It's been almost 100 years since Mises literally wrote the book on socialism. His arguments against central economic planning, still acutely relevant today, have never been refuted—in theory or dismal practice. Joining the Human Action Podcast to discuss this monumental book is Dr. Shawn Ritenour (mises.org/ritenour), professor of economics at Grove City College and editor of the Mises Reader.
