Nation, State, and Economy: Contributions to the Politics & History of Our Time by Ludwig von Mises (Farsi)

Description

The book Nation, State, and Economy by Ludwig von Mises, first published in 1919, analyzes the economic and social consequences of World War I. Written during a time of political and economic upheaval, it examines the collapse of empires and the rise of new nation-states. Mises explores the relationship between economics, nationalism, and state power, arguing that economic policy should follow free-market principles rather than nationalist sentiment. He warns that protectionism and state intervention lead to inefficiency and hinder progress. The book emphasizes a minimal state that protects property, enforces contracts, and maintains order while avoiding extensive economic regulation. Mises also highlights that peace and prosperity depend on free trade, open markets, and international cooperation.
