New in literature

I don't know if everyone keeps an eye on the the new literature feed, but just in case you missed it, there are two new and very good entries:

Collectivist Economic Planning, edited by F.A. Hayek. This is the book that includes Mises's famous essay but everything in here is super-duper important in the history of thought.

Requiem for Marx, edited by Yuri Maltsev. This was published by LvMI some years ago, and I was surprised at how well at this reads in light of the the last 15 years. There are essays by Raico, Hoppe, and Rothbard in here. But take a special look at Maltsev's somettimes-hilarious, sometimes tragic introduction. He provides an outstanding picture of life in the Soviet Union in the bad old days. If you don't like PDF reading, maybe we can all prevail on BK Marcus to do his text magic and make this a daily article.
