Reisman doesn't really explain what's wrong with Keynes and Marx, instead telling
folk to read his book.

Interesting political views that Herr Mises had.Always a consistent opponent of big government, was Mises:

Quote:
“Here Mises had no hesitation. In the struggle against the labour movement, authoritarian rule might be required. Looking across the border, he could see
the virtues of Mussolini, the black-shirts had for the moment saved European civilization for the principle of private property-“the merit that fascism has won
will thereby live on eternally in history”
.Advisor to Monsignor Seipel, the prelate who ran the country in the late twenties, Mises approved of Dollfuss’s crushing of Austrian labour in the ’30, blaming the repression of 1934 which installed his clerical dictatorship on the folly of the Social Democrats in contesting his alliance with Italy.”

Quoted in “Spectrum” (p. 13) by Perry Anderson by Verso, 2005.
So Mises was very selective in the "big governments" he
opposed.
