This is wonderful news. These were quite expensive books when they first came out.

The lengthy academic-sounding title may mislead people into thinking that this book isn’t for them. Once it gets online, I urge you to pick an interesting sounding chapter and read a little. I found the book a page turner.

Rothbard’s approach is not at all dry, rather he clearly thinks there are good guys and bad guys in this story. Agree or disagree it makes for a much more passionate and exciting read than “Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought” might suggest.

I actually downloaded Rothbard’s History of Economic Thought from a warez website a few months ago. His portion on the Anabaptist communists who engaged in a reign of terror in 16th century Germany was a good read (although sadly, such atrocities are not yet completely relegated to the history books).

This is great news. The increased availability of this book set is another important weapon against the orthodoxy of the economic profession today, and will surely be appreciated by students and intelligent laymen all over the world.

I think I figured it out. MNR=Murray Newton Rothbard.
