Individualism and the Philosophy of the Social Sciences

Miscellaneous General
1

This is a book by Murray Rothbard, which I’d never really heard about. It has been in several of his footnotes, on other papers written about the subject.

It was published by Cato, in 1979 - so I’m guessing it’s stuck in IP chains? That and Cato hates Rothbard, so they won’t republish.

Has anyone read it? Is there much in there, that is not in his other works? Is there a pdf of it anywhere? Curious.

Thanks!

It’s only 67 pages. Hmmm…

Well, we know it’s in the LVMI library: http://mises.org/book.aspx?Id=19250. Maybe Jeffrey can shed some light on this?

I’ve read it, but can’t remember that there was much in it that isn’t in his other works. I remember it as basically a restatement of his vision, which can be found in his papers and books which are published by the Mises Institute.

I have a copy. It is part of the “Cato Papers”, Cato’s series of monographs. There were a total of 16. Have been trying to get a complete set of them. Currently have 7 of them. Amoung the rest is an updated version of “Tiger by the Tail” and “Fiat Money Inflation in France”. There were 2 works by Rothbard, and 2 by Hayek in the series, along with a third with contributions by Rothbard.

It used to be that many of the libertarian groups publishing stuff had numbered series of monographs (IHS had several, CLS had one, Cato, even FEE).
