If this book gives you satisfaction, I'll recommend Interventionism: An Economic Analysis to you, Pedro.

Thanks. Mises is probably the intellectual whose ideas most influenced me and whose ideas I am more comfortable discussing. Although I have not yet read that specific essay you recommended, I have actually reedited an old Portuguese translation of another one of his articles with the same title: Interventionismus, included in Critique of Interventionism, from the 20's.

I am reading Kirzner's book more for scholarly purposes, or even perhaps for curiosity as to how this student of his describes Mises's theories. My goal is not really to become acquainted with Misesian theories in general, which I already am.

I should say, though, that his views and works on interventionism are not his most convincing. So I would recommend you try to read some of his other writings, most urgently his Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth. Bureaucracy is also very good, but I see that you have read it already. Or check if some of those included in Money, Method, and the Market Process: Essays by Ludwig von Mises grab your attention.

(i'm avoiding the more extensive treatises)

Thanks for the heads up, Pedro! I might give a shot to Money, Method and the Market Process, not to mention the beefy Human Action, indeed!

Btw, this book by Kirzner is very good. Cheers
