(Those are my precious Loeb Classical Library books making a cameo appearance on the top shelf.)
My collection of Austrian books isn’t as impressive as Le Master’s, but it consists of…
Menger’s Principles of Economics
Bohm-Bawerk’s Positive Theory of Capital
Mises’ Theory of Money and Credit
Mises’ Human Action
Hayek’s Prices and Production
Rothbard’s Classical Economics
Rothbard’s Economic Thought Before Adam Smith
Rothbard’s Mystery of Banking
Woods’ How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization
DiLorenzo’s How Capitalism Saved America
de Soto’s Money, Bank Credit and Economic Cycles
Rothbard’s Man, Economy, and State
Hazlitt’s Failure of the New Economics
Carabini’s Inclined to Liberty
Murphy’s P.I.G. to the Great Depression
A huge proportion of my “reading”, however, is in audio form. Besides these I’ve listened to Block’s Defending the Undefendable, Woods’ Meltdown and Rothbard’s Conceived in Liberty, Ethics of LIberty, For a New Liberty, The Case Against the Fed, What Has Government Done to Our Money, Economics 101, and much more. I’ve also read Rothbard’s entire History of Money and Banking in the United States and countless of his monographs online.
Four of the books pictured above (Menger’s Principles, de Soto’s MBCEC, Rothbard’s MESwPM, and Hazlitt’s FotNE) sit on my shelf courtesy of the generosity of Jeff Tucker, and his eagerness to support writers who are just starting out. Thank you again Mr. Tucker!
My mom currently has my Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. Also not included in my library pic are The Ethics of Liberty, which one of my little brothers is borrowing, and Economics in One Lesson, which another little brother is reading.
I have it on my Reader too. I’m considering putting it near the top of my long queue of books. You ought to put a review of it on Amazon.com if you’re up to it, liberty student.
Wowzers. I want those! Do you have every volume? I’m always on the lookout for an affordable auction of it on eBay. I also desperately want the complete Franklin Library. I found the complete OED 2nd Ed sealed for next to nothing and that’s where my AE books currently rest atop.
Oh no, not even close. The Loeb Library numbers in the hundreds; I only have 15. Most of my Greco-Roman reading is with the much more affordable Penguin Classics. But I love those too: beautiful covers, and superb introductions and footnotes.
The husband of one of my co-workers teaches Greek and Latin, and he got his school to buy the ENTIRE set for his classroom!
I’m not nearly organized enough to keep my books on an actual physical bookshelf together; however, I did find and start using Shelfari because of my slowly-expanding Austrian library. Seems like the perfect site for the people on here.
I attempted to sign into Shelfari, and it turns out that I registered two years ago. I didn’t even realize it. The site and concept seem pretty neat. I think I may set up my library on there over the next couple of days.
I would post mine but…Some books are on my iPod in audiobook form, others on the computer. Right now I have: America’s Great Depression, For a New Liberty, What Has Government Done to Our Money?, and Atlas Shrugged. I’m about halfway through For a New Liberty.
Most of my Greco-Roman reading is with the much more affordable Penguin Classics. But I love those too: beautiful covers, and superb introductions and footnotes.
