Titlul original: Economic Policy. Thoughts for Today and for Tomorrow, Free Market Books, 1995.

Six lectures given by Mises in Buenos Aires in 1958, originally published as Economic Policy. Thoughts for today and for Tomorrow in 1979. The fact that the lectures were addressed to beginners makes them an ideal short introduction to the Austrian School and the Misesian way of thinking. Moreover, the book is important for its clear treatment of issues that are essential for the existence of an orderly society. Understanding these issues or changing one's views with respect to them, in the direction suggested by Mises, resembles a sudden environmental improvement, like a passage out of the dark and into the light. The book is also admirable for its robust continuity from one lecture to the next, this being an additional reason to read it, time and again.
