This book is a collection of ten previously published essays that address some of the most important questions of twentieth-century America. Robert Higgs provides detailed answers that challenge government propaganda of our past and provides ammunition for present and future policy deliberations. The essays are well-written, easily accessible, and to the point. The book will appeal to conservatives, liberals, and libertarians.
In 1920 Mises presented his famous essay on socialism, which would change, and eventually destroy, the whole scientific case for Marxist socialism (Mises 1990). Afterward, no one could seriously defend that doctrine. Mises argued that socialism cannot be effectively organized because of the “calculation problem.” He based his analysis on the comparison of central planning to the private property regime. Here is a brief summary of his argument.

Dinosaur reveals many relevant truths that do not appear in World Bank financial statements and press release while reviewing much of the relevant literature. But such oversights are perhaps to be expected in a short manuscript. In the process, Hooke provides a much needed service. If the World Bank ever does go the way of the dinosaurs, he will have gone far in explaining why.
