Nice article on a most important work. I only hope that it is true that more people are reading Human Action. I think Mr. Ebeling did a very good job with limited space summarizing some of what's in Human Action. It is a great work that should be mandatory for any economic student. For that matter so should, An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes or the Wealth of Nations.
