The book was first published in 1962 and includes pieces from throughout Mises' career, covering topics such as economics, politics, and philosophy. The essays in this book argue for the importance of free markets and individual liberty in promoting economic prosperity and personal freedom.

He advocates for a laissez-faire approach to economics, in which individuals are free to pursue their own interests and the market is left to regulate itself.The book also includes speeches and essays on broader philosophical topics, such as the nature of human action and the role of government in society. Throughout, Mises emphasizes the importance of individualism, reason, and the pursuit of knowledge in achieving a free and prosperous society.Overall, ""Planning for Freedom: And Other Essays and Addresses"" is a powerful defense of free markets and individual liberty, written by one of the most influential economists and thinkers of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
