The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality (LvMI) (English Edition) eBook Kindle

4,7 4,7 de 5 estrelas 532 avaliações de clientes

In 1954, after a lifetime of serious theoretical work in economic science, Mises turned his attention to one of the great puzzles of all time: discovering why the intellectuals hate capitalism. The result is this socio-psycho-cultural analysis informed by economic theory.

Mises explores answers from a wide variety of angles and discusses the nature of academic institutions, popular culture, and how vices like jealousy and envy affect theory. All play a role in preventing people from seeing the self-evident benefits of economic freedom relative to controls. His comments on the resentment of the intellectuals cut very deeply. Mises shrewdly teases the anticapitalist bias out of contemporary fiction and popular culture generally.

In the course of his narrative, he explains aspects of the market that have generally eluded even its defenders. For example, is it true that markets dumb down the culture, exalting trashy novels and movies over higher-brow fare? Mises points out that the tastes of the masses will always and everywhere be lower than those of the educated and cultivated. But, he says, the glory of capitalism is that it brings to every sector what it wants and needs — and more of it than any other system. So, yes, there will be more trash, but also more great work as well. It is a matter of availability: Under socialism, nothing is available. Under capitalism, choice seems nearly infinite.

It's remarkable how his narrative applies to our time, even more than when it was written.

The style of this volume is more casual than you will find elsewhere. In some sense, it is more thrilling for it. The reader senses that Mises has unleashed a lifetime of frustration here, and shined a very bright light on some dark corners of opinion.

    This is some of the greatest books you could ever read about: sociology, economy and psychology.
    In this book Mises describe why does the society almost always tenda to socialism. He also tears apart the most common arguments used by communists theorists, such as Marx.
    This book is really important if you want to understand better the capitalism ideology, and what it brings about, it is totally recommended. But sometimes you will need to read that twice to understand what Mises wanted to say, because some sentences may sound pretty awkward. It's totally worth it though!

    As you start reading the book you realize that the essay is a personal opinion on anti-capitalism and that is not actually a bad thing because Mises opinions are based on facts and empirism.
    Mises depicts how feelings like hate and envy have flourished sentiments against the capitalistic system – system of which is responsible for every luxury, liberty and comfort of modern life. Additionally, his explanations include why different social classes have much more dislike on the capital system – like artists and intellectuals for example – and how contradictory it looks like because they have been the biggest winners of the system.
    He also gives a few shallow lessons on why wages are so different and why they are justified by the market rather than unjust, like progressives usually say. His examples include the difference between the status society and the modern capitalism showing how the former is unjust and restrictive.
    You end up concluding that the free market while giving opportunity to all people also sows objection between the ones that failed in capitalistic life. Even though there are different levels of failure and a simple comparison between two differently waged workers may seem like a failure to the less waged.
    Summarizing, this is an argument helper for those who wish to defend liberty against the imposion of socialism.

    Ludwig has identified many characteristics of the anti capitalistic- socialist movement.
    For example the seething resentment that Nietzsche wrote of.
    All In all a comprehensive study of those socialists of today.
    Marx's theories are once again debunked with this historical perspective.

    Must read für alle die noch nicht erkannt haben wo der Schuh des Wohlfahrts-/Sozialstaat drückt.
    Wie stets bei Mises sehr Präzise!

    In this little gem, Von Mises is able to explain succintly and with no sugar added the flawed "reasoning" behind socialims and much of today's occupy-somewhere movements. It clearly explains something which is obvious but rarely put into words, which is how capitalism is but a very accurate measure of each individual's worth in terms of its contribution to society. The value of that contribution is the value of the individual. There are no special privileges or guardian angels. The harder and stricter demands that any merit-based system, such as Capitalism, imposes on the individual makes a strong counter-feeling to appear. Von Mises is very accurate in his diagnose. Von Mises introduces a very anthropological outlook, defining envy as the major driving factor in the origin of this loathe of Capitalism on those who rank lowest in the meritocratic system. Naturally, those with less talent or merits are the ones who will most loudly shout against such a system and invoke the intervention of a bigger power that coerces and breaks the system into giving them a better place without having necessarily to procur it for themselves by working harder and contributing better. So you could say this book is a lucid and compelling insight into human reactions to capitalism.

    55 years have passed but the book clearly pinpoints many specific ways of thinking, well-spread memes and elements of political discourse that even a very casual observer will be able to recognize from daily TV. Needless to say, Von Mises has a clearer mind, sharper tongue and synthesis capabilities that 99.9% tv hosts and guests, so you should be reading this short opus to gain a better understanding of the prevalent mode of thought today and see through the blatant lies and the "FUD" spewed out by most actors in this game. Having said that, it must also be noticed that the tone of the book can be felt as abusive and overbearing by readers, since Von Mises voices his opinions and insights in a very "cocksure" way.

    There is only one part of the book where the tone gets a bit more lost and which I didn't find so relevant, which is most of the "Literature Under Capitalism" chapter. However, that does not diminish the value and relevance of the book. A
