5.0 out of 5 stars Mises Human Action Glossary, December 31, 2008
By William Garrison Jr. (Bellevue, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The full title Percy Greaves' book is "Mises Made Easier: A Glossary for Ludwig von Mises' HUMAN ACTION". For clarification, Ludwig von Mises wrote a book titled "HUMAN ACTION". Mises was an economist, and being fluent in various languages, used French, Greek and Latin phrases in HUMAN ACTION that was written in English. As Percy Greaves noted in the dust-jacket inside cover: "Mises chose his terms and expressions with scientific accuracy and scholarly precision. He thus used many words and foreign phrases with which many readers may be unfamiliar, particularly in the exact sense that Mises had in mind. The purpose of the Glossary is to define, explain, interpret and translate all the book's difficult terms and foreign phrases into simple English words which will permit HUMAN ACTION readers to grasp all the fine, but important, points that Mises was trying to make in his own scholarly way." Not only are foreign phrases translated into English, but various economic and legal concepts are also defined; almost 700 words or phrases are explained to help clarify the thoughts being expressed in HUMAN ACTION. Also, Greaves printed in this book a little known "position paper" that Mises wrote titled: "A critique of Bohm-Bawerk's reasoning in support of his time preference theory." It is certainly very beneficial to read this glossary before reading HUMAN ACTION.
