- Jeffrey Tucker – Liberty Classics: Economics of Illusion
Join Jeffrey Tucker for another show about the world's best liberty literature! This week he'll be chatting about Economics of Illusion by L. Albert Hahn.
The beautiful thing about Hahn’s book is how liberating it is. Keynesian economics was refuted before it began? Yes indeed. This one point stands the whole history of ideas of the 20th century on its head. The widely held view, then and now, is that Keynes’s economics were the “new economics”; nothing like this theory had ever been advanced and he was a singular mind in the history of ideas. But Hahn actually shows that he did nothing but regurgitate old fallacies and apply new terminological razzle-dazzle to them.

- Jeffrey Tucker – Liberty Classics: The Use of Knowledge in Society
Join Jeffrey Tucker for another exciting installment of his Liberty Classics series! This week, he'll be chatting about F. A. Hayek's The Use of Knowledge in Society.
The Use of Knowledge in Society is an essay that sums up the insights of a lifetime. It is a template for a worldview. It is a source of unlimited amounts of study and reflection. It is an insight that explains vast amounts of the world around us. It is a flash of brilliance, a revelation that millions have missed, a paradigm for understanding the past and future. It is a rebuke to intellectuals from time immemorial and a new way of thinking for true intellectuals of the future. No single essay by Hayek is more important. “The Use of Knowledge in Society” is all that and more.
- New Hampshire Austrian Economics Group - The Depression of 1907
The New Hampshire Austrian Economics Group will be discussing the Depression of 1907, and reviewing several short texts on the episode. The Depression of 1907 is seldom explored in as much detail as the Great Depression, or even smaller recessions such as the Dot Com Bust. But it plays an important role in history: This depression was used as an excuse for the nationalization of bank notes in the US i.e. the creation of the Fed as central bank.
READINGS:
PDF pages 241-244 "A History of Money and Banking in the United States" by Murray Rothbard (Link)
"The Great Depression According to Milton Friedman" by Ivan Pongracic (Link)

- Liberty Classics: Essentials of Economics by Faustino Ballvé
The enduring power of this book is due to the enduring power of economic logic. If it is done well, it applies in all times and places. And this book does economics extremely well. In times when economics is subject to vast political manipulation, when people have abused the science to push political agendas contrary to everything economics stands for, this book stands out as a clear, objective, and rational statement of the core of what economics teaches.
Join us Sunday, December 14th at 8pm EST for Liberty Classics, as Jeffrey Tucker guides you, week by week, through 25 of the most important works in the classical liberal and libertarian tradition, all of which are available free with your subscription to Liberty.me!

- The Man of the Century: Mises and His Works, Session #9
The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science was Mises’s final work in a career that stretches back to the early 20th century. He urges a completely new direction in economics, away from positivism and planning and toward a humane social science and laissez faire economics. Jeffrey Tucker discusses the erudition of this book, its many surprises, and sums up his 9-session series on the central books in the Misesian literary legacy. Join him Thursday, November 20th at 2:30pm ET!
- The Man of the Century: Mises and His Works, Session #7
If you were going to name the single greatest book in the social sciences from the 20th century, it would be Mises’s Human Action. Jeffrey Tucker discusses the history of how it came to be written and its main themes. Human Action is a book that you can never stop reading. No matter how many times you read it and reference it, there always seems to be more to discover. Join Jeffrey for a discussion of this book and its legacy Thursday, October 30th at 2:30pm ET!
