America’s Great Depression in paperback

February 25, 2009 by

We’ve made this one an Amazon exclusive. If there is demand for this in the Mises Store, we can do this too, but we’ve supposed that Mises.org customers prefer the low-priced, high-quality hardback.

If the one in the 1930′s was “Great”, then the one we had to have in 2009 must be the “Not-So-Great” Depression, uhh – and “Grapes of Wrath” will likely turn out to be simply “sour grapes” but still a bitter harvest for many!?!?

I received my copy yesterday along with Meltdown, The Causes of the Economic Crisis, The Mystery of Banking, and The Failure of the “New Economics”. I’ll be pretty busy for the next several weeks.

I suggest reading “The Mystery of Banking” first. The T accounting is liberates the mind.

Also, paperback editions are always greatly appreciated for those of us who read while commuting to work.

I agree that paperback editions are a welcome option. While we all appreciate LvMi’s effort to produce attractive hardbacks at low prices, paperbacks are a little easier to carry around. I also like to highlight or dog-ear favorite passages and make notes in the margins. I feel guilty doing this to a handsome hardback but not so much with a paperback.

With your position on copyright, I think you must accept that your philosophy will be popular with the subgroup known as “cheap bastards.” We like paperback.

Ive been waiting for this for a long time. However, I do have some reservations. I’ve heard that Rothbard uses some “unconventional” money supply measures to make his case, and it seems like he was stretching. Can anyone quell my fears on this?

very Austrian view of the Great Depression and our current crisis

Dear Jeff Tucker,

There was a great Austrian economist named Oskar Morgenstern who wrote a book called On the Accuracy of Economic Observations. There are no new copies available at Amazon. Will the Mises store be adding this title to its catalogue in the future?
