Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. \"Human Action: A Treatise on Economics\" is the first comprehensive treatise on economics written by a leading member of the modern Austrian school of economics.

Individuals act, choose, cooperate, compete, and trade with one another. In this way Mises explained how complex market phenomena develop. Mises did not simply describe economic phenomena - prices, wages, interest rates, money, monopoly and even the trade cycle - he explained them as the outcomes of countless conscious, purposive actions, choices, and preferences of individuals, each of whom was trying as best as he or she could under the circumstances to attain various wants and ends and to avoid undesired consequences. Hence the title Mises chose for his economic treatise, \"Human Action.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1614273545\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1614273545.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Von Mises, Ludwig\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
