Description 

In Socialism, Ludwig von Mises illustrated how Marxism will always fail.

In Liberalism, he made the case for a free society.
 
In Interventionism, he tackled the world we live in now!
 
After the failures of socialism became clear to most of civilized society, central planners began to focus on the "third way." 
 
Rather than seizing the means of production, interventionism gives government indirect control of most of everyday life. Markets may still exist, but a regime of taxes, tariffs, price controls, and a growing regulatory state gives the State ever growing control over what is produced and how it should be produced. The result is instability, resulting in ever greater government control — a road to socialism — or a restoration of a truly free market. 
 
Written in the 1920s, Mises's critique is as important now as ever before.
