"Socialism" is Ludwig von Mises's major social science treatise. This work most fully expounds the economic and sociological foundations of the theory of society to which the author adhered and which he developed in all his subsequent works. Breaking the Marxist prohibition on discussing the economic and social structure of a future socialist society, Mises analyzes how human society will function after the complete abolition of private ownership of the means of production. This analysis is conducted against the backdrop of constant comparison with the state of affairs in a liberal market society based on private ownership of the means of production.

The central part of the treatise is a demonstration of the impossibility of rational, centralized management of an economy with a profound division of labor, which is due to the impossibility of economic calculation in an economy without private property, and therefore without market prices for the means of production. In the early 1920s, the author was able to foresee and describe in detail both the characteristic flaws of various forms of real socialism and the reasons for its inevitable collapse. The translation was made from the English edition of 1981 and verified with the German edition of 1982.
