Planned Chaos by Ludwig von Mises
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 0.4MB
Overview: In “Planned Chaos”, Ludwig von Mises delivers a concise but forceful critique of central planning. He argues that replacing market coordination with state control destroys the price system, suppresses individual choice, and inevitably results in economic disorder rather than stability.
Key Themes or Insights
Mises explains how interventionism, once applied broadly, leads directly to socialism. Without free prices to guide production and investment, rational economic calculation becomes impossible, capital formation collapses, and political coercion replaces voluntary exchange.
Style and Usefulness
First published in 1947, this brief work distills Mises’s economic philosophy into a clear, accessible indictment of planned economies. It remains a relevant and persuasive warning against the enduring appeal of central planning.
