How Much Money?
How Much Money Does an Economy Need? is an outstanding guide to the essentials of monetary theory. Not content to expound his own views, Lewis carefully explains conflicting standpoints as well. Lewis does not disguise his own strong commitment to Austrian economics, but the reader of this book will understand not only this position, but its chief competitors as well. If the literate public absorbs its lessons, the book cannot fail to have a salutary effect on current economic policy. Hunter Lewis deserves congratulations for his notable achievement. FULL ARTICLE

By doing so, they will be able to rally their nation to "defend" against an assault they have themselves instigated. FULL ARTICLE
The Longing for War, Forever
In this instance, you can judge a book by its cover. The back of the dust jacket displays endorsements by two of our foremost warmongers. Both John McCain and Joseph Lieberman praise Kagan as an insightful analyst of foreign policy. At one point, urging that we promote democracy in the Middle East -- the Iraq disaster is evidently not enough for him -- he asks, essentially, what else are we to do? Kagan has put his considerable intelligence in the service of those who would busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels. FULL ARTICLE
