In 1919, immediately after his last deployment to the front, where he served as commander of an artillery battery, Ludwig von Mises decided to investigate the causes and consequences of the war that destroyed the old Europe. The author originally wanted to call this book Imperialism: it consists of three essays on the theory of imperialism, illustrated with examples from German and Austro-Hungarian history. In the first chapter, Mises analyzed the "political economy of nations" to explain German imperialism, in which he saw the main cause of the war. The second chapter criticized the supposed benignity of German military socialism, and the third dissected the history and politics of the German Social Democrats.
Despite the specific nature of the historical events discussed, all the points and assessments put forward by the author only become more relevant for many countries. As the historian Rudolf Sieghardt suggested in 1932, a hundred years later the Austro-Hungarian Empire has become a "dead letter" and all its battles and sufferings mean nothing to modern people, but the problems that this empire tried so painfully to solve have remained unsolved. They arise again and again everywhere in the world, and will long occupy minds wherever national minorities struggle for the continued existence of their culture, or, more precisely, according to Mises, where mass democracy and comprehensive state intervention in the economy limit the rights of minorities to use their mother tongue in political life.
