- 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)
"Encyclopedia of American Recessions and Depression" The Panic of 1907 (Link)
- Walter Block - Libertarians and Politics
Libertarians and Politics. Are we like oil and water or peas in a pod? Can libertarians vote, campaign, and get elected even if they think the ultimate goal is to move humanity beyond politics? That is, libertarians reject the "political means," but does that mean they must reject politics too?
- Austrian Economics: Free State Style #2

All Liberty.me members are invited to join in from their homes during this LIVE event!
- 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.
