Planned Chaos
A short, devastating analysis of the 'middle of the road' policies that mix markets with planning. Mises argues that interventionism is unstable — each intervention creates new problems that demand further intervention, until the system collapses into full socialism. A prescient warning for the modern welfare state.
This is one of the most important works in the liberty tradition — essential for any serious student of free markets and individual rights.
