I’m going to check out (well, request from another branch) Human Action from my local library.
Also, hello. First-time poster, long time reader (sort of - been reading articles for a while now, just started browsing the forums).
Welcome!
Are you asking if checking out Human Action from a public library will destroy the space-time continuum?
Precisely. ; )
Go for it. This space time continuum is overrated anyway.
Welcome to mises btw.
you’ll be fine so long as you don’t cross the beams
I bet it has been gathering dust until Ron Paul started his bout for presidency… it it still comes with the old-fashioned loan card inside the cover have a look at how many times it has been checked out.
I worked as a librarian in the past and I have developed a certain sense for these things. The “worst” book you can ask in a public library is Hitler’s Mein Kampf not because you’ll be branded as a Nazi but because so many copies are lost and vandalized each year that librarians will be extra careful before approving your loan. The second “worst” book you can ask is Herman Hesse’s Siddharta . Don’t ask me why but we lost four-fives copies of that book each year…
