Read Online Making Economic Sense RTF
Do you ever watch the business news and think, what would Murray Rothbard say about this? Never an academic snob aloof from current events, he was in fact a committed news junky. He believed, like Mises, that economics is the business of everyone.It is in this book, Making Economic Sense, that you find Rothbard's running commentary on all the economic issues that vexed the world between 1982 and 1995 — most of which still vex our 21st-century world.The goal of this hefty tome by this master economist is to communicate with the public on issues of economic theory and policy in the form of short articles.Included are "Taking Money Back" (a populist case for the gold standard), Rothbard's famous "Protectionism and the Destruction of Prosperity," a newly published essay on fixed-exchange rates, and an obituary of Ludwig von Mises.No economist has ever written so clearly about subjects usually wrapped in mystery. Even when discussing exchange rates, interest rates, and central banking, Rothbard is clear, persuasive, and eminently accessible to the common man. That's what makes this book so wonderful — and so dangerous to the purveyors of economic fallacy and those who foist their specious ideas on the public.What would Rothbard say? Now you know.To search for Mises Institute titles, enter a keyword and LvMI (short for Ludwig von Mises Institute); e.g., Depression LvMI
