Ok,thanks.
And as for my contribution to this thread:
Man,Economy,and State
The Ethics of Liberty
Notes and Recollections
Thanks to my new kindle device, I'm reading a variety of books right now.
Just ordered
Democracy: The God That Failed - Hans Hoppe
The Tragedy of American Diplomacy - Appleman Williams
Debunking Economics - Steve Keen
Stock Markets, Credit and Capital Formation - Fritz Machlup
The Frontier in American History - Frederick Jackson Turner
Business as a System of Power - Robert Brady
The Anarch is to the Anarchist what the Monarch is to the Monarchist. -Ernst Jünger
Brace yourself. I read it, thought I agreed with much of the first part (not so much the rest of it), but suggestion is to read it and sit on it (think about it) over a long period of time. The longer I go after reading it the less I agree with it.
I'll be sure to read it with a marker in hand. But I couldn't help but think that Keen's macroeconomic outlook actually meshes pretty well with an Austrian's (for a Post-Keynesian).
Once you read the second part of the book you'll see how it doesn't as much as you think. I think Minsky's theories are somewhat similar, but Keen is more of a neo-Sraffian (and therefore more rooted in the Marxist tradition).
@ Bert
Could you tell me where Hegelian-Lacanian thought fits in with libertarianism? Until recently, I thought that it was directly contrary to it in it's ideas about how "other people make you who you are, and you make other people who they are." I thought this way until recently when I found out that early individualist guys like Stirner were influenced by Hegelian thought.
The Mathematics of Poker, by Bill Chen, Jerrod Ankenman.
I feel that some game theory here and there helps with understanding of economics.
So I am looking at my titanic Amazon Wish List
this looks like my top picks for any AE type of books, it's been reletavily stable for 2 or three years - I figure this will take about 4-7 yrs to plow through, though this doesn't look like too heavyof reading other than Shackle and Weiser:
The Economics of Time and Ignorance - O'Driscoll and Rizzo
The Counter Revolution of Science: FA Hayek
Phenomenology of The Social World: Alfred Schutz
Austrian Economics In America: The Migration of a Tradition - Karen Vaughn
Epistemics and Economics - GLS Shackel
Evolution of The Market Process: Austrian and Swedish Economics - Michel Bellet
The Invisible Hook - Peter Leeson
Antifragile - Nassim Taleb
Essays: Joseph Schumpeter
Governing The Commons: Elinor Ostrom
Social Economics -Freidrich von Wieser
A History of Post Keynesian Economics Since 1936: J.E. King
He's Just Not That Into You: The No Excuse Truth To Understanding Guys: Liz Tuccilo and Greg Behrendt
Shackle,Schutz, Weiser, Leeson, Taleb, and Vaughn are towards the top of my general list - so they will all probably be ordered by years end and read within 2 years
"As in a kaleidoscope, the constellation of forces operating in the system as a whole is ever changing." - Ludwig Lachmann
"When A Man Dies A World Goes Out of Existence" - GLS Shackle
vive la insurrection: He's Just Not That Into You: The No Excuse Truth To Understanding Guys: Liz Tuccilo and Greg Behrendt
Maybe it's just me, but I did not see that one coming.
I know most people like to read and have a full grasp of Competition and Entrepreneurship before delving into the higher theororetical aspects involved in this book - hopefully I am not being too arrogant in my intellectual assumptions, but I think I can manage understanding the content it provides.
Either way, I know it is a critical cornerstone for the Social Science manifesto I intend to write, so maybe I am a little over eager to race ahead rather than taking a more conservative walk along my intellectual path - but so be it.
Well played, good sir.
