Speaking of Liberty

Written in clear prose to reach a broad audience. Rockwell's book is as pro-liberty as it is brutally critical of government. It is relentlessly forthright yet hopeful about the prospects for liberty. It is rigorous enough to withstand the enemy's closest scrutiny, and chock full of the energy and enthusiasm that will keep you reading.As a collection of speeches delivered over a period of ten years, Speaking of Liberty is long (470 pages), but it is the kind of book people will want to see in the hands of friends, family, and students. The book begins with economics, and explains why Austrian economics matters, how the Federal Reserve brings on the business cycle, why we need private property and free enterprise, the unrecognized glories of the capitalist economy, and why the gold standard is still the best monetary system. The remaining sections deal with war, Mises and his work, other important thinkers in the libertarian tradition, and the culture and morality of liberty.Autor:Año: Llewellyn RockellEncuadernación: tapa duraPáginas: 470Idioma: InglésEditorial: Ludwig von Mises InstituteThis volume's thirty-three speeches include:The Marvel That Is CapitalismA Secret History of the Boom and BustWhy Austrian Economics MattersThe Viability of the Gold StandardWhat Causes the Business Cycle?Is Inflation Dead?The Economics of DiscriminationMedicine and the StateWar and FreedomFree Trade versus WarTime to End Perpetual WarDown with the PresidencyWar and the Capitalist PressMises and LibertyAre We All Historians of Decline?The Promise of Human ActionHuman Action and the Politics of FreedomAgainst DestructionismAn American Classical LiberalismIn Defense of Public IntellectualsThe Sinful StateThe Real State of the UnionThe Transformation of American OpinionDawn Will Follow this DarknessThe Path to VictoryRockwell-Doherty InterviewRockwell-Kantor InterviewThe Wisdom of LeFevreHans Sennholz: Misesian for LifeThe Hayek MovementMurray N.
