Official Reading Group Thread

It seems like we have a lot of demand for Hazlitt’s work, so I think that’s a given (shall I create a thread for it?)

I’d like to see opinions of Mises’s various epistemological works before I create a thread on that. I’d be open to Theory and History too, but that’s long as well. We’ll see how it goes :wink:

Edit: Okay, UFoES it is. Would it be redundant to couple it with Hoppe’s Economic Science and the Austrian Method?

I personal would like to group read Mises Socialism or Hazlitt’s Failure of New Economics

NAA are you open to Ultimate Foundation or are you more partial to a longer epistemological work?

@Jargon

Yes, I think it’ll be a good read. I’ll get to his longer works on another occasion.

Which should we do first?

@Oldguy

Thanks for the info. I think grouping them will be a good idea then.

Do it. YOLO

Not necessarily. Hoppe, in that work, states that Mises hinted that the basis of Epistemology is Praxeological and doesn’t fully develop it. In that brief work (90 pages), Hoppe expands on this. In other words, I think that, based on what Hoppe says in his work, Economic Science and the Austrian Method is a great supplement for The Ultimate Foundations of Economic Science.

I’m good with that.

It sounds like “Ultimate Foundations” would be the better of the two according to Ari - never read it, but if what he said is true, that would be the better epistemological works to discuss.

Theory and History is what I call one of Mises “Big 4” - and probably my fav read of them - though, as you pointed out it may be too big of a work for a form discssion group.

Either way, if you do any Mises discussions I’m game - let me know

@Vive - If you didn’t see it: "Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science" Reading Group Thread

Sent this info to the Ron Paul forum to see if we can further the support.

Is anyone interested in a reading group for any of the following:

America’s Great Depression

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal

A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism

Socialism

Marxism Unmasked

Requiem for Marx

The Failure of the “New Economics”

Where Keynes Went Wrong

Economics for Real People

How An Economy Grows and Why It Crashes

Economic Sophisms

I’d love to have a reading group about America’s great depression. I read parts of it back in the day, but I didn’t really understand it back then so I’d like to have another go.

Anyone else interested in America’s Great Depression?

Or any of the other books I mentioned?

I’ve read How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes. I thought it was good book and wouldn’t mind joining a discussion on it.

As for other books that I would be interested in reading, I am afraid I haven’t read very many, so I wouldn’t know where to start. Of course if there is a reading group starting up on a good entry-level book I wouldn’t mind joining.

Okay so…
