Review of The Voluntary City: Choice, Community, and Civil Society, by David T. Beito, Peter Gordon, and Alexander Tabarrok, eds.
Volume 7, No. 2 (Summer 2004)
Perhaps the best concise summary of this book is given by editor Alexander Tabarrok in his concluding chapter. As he points out, where most urbanists see market failures, the authors of The Voluntary City see market opportunities. Needless to say, such a perspective will come as a shock to theorists and practitioners whose raison d’être is built around notions such as public goods and externalities.

Review of The Bias Against Guns: Why Almost Everything You’ve Heard About Gun Control is Wrong, by John R. Lott, Jr.
Volume 7, No. 3 (Fall 2004)
The Bias Against Guns is overall a less technical book than More Guns, Less Crime, but in its later chapters, quite a few portions are still way over the heads of most laypersons (Poisson regressions and all). Bias seeks to explain why the costs of gun ownership to society are emphasized by the government and media over the benefits; despite the fact that the best evidence shows that the benefits clearly outweigh the costs.
