Cover of the
Mises Institute's 2004 edition of ''Man, Economy, and State''.
'''Man, Economy, and State: A Treatise on Economic Principles''', first published in 1962, is a book on
economics by
Murray Rothbard, and is one of the most important books in the
Austrian School of economics (others are
Ludwig von Mises' ''
The Theory of Money and Credit'' and ''
Human Action'').
Economist Walter Block has described this volume as "excruciatingly brilliant."
[1]
When originally published in 1962, the final eight chapters were removed for political reasons; these were finally published as ''
Power and Market'' in 1970. The 2004 edition published by the
Ludwig von Mises Institute combines both books in a single volume. This book provides a discussion of both
microeconomics and
macroeconomics.
