Hans F. Sennholz's review of Ludwig von Mises' Omnipotent Government.
Omnipotent Government: The Rise of the Total State and Total War is a book by influential Austrian School economist Ludwig von Mises first published in 1944 by Yale University Press. It is one of the most influential writings in libertarian social thought and an indicting critique of statist ideology and socialism, examining the rise of Nazism as an example. The book treats Nazism as a species of orthodox socialist theory, contrary to the popular belief that Nazism and Communism represent opposite ends of an ideological continuum. At the same time the book offers a critique of economic interventionism, industrial central planning, the welfare state and world government, denouncing the trends of the Western Allies towards the total state. The book was made available online by the Ludwig von Mises Institute in 2004.This review originally appeared in the Freeman, 1970. This review is read by Floy Lilley from the Ludwig von Mises Institute.
It was an interesting review to me because he didn't really go into the core of the book at all.
