Critique of Interventionism

Summary

In "Critique of Interventionism," Ludwig von Mises delves into the economic consequences and philosophical underpinnings of government intervention in the market. Mises argues that interventionism, which involves state interference in economic affairs while maintaining private ownership, inevitably leads to unintended consequences, distortions, and economic inefficiencies. The book is a critical analysis of interventionist policies, examining their impact on individual freedom, economic coordination, and the overall functioning of a market economy.
