I was just browsing the new introduction to Richard von Strigl's Capital and Production (pdf), and saw that it mentioned a number of Austrian works I was unaware of. The first work is an anthology compiled by Israel Kirzner, Classics in Austrian Economics, which appears to have a number of interesting articles not available on mises.org. I tried a Google search for some of them, but I can't find anywhere hosting the articles. Does anybody know where I can find them?

My other question regards the works produced by the Austrian Institute for Business Cycle Research. The second footnote in the introduction to Capital and Production lists the following "pioneering works of this time" produced by the Institute in its series "Contributions to Business Cycle Research":

Beitrage zur Konjunkturforschung, edited by the Osterreichischen Instirut fur Konjunkturforschung. The first seven volumes in this series are all classics of Austrian economics: F.A. Hayek, Geldtheorie und Konjunkturtheorie (Vienna: Holder- Pichler-Tempsky, 1929); Fritz Machlup, Borsenkredit, Industriekredit und Kapitalbildung (Vienna: Springer, 1931); F.A. Hayek, Preise und Produktion (Vienna: Springer, 1933); Erich Schiff, Kapitalbildung und Kapitalaufzehrung im Konjunkturverlauf (Vienna: Springer, 1933); Oskar Morgenstern, Die Grenzen der Wirtschaftspolitik (Vienna: Springer, 1934); Fritz Machlup, Fuhrer durch die Krisenpolitik (Vienna: Manz, [1934] 1998); and Richard von Strigl, Kapital und Produktion (Munich: Philosophia, [1934] 1982). After Mises's departure from Vienna in 1934, Morgenstern, who in 1931 had succeeded Hayek as the director of the Institute, set out to
publish works with a markedly less Austrian orientation. See for example volume eight in the series, Ragnar Nurske, Internationale Kapitalbewegungen (Vienna: Springer, 1935).

Evidently, a number of these have been translated into English, but some appear (to my knowledge) not to have been. Is this the case, and if so, are there any plans to translate them?
