Two new issues of the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics are now available online.
Vol. 22, no. 4 features an article by Dr. Mark Thornton on an unpublished note from the early 1960s by Murray Rothbard on the economics of antebellum slavery. Other highlights include a response by Dr. Joseph Salerno to Dr. Karl-Friedrich Israel on the wealth effect and the law of demand, as well as a book review from Dr. David Gordon of Janek Wasserman’s book The Marginal Revolutionaries: How Austrian Economists Fought the War of Ideas.
Vol 23. no. 1 includes an interesting look by Dr. Mark A. DeWeaver at extending Austrian business cycle theory to the command economy, demonstrating that Mises’s socialist commonwealth would not be free from Rothbardian error cycles. Other notable articles include a critique of intellectual property by Dr. Jakub Bożydar Wiśniewski, a tribute to Oskar Morganstern from Dr. Richard Ebeling, and a response from Márton Kónya to the economic analysis of The People’s Republic of Walmart.
