Theory and History
Ludwig von Mises
Издател: Ludwig von Mises Institute
New hardcover edition, introduction by Murray N. Rothbard

Theory and History
Ludwig von Mises
Издател: Liberty Fund, Inc.
Theory and History is primarily a critique of Karl Marx, his materialism, and his prediction of the inevitability of socialism.

Thinking As A Science
Henry Hazlitt
Издател: Ludwig von Mises Institute
t's incredible that this 1916 tutorial on how to think, by none other than Henry Hazlitt, would still hold up after all these years. But here's why. Hazlitt was largely self-educated.

Edward Glaeser
Издател: The Penguin Press
A pioneering urban economist offers fascinating, even inspiring proof that the city is humanity's greatest invention and our best hope for the future.

Twilight of Subjectivity
Fred R. Dallmayr
Издател: The University of Massachusetts Press, Amherst
The present volume probes the decline or twilight of subjectivity, which has served as cornerstone of modern philosophy since the Renaissance, together with the repercussions of this decline on social and political thought.
