First
published in 1949. If you can only read one book on
economics...this is it ! This is a systematic study of the
manifold activities of human beings in search of food, shelter,
and the variety of goods they have come to need. Only the free
market and free enterprise, the author argues, can produce that
outpouring of goods and services that is democratically
controlled by the daily decisions of buyers. First published in
1949, HUMAN ACTION has become one of the classic books of modern
economics.
