Man, Economy, and State: A treatise on economic principles is a 1962 book ofAustrian Schooleconomics byMurray Rothbard (orig. abridged ed.).[a] It was originally intended as a textbook form ofHuman Action byLudwig von Mises, but became its own treatise after he realized original work was needed to flesh out Mises' ideas.[2]
According toSalerno, the bookPower and Market: Government and the Economy "was originally written as the third volume ofMan, Economy, and State, but was published separately eight years later".[3][4] It was reunited with the 4th edition ofMan, Economy, and State in 2004 in the volume sub-titled "The Scholar's Edition" from theLudwig von Mises Institute.[3][5] The author analyzes the negative effects of the various kinds ofgovernment intervention, and argues that theState is neither necessary nor useful.[citation needed]
The final section, Power and Market, appeared later in a separate volume in 1970 published by the Institute for Humane Studies, a spin-off from the now- defunct William Volker Fund.
