I just started getting into economics a while back so im looking for a book that is well rounded on austrian economics. On my prowling on the store ive come to see the 2 main books on economics are Man, Economy, and State by rothbard or Human action by mises, so i was wondering which one should i get cause of limited funds or do you have any other choices?
Read Rothbard’s MES before you read Mises’s HA.
Here is Human Action in audio-form for free:
I’ve never read Rothbard’s MES, but I really believe Mise’s HA is extremely easy to understand. Plus, it confirmed my belief that he was one of the most amazing economists to ever live.
His argument for atheism is quite nice, too–a bonus I did not expect in an economics treatise!
If you want to dabble in neoclassical economics, I recommend David Friedman’s Price Theory.
I second krazy kaju. Read Man, Economy and State with Power and Market before reading Human Action. I recently finished MESPM, and I just started reading Human Action. It is definitely a little more challenging of a read, and I’m very glad to have the background of MESPM to help understand it more easily.
