Deep, Hardcore Links

The Study Guide now features banners with images, in the spirit of the Daily Article images, on all the Austrian Economics and Libertarian Studies topics as well as some of the most prolific authors. Just the thing if you're writing a blog entry and want a link to the deep, hardcore literature on an Austro-libertarian topic. And what other serious, scholarly resource features a Talosian?

John Brätland's article on "sustainable development" in the QJAE recently came online. I would like to use this as an opportunity not only to highlight this important article but also to point out some of the major Austrian work on environmental issues.
