While I agree with Austrian economists on economics and the free market, I do find it hard for me to grasp their anti-war stance. Let's be honest, most people don't like war, but to believe that you can avoid war by just isolating yourself seems hard for me to believe. There are books out now...

I'm reading through Human Action at the moment. My introduction to Austrian Econ. So far I think it's great, most of it seems solid (though I don't know what significant conclusions it's leading to, but I'll find out soon). I especially like that they did away with that silly notion...
