Human Action

What could almost certainly have been expected, namely that a disparate style would be encountered, I have found as a matter of course. Ludwig von Mises' style in Human Action is substantially different from von Hayek's. Von Mises is very slow to advance, covering all his bases in minute detail, whereas von Hayek delves straight into the heart of the matter, advancing at a comparatively reckless pace and dealing with crticisms afterwards. I find that I prefer von Hayek's style since I can enjoy the meat of his arguments without first having to endure seemingly endless quibblings and qualifications, necessary though they be. As a matter of taste, I wish that von Mises had rather employed von Hayek to enscribe his ideas.
