I might have to read this book "sooner," rather than "later." Bumpkin that I am, I didn't realize that there was such a dichotomy between fascism and capitalism.
Socialism and capitalism, yes; fascism and capitalism, no.
For example, I have "always" heard that Nazi Germany was capitalist. Soviet Russia, on the other hand was socialist, and that's one of the reasons that Hitler hated Russia. With Mises, as an Austrian who was living in Austria and then Switzerland (both next door to Germany) during the rise of the Nazis and Nazi Germany, as well as an economist, he would know how things actually were. I've got to do some reading.
