Written in 1940, before the United States was officially involved in World War II, this book offers a rare insight into the war economies of Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy. Mises criticizes the pre-World War II democratic governments for favoring socialism and interventionism over capitalist methods of production.

Von Mises argues for a binary analysis of political influence on economies, that there is only the natural state of a totally free economic system or socialist dictatorship and that an interventionist "third way" that seeks to regulate business for the betterment of society in fact simply damages both.<br>
