Here is the book to learn classical liberalism from the ground up,
written by the foremost historian in the Austrian tradition--Ralph
Raico. He takes on all comers, disposing of all opponents of the
market from Keynesians to Marxists and everyone in between, with
crackling prose and sizzling wit. The liberal history comes alive
with Raico's pen, and at the same time quenches the reader's thirst
for detail, infusing an excitement that urges the reader to further
explore. Raico's breadth of scholarship is on full display,
combining insights and arguments from disparate points. He provides
clarity to a history that is often slanted and distorted. Multiple
reference lists contained in the book will serve as a classical
liberal treasure trove for students and scholars for decades to
come.

Rare is the scholar to inspire a festschrift--a volume of papers
written by top specialists in honor of a major thinker-but this one
is very special. It is sure to grow in importance as the years move
on, for it contains phenomenal contributions written in the
tradition of the work of Hans-Hermann Hoppe. Hoppe is one of the
most important scholars of our time. He has made pioneering
contributions to sociology, economics, philosophy, and history. His
important books include Handeln und Erkennen (1976), Kritik der
Kausalwissenschaftlichen Sozialforschung (1983), Eigentum,
Anarchie, und Staat (1987), A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism
(1989), The Economics and Ethics of Private Property (1993,
enlarged 2nd edition 2006), Democracy--The God That Failed (2001),
and The Myth of National Defense (editor, 2003). He is the founder
and president of the international Property and Freedom Society,
which promotes scientific debate in combination with intransigent
libertarian radicalism. Now Professor Emeritus of Economics at UNLV
and Distinguished Fellow with the Ludwig von Mises Institute, Hoppe
and his writings have inspired scholars around the world to follow
in his footsteps and to provide a scientific foundation for
individual freedom and a free society. The festschrift honors the
occasion of his 60th birthday. The festschrift contains personal
testimonies and essays in Professor Hoppe's preferred research
areas, such as political philosophy, democracy, and economics. The
contributors are colleagues, collaborators, and former students
from all over the world, including Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Sean
Gabb, Jesus Huerta de Soto, Robert Higgs, Frank van Dun, Paul
Gottfried, Joseph T. Salerno, Walter Block, and Thomas J.
DiLorenzo. The 400-page Festschrift was presented to Professor
Hoppe at a private ceremony on July 29, 2009, in Auburn, AL during
Mises University 2009.

These are difficult times for those who love freedom. But they are
nothing like what Mises faced during his life. He prevailed, and
his Memoirs explain how. We can learn from Mises in this respect
too. "How one carries on in the face of unavoidable catastrophe is
a matter of temperament," wrote Ludwig von Mises in his private
memoir of his life in Europe. It was true in his time and it is
true in ours. This new translation and edition of Mises's moving
account of his life, published by the Mises Institute, provides not
only deeply fascinating personal history; it also functions as a
moral and spiritual guide for any lover of liberty during times of
despotism. It was written during and after his immigration to the
United States in 1940. Despite being driven from his home, seeing
his country taken over by a foreign dictator, having his books
burned and his papers stolen, and finally pushed out of the
sanctuary he had for six years, he never lost determination and
never doubted the truth of liberty.

There is a reason that this book has been translated to Chinese,
German, Spanish, Czech, and there are many more on the way. This
book hits the intellectual sweet spot, speaking to the issues that
are driving economic events right now. We MUST deal with the money
problem in a principled way, else we never get back on the course
of sustainable prosperity. By "money production," the author is
speaking not in the colloquial sense of the phrase "making money,"
but rather the actual production of money as a commodity in the
whole economic life. The choice of the money we use in exchange is
not something that needs to be established and fixed by government.
In fact, his thesis is that a government monopoly on money
production and management has no ethical or economic grounding at
all. Legal tender laws, bailout guarantees, tax-backed deposit
insurance, and the entire apparatus that sustains national monetary
systems, has been wholly unjustified. Money, he argues, should be a
privately produced good like any other, such as clothing or food.

Richard Ritter von Strigl (1891-1942) was one of the most
brilliant Austrian economists of the interwar period. As a
professor at the University of Vienna he had a decisive influence
on Hayek, Machlup, Haberler, Morgenstern, and other
fourth-generation Austrian economists. Very few classic works on
capital and business cycles in the Austrian tradition have been
translated from the original German. Strigl's important
contribution to Austrian capital theory is brought to the
English-speaking world for the first time. The book links Eugen von
Bohm-Bawerk's production theory and Mises's business-cycle theory,
and gives a pathbreaking account of the role of consumers' goods
within the structure of production. Translated by Hans-Hermann
Hoppe, with an extended introduction by Jorg Guido Hulsmann,
"Capital and Production" is the essential foundation - both in
theory and in the history of thought - to Austrian macroeconomics.
As positive theory, this book is unusually lucid. He patiently lays
out the entire theory of capital and production, long before
getting to applications in the area of business-cycle theory. He
establishes without question that time and production plans play
the critical role in the formation of the capital sector. We find
in here the foundation of what later came to be called Hayekian
triangles. We even find a thorough discussion of the impossibility
of central monetary planning by the Federal Reserve - it has no way
to meet changes in demand with rational plans. In general, Strigl's
theory and explication offer a level of clarity and plainness of
expression that some find missing in later works by, for example,
F.A. Hayek.
