Mises attributes the tremendous technological progress and also the resulting increase in wealth and general welfare within the last 2 centuries to the introduction of liberal government policies supported free-market economic teachings, making associate degree economic and political surroundings which allows people to pursue their various goals in freedom and peace. Mises conjointly explains the uselessness and counter-productiveness of presidency tries to control, control, and equalize all people's circumstances: "Men ar born unequal and ... it's exactly their difference that generates social cooperation and civilization.

Really, Italian people need to have this book. In Italy Human Action has been published only once around '57. There's only few copies and NO ONE knows it. As you can see, neither Wikipedia Italia knows it. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Action" target="_blank"> ;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Action Danish people have it, German people have it, French people have it. Even Korean and Polish have it. As you can imagine, we know very well that **** of book: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_General_Theory_of_Employment,_Interest_and_Money" target="_blank"> ;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_General_Theory_o... In Italian: <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teoria_generale_dell'occupazione,_dell'interesse_e_della_moneta" target="_blank"> ;http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teoria_generale_dell... A BIG article, with a lot of explanation.... So please have mercy of us, put on internet the ebook of the italian version.

I have the hard-back version of this book, and it's fantastic, but I STRONGLY discourage getting the digital addition that's offered here because of numerous typos and grammar errors. Example; the word DIE frequently appears where they word THE should be, and every once and awhile, the text will taper off and run smack into the next point. The digital addition of this book needs to be re-done, that's just all there is to it.

As mentioned earlier, the book, and all others on mises.org, is easily converted to the native Kindle format, *.mobi, with the program Calibre. Unfortunately, it renders a few tiny errors and the chapter navigation doesn't work. However, you can use the Table of Contents (which strangely does work), "click" on chapters and add your own bookmarks if you really want them. You can then easily browse from chapter to chapter by going to Menu and then Show Notes/Bookmarks. By the way, I just finished it and was blown away. Many, many thanks to mises.org for making it available online!

My hard cover is a treasure but the ePub, along with the ePub study guide on an iPad2, makes for a very powerful learning tool.

I did the same, but it seems that I couldn't navigate from chapter to chapter because the progress bar is not segmented as usual. I could open "table of content" though. Do you have the same problem?

I "only" have two copies of Human Action. I just purchased a used blue paperback 3rd edition as a "working" copy because I don't have the heart to incur any further wear on my signed copy of the 1963 edition (purchased a few years ago). Does anyone have any idea how many copies of the "butchered" 1963 edition were printed? Despite it's shortcomings the "Master's signature makes it a treasure to me.

You gotta love this book. Human Action is the most efficient book when it comes to political economy you will ever own. It was the most powerful defense of the economics of liberty ever written.

I put the epub version of this book on kindle using the calibre software and it works beautifully. The formatting is good, the links are preserved and the reading is convenient. I would highly recommend it for all potential readers.

I would check Students For Liberty to see if they have any affiliated student groups in Vegas. I'm sure they can find a happy recipient

oh! that's very kind of, Don Duncan. *drooling drooling* I wish I could have those books (I only have the ebooks with me now), but maybe I'm not your appropriate recipient. I'm in Asia, doing literature.

I have this book and many others like it which I would like to donate. Does anyone know where in the Las Vegas area I can find the appropriate recipient?
