Mises's 1957 critique of historical materialism and determinism, and a study of how the theory of human action differs from the study of history. The Liberty Fund edition of 2005, edited by Bettina Bien Greaves, presents the work in a new typeset text. Mises treats causation in history, the methods of the natural and human sciences, and the ideas of Marx and other determinists.
