Murphy's Choice

Choice: Cooperation, Enterprise, and Human Action is a book that presents Ludwig von Mises' Human Action in a more accessible style. A reader with no prior knowledge of economics can get a basic understanding of the magnum opus of one of history’s most important economists. It's a good refresher for those who have read Human Action.  It is also much shorter, 336 pages versus more than 900.

The first seven pages consists of praise from many economists.  

The author, Robert P. Murphy, also wrote A Study Guide to Human Action, available for download here. I haven't read it, so I can't compare them. It is a little longer, 382 pages.
