Buchbestellung Oktober 2009
Die Tage werden so langsam merklich kürzer, also gilt es genügend neuen Lesestoff zu bestellen. Ich dachte mir, das ich meine aktuelle Buchbestellung im Mises Store mit euch teilen werde. Vielleicht bestellt sich ja der ein oder andere dann selbst eines der vorgestellten Bücher. Da alle Bücher auf Englisch sind, habe ich die Beschreibungen nur übernommen.
Money, Bank Credit, and Economic Cycles
Jesús Huerta de Soto - 885 Seiten - $35 USD
Can the market fully manage the money and banking sector?
Jesús Huerta de Soto, professor of economics at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, has made history with this mammoth and exciting treatise that it has and can again, without inflation, without business cycles, and without the economic instability that has characterized the age of government control.
Such a book as this comes along only once every several generations: a complete comprehensive treatise on economic theory. It is sweeping, revolutionary, and devastating--not only the most extended elucidation of Austrian business cycle theory to ever appear in print but also a decisive vindication of the Misesian-Rothbardian perspective on money, banking, and the law.
Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth
Ludwig von Mises - 71 Seiten - $7 USD
This is the essay that overthrew the socialist paradigm in economics, and provided the foundation for modern Austrian price theory. When it first appeared in 1920, Mises was alone in challenging the socialists to explain how their pricing system would actually work in practice.
Mises proved that socialism could not work because it could not distinguish more or less valuable uses of social resources, and predicted the system would end in chaos. The result of his proof was the two-decade-long "socialist calculation" debate. This new edition contains an afterword by Joseph Salerno, who applies the calculation argument to contemporary problems like environmentalism and business regulation.
Anatomy of the State
Murray N. Rothbard - 60 Seiten - $5 USD
Murray Rothbard was known as the state's greatest living enemy, and this is his most succinct and powerful statement on the topic, an exhibit A in how he came to wear that designation proudly. He explains what a state is and what it is not, according to his own ideological vision. His shows how it is one institution that purports to hold the right to violate all that we otherwise hold as honest and moral, and how it operates under a false cover now and always. He shows how the state wrecks freedom, destroys civilization, and threatens all lives and property and social well being.
Private Production of Defense
Hans-Hermann Hoppe - 56 Seiten - $5 USD
Hans Hoppe takes on the most difficult subject in economic and political theory: the provision of security. He argues that the service is better provided by free markets than government, while addressing a hundred counter-arguments. Here we have an important updating of an argument rarely made even in the libertarian tradition.
Die Revolution geht weiter
Acht Monate lang ist es nun ziemlich ruhig um diesen Blog geworden und seit ca. einem Monat war er praktisch gar nicht mehr existent. Hauptgrund dafür ist bzw. war vor allem Zeitmangel, aufgrund von Abitur und Zivildienst.
Ich habe mir nun allerdings vorgenommen, wieder häufiger zu bloggen. Der Fokus meines Blogs wird sich wohler auf libertäre bzw. anarchokapitalistische Artikel verschieben. Aktuell schreibe ich bspw. an einem Artikel mit dem Titel "Papiergeld: Wie entsteht Geld?", welcher wahrscheinlich im Laufe des morgigen Tages erscheinen wird und Teil einer Serie über unser Papiergeld ist.
Im Sinne des neuen Mottos meines Blogs: Freiheit statt Demokratie!
