generation Katie Reiss covering 1949 through 1953. It is published

their spouses, her grandchildren, and two friends. They mention
serving in the Civil War, a friendship with John Wilkes Booth, life
in St. Louis and Sacramento and Davenport, and the lost family
fortune. The third book will be called The Reiss Dairy. It is a
history of the Reiss Dairy in Sikeston, Missouri which was founded

The fourth book will be Family, Farming, and Freedom. It is 55
years of professional and personal writings by fourth generation
Irv Reiss from 1949 to 2004. His favorite subjects were family fun
and travel, restoring strip mined coal lands to productive farms,
promoting individualfreedoms and responsibilities. He was my dad.
The neglect of time in general and of the time structure of
production in particular in mainstream economics led to the rebirth
of the Austrian tradition in the seventies. The names of BERNHCLZ,
HICKS, KIRZNER and VON WEIZSACKER are representative of different
approaches. In 1979 my "Introduction to Modern Austrian Capital
Theory" appeared, in which I unified various papers BERNHOLZ and I
had written. I also linked our approach to those of VON NEUMANN, of
HICKS and of neoclassical capital theory. These "Studies"
supplement and continue my "Introduction" in various ways. With all
the authors of the present volume I have cooperated for several
years. This volume is subdivided into five parts. The first one,
Historical Perspectives, gives first an outline on the development
of Austrian capital theory from its origins to the present. Next it
relates Modern Austrian Capital Theory to SRAFFA's theory and to
the Austrian subjectivists' pure time preference theory of
interest. The latter theory is represented in its opposition to the
traditional productivity-cum-time preference explanation of
interest, which is. common t9 neoclassical and BOHM-BAWERKian
capital theory alike. The Austrian subjectivist pure time
preference theory has been misinterpreted in its recent
presentation, which has led to misunderstandings. It is shown that
there is no real contradiction between the two appoaches.
Irv and Mary Reiss (aka Dad and Mom) wrote this book as two letters
per day for fifteen months from late 1943 through March 1945.
Friends and relatives added more letters to bring the total to
nearly 1,000. Virtually all of their letters ended with "I love you
very very much" and "I miss you very very much." It's easy to
empathize with their frustrations and anxieties about being
separated and worried, especially with the birth and nurturing of
their first child Stephen (aka "me) in June 1944. This book title
of From Burma With Love is an understatment. Irv Reiss served in
the US Army from Jun 27, 1941 until September 17, 1945 for a total
of 4 years, 2 months, and 20 days. Foreign service in India and
Burma (Myanmar) was 1 year, 1 month, and 23 days. The foreign
service in Burma was very intense and is the heart of this book --
hence thename, From Burma With Love. Irv was a labor officer along
the Ledo Road from August 28, 1944 until December 11, 1944. His job
was to hire and feed and pay several thousand native laborers (and
a few elephants) to help build that road from Ledo, India to
Mongyu, Burma. Read his letter of October 7, 1944
Reiss Dairy is the third book in this series. It is a history of
the Reiss Dairy in Sikeston, Missouri which was founded in 1935 by

these bottles now sell on eBay for over $200. It Takes A Matriarch
