There are several typos in the “Notes on Democracy” review.

The link to “Essentials of Economics” doesn’t work.

both fixed.

Are there any plans to make Hayek’s “Prices and Production” and “Monetary Theory of the Trade Cycle” available?

jorge besada February 21, 2008 at 3:51 pm

Both of Hayek’s titles are already available here:

oops. My apologies for the double post. I see that they can be accessed as .pdf files, but I would like to purchase them in book form through the Mises print on demand series. What the Mises Institute usually does is make out-of-print books available online, then publish them through the Lulu print on demand program. Why have they not done this with the two Hayek books?

On Hayek, news forthcoming. By the way, we are no longer using print on demand or lulu. The demand turned out to be too great for all of these books, and with new services, the prices can be lowered.

I am IMPRESSED by your relentless publishing of extremely valuable publication of rare books, almost nowhere to be found in normal shops!

Can you do anything to help us Europeans buy your books without a big tax-wedge in the a**e by European governments? I can see a few titles available on Amazon.co.uk, but a European gateway to your full collection would be priceless! (That itself being a strange term in the mind of the economist.)

Are there still plans to publish Economic Controversies?

max February 21, 2008 at 6:31 pm

keep it up, Jeff! You are indispensable.

Spooner’s Natural Law is probably my favourite thing I’ve read of his thus far.

I’ve never read, but would love to own, Harry Browne’s How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World (currently out of print). I know Rothbard and Childs had a few roblems with it, but then, Rothbard also thought The Road to Serfdom was a tragÅ“dy, yet I do believe that that’s available here. I’ve heard many good things from people about How I Found Freedom, and would love to give it a read. (I’m surprised Advocates for Self-Government haven’t acted to put that back into print. Ruwart or Cloud could easily pen a new Forward or Introductory Essay.)

Liberty and the Great Libertarians sounds interesting. I’m currently reading Radicals for Capitalism, and although Doherty does go over some of the influential proto-libertarian figures, there are many he leaves out.

Yours,
Alex Peak

I can’t say enough good about the Sprading book. it is a complete surprise to me. it’s one of those books I’ve seen here and there for years but only recently picked it up. It is just essential for every library. In fact, as a collection of pro-liberty writings, I don’t think it’s ever been surpassed. The guy just had an editorial sense.

More to say about Spooner, Mencken, and Ballve (now, that deserves an essay of its own) but I’ll stop.

jeffrey February 22, 2008 at 4:36 pm

There is nothing we can do about Euro shipping apart from actually opening a warehouse in Europe. hmmm, maybe someday…

As for Economic Controversies, it is still in the works. It is massive though, as big as Man Economy and State. Huge project!

Ball February 24, 2008 at 11:58 pm

Where the heck is Rothbard’s “The Mystery of Banking”

jeffrey February 25, 2008 at 5:49 am

Ball, these things don’t appear as if by magic, sorry to say. Lots of work to do on that one but we’ll get there.
