Here is Hans Hoppe's first treatise in English - actually his
first book in English - and the one that put him on the map as a
social thinker and economist to watch. He argued that there are
only two possible archetypes in economic affairs: socialism and
capitalism. All systems are combinations of those two types. The
capitalist model he defines as pure protection of private property,
free association, and exchange - no exceptions. All deviations from
that ideal are species of socialism, with public ownership and
interference with trade. Within the structure of socialism, he
distinguishes the left and right version. "Conservative" socialism
favors high regulation, behavioral controls, protectionism, and
nationalism. The "liberal" version tends more toward outright
public ownership and redistribution. The consequences of socialism
vary based on their degree and kind, but they have similarities:
high costs, resource waste, low growth. This treatise has long been
out of print, but is now avaiable again for use in comparative
systems classes and for an orientation to the theory of economic
systems. The theoretical apparatus is Rothbardian to the core, and
its main contribution is to provide an organizing principle for
understanding the structure of real-world economies as measured
against pure types. A tour de force. This edition preserves the
formatting from the original publisher, for reasons of citation.
Though it was published by a major academic publishing house, the
visuals are not what they might have been. Nonetheless, the book is
well cited and this edition makes it possible to navigate those
citations.
