Man, Economy, and State V1: A Treatise on Economic Principles (1962)

""Man, Economy, and State"" is a comprehensive treatise on economic principles written by Murray N. Rothbard and first published in 1962. The book is divided into six parts, covering topics such as the nature of economics, the theory of exchange, production and distribution, money and banking, and the role of government in the economy. Rothbard argues that economics is the study of human action, and that economic principles are derived from the actions of individuals in pursuit of their own interests. He emphasizes the importance of property rights and the free market, arguing that government intervention in the economy leads to inefficiency and distortion of market signals. The book also provides a detailed analysis of various economic concepts, such as marginal utility, opportunity cost, and the division of labor. Rothbard critiques mainstream economic theories, such as Keynesianism and monetarism, and offers an alternative perspective based on the Austrian School of Economics. Overall, ""Man, Economy, and State"" is a seminal work in the field of economics, offering a comprehensive and rigorous analysis of economic principles and their application to real-world problems.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
