Review by Paul Gottfried
David Gordon, from the Foreword:
Shortly after Murray Rothbard’s lamented death in January, 1995, Lew Rockwell telephoned me. He asked me to write a book review journal for the Mises Institute, covering new books in philosophy, history, politics, and economics. Moreover, he wanted the first issue in one month. I managed to meet the deadline and continued to write the journal for a number of years. Articles from The Mises Review form the bulk of the material included in these volumes; but a few reviews from other sources are here as well. Ever since I first read Man, Economy, and State in 1962, I have been a convinced Rothbardian, and it is from this standpoint that I have written my articles.
David Gordon is Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute and editor of the Mises Review.
In this week’s Friday Philosophy, Dr. David Gordon takes on the question of unjust laws. Under what circumstances should people obey them anyway. Murray Rothbard helps to provide an answer.
In this week’s Friday Philosophy, Dr. David Gordon reviews Fred Reed’s latest work, which lambasts the American propensity to fight pointless yet destructive wars abroad, all the while destroying what is left of what was once a decent society at home.
Dr. David Gordon examines Hayek's reply to Galbraith, "The Non Sequitur of the 'Dependence Effect,'" showing why the claim that advertising-created wants are less "real" would, taken seriously, dismiss all of civilization.
