ENEMY OF THE STATE Why would a middle class white boy grow up to be an enemy of the State? That's a question I have asked myself for years. It was not always the case.

Juan: I am not sure whether you want a real conversation, but given your persistence, I'm willing to take the chance. Was what your score on the Austrian quiz? Mine was 95%. Not that it's that important; it just means I have some idea of what Austrian views are. The Austrian test "answer"...

Juan , I`m having difficulty continuing to find motivation to respond further in the face of your obtuseness, hostility and zero-sum approach to discussion. Even when we agree, you find a reason to crow and to question my good faith. You appear to not be remotely familiar with Austrian views on "environmental"...

hjmaiere: thanks for the engagement. Sorry you`re leaving so soon. Look, I`m strongly opposed to the war, too.

i don't see how critical reading precludes the existance of essential treatises. Can you name a monograph as instructive as 'human action' or 'man economy and state'?

Mises specifically refers to externalities. I have a post up on his thoughts and another post with links to other Austrians on environmental matters at my blog. The key point is that every externality is an opportunity and not a zero-sum game. Both sides win if information and transaction costs are reduced...

Hello,
I must admit that most of my knowledge comes from downloaded lectures I did listen to. I recall having listened to Hoppe, Raico, Salerno, Gordon and a view others. So far I peaked into only a few texts of Austrian authors like Boehm-Bawerk, von Wieser. I read the first half of Mengers principles...
