About This Item
Princeton, NJ: D. Van Nostrand Company, Inc, 1956. First edition of this powerful work by the famed economist. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Ludwig von Mises on the title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Uncommon signed. The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality by Austrian School economist and libertarian thinker Ludwig von Mises is an investigation into the psychological roots of the anti-capitalistic stance that is widespread in segments of the general population of the capitalist world. Von Mises suggests various reasons for this mentality, primarily his claim that free competition in the market economy allows no excuses of one's failures. Rather, he argues, it creates great incentive for one's desire for improvement and greater effort to succeed, as well as a greater reward for that success.
