A Guided Tutorial of Ludwig von Mises's Classic Work

Human Action is the core text of the Austrian School and the most rigorous and extended defense of the free economy ever written. Everyone knows of the difficultly of the book, which is matched only by its centrality to a thorough understanding of economic logic and the free society. Now, Robert Murphy managed to create the very first guide, and he does it with great authority and attention to detail. The Human Action Study Guide is complete with summaries, notes, and study questions written by Amadeus Gabriel, a top student of the Misesian approach.

  • This first-ever Human Action Study Guide contains the summary, why it matters, technical notes, and study questions for readers.

  • Human Action Study Guide is a one-stop reference for the Austrian School.

  • This guide also includes a summary of each section of the work, giving historical context, a discussion of why it matters, technical notes for each section, and concluding with study questions.
