The best things said about it
In essence socialism and this is what mises condemns in his book socialism shows is that without private property prices cease to exist and therefore resources are diverted.
This is one of the critiques that mises has leveled at socialism exactly a century ago 1922 he wrote his book socialism and until today I don't think there has been a single socialist that has actually Illustrated their ability to comprehend this point.

Why people recommend it
Socialism by Ludwig Von Mises is a 1922 treatise that offers a rigorous economic critique of socialist systems and central planning. Russ Roberts discussed the ongoing availability and historical significance of the book on EconTalk, noting that it remains actively in print a century after publication. Javier Milei referenced Mises's arguments on the Lex Fridman Podcast, asserting that socialism inevitably fails because the absence of private property destroys price mechanisms and misallocates resources. Saifedean Ammous brought up the book on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast to emphasize that central planners have continuously failed to address the foundational calculation problem Mises identified. Additionally, Roger Ver recounted on The Rubin Report how stumbling upon the text in junior high fundamentally transformed his worldview, sparking a lifelong interest in economics and libertarian philosophy. Across multiple podcast episodes, guests have continually turned to Mises's classic work to debate the merits of free markets versus state control, underscoring its enduring impact on modern economic thought and political philosophy.
