Mises Review

Israel Kirzner has achieved greatest renown as an Austrian economist for his work on entrepreneurship.

This is much more than a book: it is a confrontation. It consists of a lecture on constitutional interpretation delivered at Princeton University by Justice Scalia of the Supreme Court.

Unless you agree with Emerson that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds, you will find little in this ill- thought-out book to like.

In this outstanding book, Jeremy Shearmur approaches the thought of Friedrich Hayek from an original angle. 

Great Britain learned an important lesson from World War I. 

Jeff Madrick, an economic journalist of statist bent, shows us the mind of a true leftist at work.

Elizabeth Fox-Genovese has had an idea brilliant in its simplicity and common sense. Feminism arouses furious passions, as supporters and opponents incessantly battle one another.

To most conservatives, constitutional interpretation is straightforward.

With ample reason, Robert Bork indicts contemporary American culture. But he in part misidentifies what is responsible for our current predicament;

The conduct of contemporary American foreign policy flies in the face of the Constitution and much of our history.

For once a publisher's blurb does not exaggerate. The Economics of Time and Ignorance has indeed been "one of the seminal works in modern Austrian economics" and the book's welcome reissue, with a new introduction, offers an opportunity for its examination here.

If one passage in Robert Barro's excellent book attracts notice in the wrong quarters, he is liable to find himself in serious trouble. 

Conor Cruise O'Brien lets the mask drop on of his deplorable new book.

Albert Hirschman is hard to pin down. No sooner does he offer a theory than he thinks of a qualification to it.

This book starts to derail around Chapter 15. Before then, the work provides a largely sound elementary account of economic principles. 

Anthony de Jasay's short book contains more good sense about political theory than many treatises of enormously greater length.

The intellectual historian Isaiah Berlin has achieved great renown for essays that range from the analysis of liberty to memoirs of Russian poets.

David Conway stands in resolute opposition to most contemporary Anglo-American political philosophers.

At times in this strange book, Mr. Pinkerton sounds like an advocate of the free market; fortunately, he really is not. "Fortunately," because our author has an anti-Midas Touch. 

In past issues of The Mises Review, I have sometimes criticized Don Lavoie in harsh terms: in fact, some of what I have said about him has been quite horrid.
