I love Audible.com. I listen to audiobooks and lecture courses every day, and it’s much more convenient (and cheaper with a platinum membership) to download from Audible.com than it is to buy CDs and rip them to MP3.

But however much I love Audible, I certainly never expect them to stray too far from the mainstream. They are a commercial enterprise, after all. For the first half of last week, for example, their front page featured The Conscience of a Liberal by recent Nobel laureate, Paul Krugman.

(Hint: he doesn’t really mean “liberal”; he means menshevik. See David Gordon’s review, “The Conscience of Paul Krugman.”)

Imagine my delight, then, to see these books featured on Friday:

Murray Rothbard’s name on the front page. Go figure. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that on a nonlibertarian website.

(The first book was on the front page, its copy linking to books 2 and 3.)

Is it possible that the New Deal dogma is losing its grip?

Might people suspect they’ve been given indoctrination by way of grade-school history?

One can hope…
