Daniel:I wonder if she believes in one of the main tenets of feminism; that women are paid lesser wages because they are women.
Slight mischaracterisation. And Austrian Economics/libertarianism has nothing to criticise this.
The preferences of society could be arranged in such a way...
The difference between libertarianism and socialism is that libertarians will tolerate the existence of a socialist community, but socialists can't tolerate a libertarian community.
Also she contrasts herself as an individualist feminist vs. gender feminists
Le Master:Laughing man and everyone else, you should post reviews on Amazon of the Austrian books you have. I made a post recently about it: http://mises.org/Community/forums/t/11587.aspx
Really a good idea.
I base lots of my buying decisions on the reviews of others on Amazon, and most people don't bother to review, so we could probably exert an influence. Think about it, if there are lots of reasoned 4 and 5 star reviews on books we see as good, people will be influenced to at least take them into consideration.
I do market research & odd tasks associate with the production of those reports, like graphics programming, Excel VBA, pseudo-data processing, etc.
I acquired the lion's share of those books during grad school where they were required readings. I do have to admit that there are a few books on that list which I've not read in their entirety, and one or two that I haven't read at all :(

This is a little off topic, but I think it's kind of cool.
I kept seeing the word panphysicalism appear in many Austrian books, usually those written by Mises and Hazlitt. When I looked it up, I found that it is in virtually no dictionary, nor is it on Wikipedia.
So, I compiled dozens of quotes from a lot of sources (many non-Austrian) dating through the present (the final one being in 2008 by Huerta de Soto) and submitted my findings to the Oxford English Dictionary.
The Oxford University Press contacted me recently saying that the word will appear in an upcoming quarterly update.
Right now, I'm compiling quotations which use the adjective Misesian. It's been used more than enough by a variety of sources over the years to be regarded officially as a word. I can see a Lew Rockwell quotation making an appearance in the OED in the future.

Cool indeed.
What about thymology ?
By the way, lewrockwell.com worthy? Send anyway, he'd like to know.
Yeah, thymology is not in the OED. It has a significant usage too. I'll work on submitting it also.
I was carrying a stack of my Austrian books to my car today (which was parked in the street) and something pretty amusing happened. The Privatization of Roads and Highways by Block fell and landed in a puddle of mud in the road.
I like to keep my books in pristine condition, so I'm pretty bummed. I've trying to clean it all day, but it's ruined.
Lilburne: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.
Lilburne: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!
So, Lilburn, I've been pretty obsessed lately because of you. I've spent many hours on eBay, Amazon and AbeBooks the past few days trying to find good deals on Loebs. And when I'm not doing that, I'm here reading them virtually. Man oh man.
You must have been torn between laughing at the irony and lamenting your misfortune. You should send the anecdote to Block.

Good luck!

That link is broken. Which ones are you reading?
Lilburne:That link is broken. Which ones are you reading?
Try this.
Right now I'm reading Appian's Roman History III: The Civil Wars, Books 1-3.26.
Le Master:Try this.
Thank you for that resource!!!

Nice!

Wow!
Wow, indeed. What drool-worthy collection, Ryan.
Lilburne, my bibliophile-photographer friend on flickr took this picture of his Loeb collection for me the other day. I thought I'd share it with you.
Le Master,
I love that bookcase. I'm not quite mature enough to have something so elegant yet. :)
Haha, me neither, Ryan. I think my flickr friend is, though -- he's about 65-years old. I hope to have something like that when I "grow up".
I don't own a single physical Mises book yet, but I think that I am going to buy myself the full Höppe collection for Christmas, since they are not online.
Almost every book from the Mises store is available through the official torrent. link

I just imagined to myself what my Resevoir Dogs, Natural Born Killers and Rage Against the Machine posters would like hanging above that bookshelf. haha
