I’m pleased to announce that two scholars will be live blogging the new bio of Mises: Wladimir Kraus, a PhD student in economics in Germany, and Greg Ransom of the Hayek Center. Both will be reading the book chapter by chapter and blogging their impression here as they go. Both bloggers are interesting cases because neither can be considered orthodox Misesians. Kraus tends toward an objectivist position with more sympathy for the classical school than is usually found among the Rothbard branch of the Misesian school, while Ransom is a Hayekian of the old school. So their impressions will be particularly interesting.
In the meantime, you can buy the book and read along with them or browse the full text here. Meanwhile, I’m reading the book for the first time as a consumer rather than an editor or production critic, so it is completely consuming my evenings. It is not a chore in the slightest bit; it is like reading a great novel, chapter after chapter.
