Timothy P. Roth
Edward Elgar, 2004, 168 pgs.
 

Timothy Roth is neither an Austrian economist nor an advocate of libertarian natural rights. For those of us who accept these positions, though, his book performs a great service. Unfortunately, our views do not command much attention among mainstream economists and political theorists. Roth defends a free economy through an alternative strategy.

The Myth of Altruistic War

THE JUST WAR REVISITED
Oliver O’Donovan
Cambridge University Press, 2003, ix + 139 pgs.

Oliver O’Donovan, one of the leading moral theologians in the Church of England, calls to our attention a vital point. If we take account of his insight, we can grasp immediately why the invasion of Iraq is an unjust war. (The book appeared before the invasion; O’Donovan bears no responsibility for my use of what he says.)
