First, thanks for digging up this additional book from the Site. Great find.
The "heads up" is that Mises will take a conservative position on the causes, and cures needed, for the Great Depression. He will be critical of, for example, Roosevelt's "New Deal." Roosevelt was very heavily influenced by an economist by the name of Keynes. Keynes was a proponent of direct injection of money by government into the economy in order to cause economic growth. Mises was not a proponent of that.
I'm not promoting either one of the positions above, although I have my strongly-held opinions. I'm just trying to let you know beforehand, if you didn't already, where Mises will be "coming from." That might help you either to decide to read the book, or decide not to.
