Written in 1940, before the United States was officially involved in World War II, this book offers a rare insight into the war economies of Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy. Mises criticizes the pre-World War II democratic governments for favoring socialism and interventionism over capitalist methods of production. Mises contends that government's economic role should be limited because of the negative political and social consequences of the economic policy of interventionism. Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) was the leading spokesman of the Austrian School of economics throughout most of the twentieth century. Bettina Bien Greaves is a former resident scholar and trustee of the Foundation for Economic Education and was a senior staff member at FEE from 1951 to 1999. 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aCentral planning 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aCentral planning. 676 $a330.15/7 700 $aVon Mises$b Ludwig$f1881-1973.$068031 701 $aGreaves$b Bettina Bien$0297448 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960906003321 996 $aInterventionism$94447651 997 $aUNINA
