Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0910884153, Paperback)Omnipotent Government is not only a history of the fall of Germany, but also a powerful critique of the political, social, and economic ideologies that have shaped Western history in the last two hundred years. The ordeal of two World Wars, according to Mises, was the inevitable result of ideologies that call upon government for the management of human affairs. People today hail every step toward more government as "progress," and call for more laws, regulations, and their enforcement by courts and police. They are yearning for Caesar. They forget the consequences of total government. Omnipotent Government is a potent reminder.(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:58:17 -0500) No library descriptions found. |

The historical value of the work was that it was written and published in English before most of his other and better work was translated. Unless you desire a full read of all his works, you’d be advised to skip this one and go directly to ‘Socialism’, ‘Interventionism’, ‘The Free-Market and its Enemies’, and his masterwork ‘Human Action’.
