Book Reviews of The Quotable Mises

Book Review: A masterful collection
Summary: 5 Stars

Dr. Thornton collects many quotes in a very concise, sharp, and organized way. The book is divided into topics as various as religion to business cycles. Ludwig Von Mises was an eminent thinker and hero that fought against socialism when it was very unfashionable. This quotebook will provide you a good reference for writing reports, giving quick retorts to those against the free society, and for other purposes. This is a book I would find that is akin to Harry Browne's 872 Libertarian Soundbites You Can Use Right Now. This is a great edition to the library of liberty and economics for people throughout the political spectrum.

Summary of The Quotable Mises

The Quotable Mises is 300-plus pages of some of the most thrilling words on politics and economics ever written. In some ways, it is the perfect introduction to Mises's thought, something that immediately grabs one's attention and gives a fast and accessible presentation of the range of his ideas. The content is Mises in a brand-new way, in a way that you have never encountered him before. Each page exudes energy and wisdom. After we sent it to Bettina-Bien Greaves, she wrote us to say: "A thrilling project, a thorough job, and a marvelous result. The Quotable Mises performs a great service." The biggest struggle in putting the book together was not in finding enough quotes but in limiting the number. The editor tried to provide a representative list of topics and subjects that Mises is most famous for such as socialism, bureaucracy, interventionism, money, government, and war. But he also included many subject areas for which Mises is not often quoted, including arts, fate, health, instinct, martyrdom, religion, and youth. Most economists don't write enough memorable material in an entire lifetime to fill 20 pages. But Mises was different. He was brilliant, brave, and tenacious. He could also write. He wanted to reach all people, not just specialists. This serves as an introduction and guide to his thought, or even a kind of concordance, all in his own words. Mostly it is a means for putting Mises's ideas in even greater circulation.
