New Treatise?

Does anyone know if Hoppe’s “Economy, Society, and History” will be available as a book any time soon?

Is it going to be a treatise?

Well, the 15 hours worth of material has been described as a “basis for a grand treatise.” Perhaps it is not one yet, but hopefully sometime in the future. I am also curious if some of Rothbard`s students (Block, Hoppe) will develop a treatise in the tradition of HA or MES. I hope something along those lines will be released. Any thoughts?

Perhaps Mr. Tucker could enlighten us . . .

Hoppe’s other books seem to be just loose collections of articles, so it will be interesting to see him write a treatise. I wonder if I should hold off writing my critiques of his theories of epistemology and ethics until its published, but that might be a while. We could use some more info on this. :slight_smile:

Hoppe is releasing a book in the future, which was mentioned on Mises.org, but I’ve forgotten the preliminary paper’s title. Anyone remember it?

I did not know that.  The only thing I could find was on Hoppe`s website, where one of his publications was described as part of a forthcoming book.

When Gary Schlaubaum introduced the award after his own name to Hoppe in 2006 he made reference to the fact that Hoppe is working on a “grand treatise on austrian economics and libertarianism”. I think I remember that rightly; go and watch the video,

Well, it seems like I don’t know anymore than what you know. There has been talk of this for some years, and certainly Hoppe’s lecture series seems to map out a book. I don’t know what kind of progress is being made on it or how much of a priority it is. I’ve not seen any sections of it or anything like that. So sorry I can’t be of more help! My guess is that the suspense will be over in 10 years or so!

I’d really like to see a full treatise on countereconomics. SEK3 had to go and die on us before he got that done. Inconsiderate of him.

The economics of counter (kitchen, bathroom, etc.) installation?

No; countereconomics refers to the strategy of creating and operating in peaceful black and gray markets to undermine taxes and state currency.

Oh holy wow. I think I might have found the idea towards which every event in my life and every aspect of my personality has been pushing me.

Pretty much what I thought when I discovered the concept. Information here: http://agorism.info

It’s primarily a strategy toward market anarchy, but of course one doesn’t have to be a market anarchist to participate. Common ground with a broad range of ideologies is one of the primary advantages of the concept.
