Introductory Remarks
1. The Failure of Interventionism
2. The Dictatorial, Anti-democratic and Socialist Character of Interventionism
3. Socialism and Communism
4. Russia's Aggressiveness
5. Trotsky's Heresy
6. The Liberation of the Demons
7. Fascism
8. Nazism
9. The Teachings of the Soviet Experience
10. The Alleged Inevitability of Socialism
The title comes from Mises's description of the reality of central planning and socialism, whether of the national variety (Nazism) or the international variety
(communism). Rather than create an orderly society, the attempt to central plan has precisely the opposite effect. By short-circuiting the price mechanism and forcing
people into economic lives contrary to their own chosing, central planning destroys the capital base and creates economic randomness that eventually ends in killing
prosperity.
* New Paperback Edition available at the LvMI bookstore
This new edition (completely reset) of Planned Chaos features a new introduction by Chris Westley of Jacksonville State University. The introduction brings this classic
up to date - not that it has ever fallen out of date or ever will.
I was pleasantly surprised how computer voices are starting to sound almost human.
I'm going to experiment with uploading TTS conversions of existing books not yet available in AudioBook format.
I have already scripted all 11 parts of this book and I'll be uploading a chapter a day..
This is just a quick and dirty Windows MovieMaker version. If people like them I'll spend a little more time making them visually appealing.
Ant feedback is appreciated
Sweet! Nice to think I have the original printed book and now it's electronic.

I think it's a mistake to think of "Capitalism" & a "Free Market Economy" as one in the same. Capitalism has destroyed any Free Market Economy we ever had. I like his observations & what he has to say though weather or not I agree. Something to challenge my current perspective is always a good thing. Great uploads
