"Este minilivro é um resumo produzido a partir da obra original. As Seis Lições reúne as palestras ministradas, em 1959, por Ludwig von Mises na Universidade de Buenos Aires (UBA). O autor discute com clareza o capitalismo, o socialismo, o intervencionismo, a inflação, o investimento estrangeiro e as relações entre política e ideias. Em linguagem agradável, a obra apresenta as linhas gerais do pensamento misesiano sendo, ao mesmo tempo, uma das melhores introduções à Política e à Economia.
Além do prefácio de Margit von Mises, viúva do autor, nesta 8ª edição revista e ampliada da obra foram incluídos uma apresentação biográfica de Ludwig von Mises escrita por Murray N. Rothbard, um novo prefácio de Ubiratan Jorge Iorio, um posfácio de Alex Catharino, notas de rodapé do editor e um novo índice remissivo e onomástico."
"In 1927, classical liberalism—based on a belief in individualism, reason, capitalism, and free trade—was dying, when one of the twentieth century's greatest social thinkers wrote this combative and convincing restatement. Nowhere are the key principles of Mises' philosophy better represented than in this timeless work.
Mises was a careful and logical theoretician who believed that ideas rule the world, and this especially comes to light in Liberalism. 'The ultimate outcome of the struggle' between liberalism and totalitarianism, say Mises, 'will not be decided by arms, but by ideas. It is ideas that group men into fighting factions, that press the weapons into their hands, and that determine against whom and for whom the weapons shall be used. It is they alone, and not arms, that, in the last analysis, turn the scales.'"
