La crisis del Socialismo | Jesús Huerta de Soto

A lecture by Dr. Jesús Huerta de Soto dedicated to the theoretical, economic, and legal analysis of the impossibility of socialism and the fundamental causes of its systemic crisis. Using the methodology of the Austrian School of Economics, he explains how any system based on coercive state intervention distorts free enterprise and impedes economic calculation, inevitably leading societies toward dynamic inefficiency and institutional collapse. The lecture dissects the arguments of the legendary 20th-century debate on economic calculation and contrasts attempts at centralized planning with the nature of human knowledge and spontaneous order.
