Looks fantastic. Will this be available at other retailers (such as Amazon)?

Jeffrey Tucker December 30, 2008 at 12:51 pm

yes of course

This looks like an incredible book!

My only complaint is the typesetting on that cover. Great typeface, great ampersand, great swash, but those commas should be hanging in the margin. The letters should be aligned while the punctuation hangs to the right.

553 pages… i could brain a liberal with this!

The flow is becoming a flood!

Soon the numbed thinkers of empirical gibberish will look around and find themselves in a basement where the water was seeping in just one corner, then the water was squirting from a crack, then the window wells were filling up, and now it is rushing down the steps! Will they stay in the basement with their musty books of economic nonsense or climb out like drowning rats shamed by their disgraceful treatment of the noble science of economics?

The power of the market is to purge itself from all man-made corruptions that prevent information from flowing. We are living in that special time in history when the equilbrium forces became so great because of the massive, cumulative ego-driven interventionism that the dam broke releasing an equilibrium torrent to wash away the damned charlatans and their overlords.

Those are bugging the heck out of me too Dave!

Ew…hanging punctuation is, in general, ugly – and contrary to the author’s assertion on that first page, was not standard prior to the advent of desktop publishing. FWIW, I’ve just examined 17 books (all that were easily available to me) published between 1840 and 1953 and, as expected, not a single one has hanging punctuation.

Good to see this is finally released, roll on the books by Block and Rothbard.

Congratulations to Lew and the Mises Institute. Some minor constructive criticism: I think you should make it clearer that this is a compilation of articles rather than new material. It is definitely not as obvious as it should be; I don’t think I’d have realized it had I not gone out of my way to check.

Was Tu Ne Cede Malis originally in the title of this, or is that from a book book that is still in the works?

Jeffrey Tucker December 31, 2008 at 8:04 am

Yes, this is Tu Ne. Some wise advise suggested that he eliminate the Latin title.

Yes, this book is a compilation, but not in the usual way. It is very well edited and nicely put together to the point that it really really really does turn out to be an integrated book. This struck me the instant I saw the gallies: this is a real book, not just a collection. For this reason, there isn’t much point in putting that front and center. Believe me, I’m no fan of collections. But this is far more. I think you will be very pleased at how the whole thing works together.

When will it be available in audio book format?

The ampersand is a ligature of the letters E and T. What is seen on this cover is a ligature of the letters C and T. Sorry, but that’s just wrong.

The ct ligature is only ever to be used where the letters C and T normally appear, such as in the word “connection.”

Sincerely,
Alex Peak
