I have a creeping suspicion that we don’t give Robert Higgs enough attention and credit on these boards.
fephisto - thanks i will check it out. I flipped through like 3 or 4 rothbard books that i thought i could of been in. over looked that.
whey - Strange that i just started reading my first book from him today. Why do you say that?
Because looking at his work he seems like a historian who has done a whole bunch of analysis, and I don’t see him mentioned too much.
Ya thats exactly what I thought too. When I was looking for something about the panic of 1873 i came across the “transformation of the America economy from1865-1914” looks pretty good
I’m really interested in reading that book as well, as I’ve heard that it discusses protection of the environment through property rights (if I am not mistaken).

For the people who have read Man, Economy, and State, how long did it take you to read, and how many pages did you read per day (or how much time did you spend reading it each day)?
I’ve been starting to wonder…
This forum awards “points” to users based on the number of replies to their posts. Does anyone agree that this dynamic would tend to encourage trolls? I can just imagine them having contests with each other:
“Tee hee! This time I got to 1,000 points in only 1 day on the Mises forum!”
“Har har har! I got 10,000 points with only 50 posts but it took a week”
“We’re so cool! Let’s register more accounts tomorrow let’s see who gets 10,000 first!”
The incentives are all wrong…
No, because the points honestly don’t mean anything.
Maybe they don’t mean anything to anyone except the trolls. A dead squirrel attracts plenty of flies.
It sort of goes along with the theory of my list. Probably too much time on my hands to look at trolls in such a way.
Past week I’ve been in the Shenandoah mountains and floating around Skyline Drive, now comfortably back home. When I was up there I actually went into the visitor center this time where you learn the history of the development of the park. It was pretty much a Herbert Hoover/FDR worship center that even played the same folk song over and over praising either of the two (I don’t remember which, really statist and laughable lyrics that would have made Guthrie shoot himself). Though, they didn’t hesitate in showing some dark facts. I cannot remember names, but obviously people lived in those hills where they wanted to construct this massive public works project. They sent a woman who was a teacher to train some of the people up there, as well with two sociologists, she reported her findings that people who lived in those areas were unfit to take care of themselves and should be moved for their own benefit (how convenient), and after these reports she convinced the government to give her a position overseeing the displacement of the local people (make a bias report and convince those who sent you to give you an official position based on the unquestioned report you wrote). They did have a few records on the walls of people being paid to have new homes that wasn’t in the way of construction, but I don’t know the numbers of the amount of people displaced compared to those who were actually compensated for their removal.
Here’s an article going over some of the history.
I guess, praxeologically, both statues suffice for both titles.

Homework assignment - I have to create a manual or a feasibility report and i really wanted to do one on something related to socialism or capitalism. (this is a technical writing class)
The topic needs to be approved by my professor and she keeps shooting down my ideas because it needs to be for an actual business i worked for or a nonprofit organization.
Any ideas? So it looks like i will have to do a manual, but what type of manual can i do on socialism or capitalism that has a specific target audience?
Not sure if this fits Grant, but I’ll throw it out there to help you, and/or to give the idea to someone else since I’m sure It’s a project I’ll never get around to since I hate programming.
The idea is for a webpage and forum based around promoting and boycotting eveyday products and companies based upon the Capitalist vs Socialist/Corporatist ideals ,and actions of their companies. Funded by pay per click advertising.
edit: oops missed this part
it needs to be for an actual business i worked for or a nonprofit organization.
