Showing results for "Ludwig Von Mises" in Social Sciences

Like F.A. Hayek, Ludwig von Mises moved beyond economics in his later years to address questions regarding the foundation of all social science. But unlike Hayek's attempts, Mises' writings on these matters have received less attention than they deserve. Theory and History, writes Rothbard in his introduction, "remains by far the most neglected masterwork of Mises". Here Mises defends his all-important idea of methodological dualism: one approach to the hard sciences and another for the social sciences.

A Short History of Man: Progress and Decline represents nothing less than a sweeping revisionist history of mankind, in a concise and listenable volume. Dr. Hans-Hermann Hoppe skillfully weaves history, sociology, ethics, and Misesian praxeology to present an alternative - and highly challenging - view of human economic development over the ages. As always, Dr. Hoppe addresses the fundamental questions as only he can.

Este minilivro é um resumo produzido a partir da obra original. As Seis Lições reúne as palestras ministradas, em 1959, por Ludwig von Mises na Universidade de Buenos Aires (UBA). O autor discute com clareza o capitalismo, o socialismo, o intervencionismo, a inflação, o investimento estrangeiro e as relações entre política e ideias. Em linguagem agradável, a obra apresenta as linhas gerais do pensamento misesiano sendo, ao mesmo tempo, uma das melhores introduções à Política e à Economia.
