Mises's work compared which two economic systems?

  • Capitalism and Feudalism

  • Capitalism and Communism

  • Feudalism and Mercantilism

  • Socialism and mercantilism

Answer

Mises's work compared capitalism and communism, and argued that capitalism was the more efficient economic system. He argued that communism was inherently inefficient because it relied on central planning to allocate resources, which was unable to take into account the decentralized knowledge of individual consumers and producers. Mises also argued that communism was incompatible with human nature, as it required people to suppress their natural desire for freedom and self-expression.
