The best criticism of Marxism I've read is in the introduction to Human Action by Mises where he shows that the concept of class struggle, specifically class itself, is illogical.
Also FWIW I have been upvoting you as you get downvoted.
- claudiawerner 6y agoRothbard (and later Mises) are both on my reading list, I'm nothing if not open-minded. Thanks.
- googthrowaway42 6y agoPersonally I would recommend starting with Human Action by Mises as it represents essentially the purest distillation of that school of thought and the culmination of a lot of Mises' earlier works. Rothbard studied under Mises so it would serve as a good introduction to him as well.
- Consultant32452 6y agoI highly recommend Rothbard's Anatomy of the State as an excellent starting place. It's really short, practically a pamphlet.
- SiFiPi 6y agoAt the end of the day, when it comes to Ludwig von Mises, it's a question of whether or not you believe humans have free will. If you've studied long enough to become a neurologist, you find that free will is laughable.
- deadgunslinger 6y agoDo people that have studied long enough to become a neurologist, find this laughable out of their own free will?
