individualism for the masses

BK Marcus is an amateur political economist with no formal education in the subject.

He works from Charlottesville, Virginia as an editorial consultant for the Ludwig von Mises Institute and managing editor of Mises.org.

He is no longer a house husband, nor a faculty spouse, but he is still a dilettante and a layabout, at least in spirit.

"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."

Murray Rothbard

free books, 2nd installment

December 14th, 2007 by bkmarcus

Today, Mises.org features the final chapter of Murray Rothbard’s The Betrayal of the American Right:

The New Left Was Great
(Before It Collapsed)

This means all chapters have been published in HTML and I can now make another free book page, thanks to the Mises Institute.

As I said in “free books, first installment,”

The idea is to give you a single portal to all the formats of all the chapters of all the multi-format books that the Mises Institute already makes available for free.

The Betrayal of the American Right is only “multi-format” if two counts as “multi,” but here it is:


The print version of Murray Rothbard’s The Betrayal of the American Right is gorgeous and well worth the price, but Mises.org has made the entire book available for free online in PDF and HTML:

$20
