This short book marked his official venture into psychology. We should be grateful today for its insight. His deconstruction of those opposed to free markets indicates that he had a far better understanding of humanity than do the majority of psychologists.What impresses most about The Anti-capitalistic Mentality is just how prescient a work it is. The failures of socialism were evident in the 1950s but not as glaring as they are in 2008. Yet this truth does not prevent our politicians from continuing to push for more and more government expansion. The concomitant disruption and diminution of the private sector is discounted entirely. The experiences of Soviet Russia, the Warsaw Pact countries, and the vivid and ongoing failures of communist starvation zones like Cuba and North Korea are pooh-poohed by those desirous of further empowering the Leviathan. In light of what America has become, Von Mises' elucidation of the enemies of capitalism is more pertinent than ever.It is the common man who benefits most from capitalism. He profits from those who save, who invest, and who engage in entrepreneurial activities. These individuals expand the economy, elevate wages, and employ him directly. More importantly, there are no structural barriers which prevent him from joining the ranks of such persons.In the final analysis, to hate capitalism is to hate liberty as only within the framework of personal choice can one choose an education, a vocation, and course of life that suits them. The laissez-faire philosophy is what put an end to slavery and serfdom. Nobody born poor in a free society is destined to poverty. How ironic it is that so many anti-capitalists describe themselves as being "liberal" when there is nothing liberal about stealing the dreams and futures of those you regard as nothing more than wards or mascots.Psychologizing proved a very elementary feat for Ludwig von Mises. His deconstruction and refutation of the anti-capitalist outlook was a noble undertaking. He flamboyantly paraded its irrationality for all to see over fifty years ago, but it is now up to us to popularize his forgotten, but exquisite, argumentation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grate content but the font is too big. *by S*** on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2022* Very interesting ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Capitalism or socialism *by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2008* The editor tells us the book is a study of "why so many persons are anti-capitalists and as a result are attracted to socialism and communism". He also says the book deals with "the ideas and opinions and psychological reasons of people for acting". Mises (1881-1973) was the leading spokesman of the Austrian school, the subjective-value marginal-utility theory of economics. He fled to the U.S. during W.W.II and spent the rest of his life here. This was written in the 50's, although it feels as if it was written today, only now the condition is more wide spread. Mises saw these conditions and mind-sets clearly in its early stages. Did we hear him? Mises says "it is the task of this essay to analyze this anti-capitalistic bias and to disclose its roots and its consequences".This thesis deals with the philosophy, sociology, and mentality of the man, driven by envy and hatred, who despises the rich and our free market capitalism. I was surprisingly pleased that it was clear, concise, and very readable. Mises delivers good arguments refuting the critics.Mises helped clear up some confusion on why wealthy individuals (not always the ignorant masses) succumb to a socialistic-communist mentality even though their wealth came from a capitalistic society. The effects of this mentality run much deeper than you would have thought. An illusion has been created; and how apropos for today. But we can prevent this enslavement by an "open and unrestricted support of laissez-faire capitalism". There are no mincing of words, it is either or (capitalism or socialism), or interventionism, for "a man who publicly talks or writes about the opposition between capitalism and socialism without having fully familiarized himself with all that economics has to say about these issues is an irresponsible babbler"."....the immense majority of the socialist intellectuals were convinced that in fighting for socialism they were fighting for freedom. They called themselves left-wingers and democrats, and nowadays they are even claiming for themselves the epithet 'liberal'"Wish you wellScott --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1705067-the-anti-capitalistic-mentality-paperback-november-13-2011](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1705067-the-anti-capitalistic-mentality-paperback-november-13-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
