Turbulence in economics
A very learned book. This is certainly not for beginners. And you should already be familiar with the Misesian battles in methodology (and even with the context of his intellectual life) in order to fully understand his points. In that sense, it is a book for mature students of Austrian economics or for students of the philosophy of science and economics. One thing is for sure, Mises's impressive breadth of knowledge and culture is displayed from start to finish, even though some of his assertions may sound a bit too harsh. Even though I consider myself fairly well read in his works, I still learned many interesting insights from this book, and was pleased with some innovative ways of looking at some philosophical and "civilizational" questions.
But, once again: do not jump into this one until have an idea of what epistemology means haha
