Man, Economy, and State: A treatise on economic principles is a 1962 book of Austrian School economics by Murray Rothbard (orig. abridged ed.).[a] It was originally intended as a textbook form of Human Action by Ludwig von Mises, but became its own treatise after he realized original work was needed to flesh out Mises' ideas.[2]

According to Salerno, the book Power and Market: Government and the Economy "was originally written as the third volume of Man, Economy, and State, but was published separately eight years later".[3][4] It was reunited with the 4th edition of Man, Economy, and State in 2004 in the volume sub-titled "The Scholar's Edition" from the Ludwig von Mises Institute.[3][5] The author analyzes the negative effects of the various kinds of government intervention, and argues that the State is neither necessary nor useful.[citation needed]
Notes
edit- ^ a b c d e The original publisher deleted the final eight chapters from the original publication, so the 1962 book is effectively an abridged edition, although published instead as "Volume I".[1]: xliii In 1970, the abridged chapters were published as the title Power and Market.[1]: xliii The 2009[1] and later editions restore the chapters to a single volume, combining the discussion of both microeconomics and macroeconomics.
