Time Will Run Back
A novel by Henry Hazlitt in which the plot line explores the debate over economic calculation: Time Will Run Back, in full text PDF, with navigation links.
If capitalism did not exist, it would be necessary to invent it—and its discovery would be rightly regarded as one of the great triumphs of the human mind. This is the theme of Time Will Run BacK. But as "capitalism" is merely a name for freedom in the economic sphere, the theme of my novel might be stated more broadly: The will to freedom can never be permanently stamped out.

It's a fun novel. As I recall, it was Lew Rockwell (correct me if I'm wrong) who was responsible for the publication of this novel under the old Conservative Book Club. You can find similar themes with some of the libertarians, like F.A. Harper and Frank Chodorov, during the fifties and sixties.
Just a thought.
