I was reading this morning’s story “The 19th-Century Bernanke” and it included a lot of uncited quotes and information. I’ve noticed that other mises.org articles do this and was wondering if there was any way to find out where some of the information and quotes the authors are using is gathered from.
Thank you!
Anyone?
The article was originally published on the author’s personal blog, here: https://forum.freecapitalists.org/blogs/lilburne/archive/2009/08/08/235270.aspx . Ask him.
‘All quotations regarding Biddle and his times are from H.W. Brands, 2005, Andrew Jackson: His Life and Times.’
Thank you very much. I’ve been wanting to find a book about Andrew Jackson as well, so I appreciate the help. I will give that book a look.
Thank you Laughing Man. The way that citation was placed underneath my bio made it hard to notice. I hope other people don’t miss it like jmorris did and think I’m being irresponsible.
Don’t worry about it. I was lazy and missed it. I am sort of new to the Mises web site so am still getting used to a few things.
Thank you for the article. It was a very good read!
Yea, I wish the Mises Institute did their citation like the LRC does. Its like a turabian, easier to read.
I think numbered footnotes would be better for the article, which is excellent and intriguing, but probably appears doubtful to the casual reader without any footnotes. For example, this article uses the “giant quotation marks” style but includes numbered footnotes anyway. Doesn’t look quite as nice, though.
