Money, Method, and the Market Process
After Ludwig von Mises’s death in 1973, his wife, Margit von Mises, went through his unpublished and out-of-print essays and selected twenty-one of the essays for publication. The result was Money, Method, and the Market Process. The essays here touch on almost every aspect of economic and social theory that Mises considered of paramount importance. The essays were written from the 1930s to the 1960s, so they serve as a wide sampling of Mises’s thought on a range of subjects, and they are arranged thematically. This volume fills an important gap in providing an overview of Ludwig von Mises's best academic work.
