The biggest change in the new MES is a fantastic new and creative introduction by Joseph Salerno. He evaluates its place in the history of ideas, with many surprises.
The Perl Harbor book looks interesting. The causes of the conflict between the US and Japan are still almost as taboo a subject as Lincoln.
You mean his grand treatise? I seem to recall hearing that it would take him around six years to write.
No, just the first one and a good chunk of the second.
If so, I’d like to find those. That way I can “read” them while at work.
They’re in the Mises media archive, under the audio books section.
Still going to buy the books someday, though. Something about owning a hardcopy…
Yeh, they’re on my to-buy list as well.

Where did you hear that. And that is unfortunate.
I’m not a big fan of audio tapes. Unless I listen to them on my way to university.
The good news is that they will be here in a couple of weeks.
This is indeed good new, I am waiting to purchase it for a pretty long time now(thought it to be my own personal christmas gift) ![]()

In all seriousness… if I could some how learn to read his longhand or handwriting style, so I could translate this:
I would.
Someone out there has got too. This can’t be lost… it can’t…
Why Mr. Tucker is right to assert what he did about the allure of the 5th volume being mostly contained in its myster, I’m sure if you wanted to first learn Rothbard’s longhand and then translate it on your own time over an extended period of time[probably the better part of all your free time for the better part of a decade] at the Mises library, Mr. Tucker would not stop you, would he?
Another option would just be scan it all and upload to pgdp.net, where it’ll get done much faster…
Rothbard’s typewriter must have broke down or something while the fifth volume was forming. I heard Walter Block remark while reflecting on his friendship with Murray that he would type 30 pages in a day which may have caused the sudden transition to longhand [:P].
I always wonder what happened to his typewriter. Either he threw it away or its sitting in some MNR fan’s collection. Murray’s typewriter is comparable to a holy grail of libertarianism.

I’d buy that typewriter a beer ([B]), anyday. [:D]
