Socialism (book)

Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis is a book by Austrian School economist and classical liberal thinker^[1] Ludwig von Mises, first published in German by Gustav Fischer Verlag in Jena in 1922 under the title Die Gemeinwirtschaft: Untersuchungen über den Sozialismus.

Amongst other things, the book expanded Mises's views on the impossibility of economic calculation under socialism, which he had first developed in his influential 1920 article Economic Calculation in the Socialism Commonwealth. Murray Rothbard argued that Socialism was amongst the four most significant works of Mises's career, alongside The Theory of Money and Credit (1912), Human Action (1949), and Theory and History (1957).
