Guido's Book Is a Magnificent Work of Scholarship

September 5, 2007 11:19 AM by Ralph Raico | Other posts by Ralph Raico | Comments (3)

I'm would like to add my voice to the celebration over the publication of Mises: The Last Knight of Liberalism.

It is a magnificent work of scholarship, not only definitive on Mises's life and works, but also brilliantly delineating the Vienna of the time, the development of the Austrian school, the place of other thinkers like Hayek, and Mises's contributions to American and world libertarianism.

I'll be picking up a copy of Guido's book at the conference of the Mises Institute in New York, in October. With luck, I'll be able to get Guido to autograph it for me.

  • If you're purchasing a book at a conference, am I right to assume that you actually have not read this book at all? If that's the case, then how does one comment legitimately on a particular piece of work?

  • I suspect Hulsmann circulated the manuscript or parts of it to other scholars associated with the Mises Institute (scholars and adjunct scholars) for proof-reading, feedback etc.

  • This book has been in process 10 years, so yes Professor Raico was one of the readers.
