The Next Generation of Austrian Economics: Essays in Honor of Joseph T. Salerno
Foreword by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
After Joey Rothbard’s death, I flew to New York to organize the disposal of Murray and Joey’s goods according to their wills. Books and papers went to the Mises Institute, of course, where they are the center of our library and archives. But my strongest memory, aside from ineffable sadness, was the printed document on the small table next to Murray’s reading chair in the living room. It was Joe Salerno’s doctoral dissertation.
Introduction by Per Bylund and David Howden
Ten years ago Joe Salerno inherited the Mises Institute’s summer fellowship program from his predecessor, Jörg Guido Hülsmann. Generously funded by Peg Rowley, summer fellows are given time to study Austrian economics firsthand with some of the current masters. Not only is a sense of camaraderie inculcated amongst the participants, but they are also given access to the world’s best Austrian economics library and other resources.

Protecting the Most Vulnerable
In a Wall Street Journal article “GOP Targets Medicaid, Food Stamps” Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), top member of the Democratic caucus on the Senate Budget Committee, is quoted as saying, “I will do everything in my power to make sure we pass a budget that does not harm the most vulnerable Americans”.

Conscription has become an issue in Ukraine where young men are attempting to avoid compulsory military service. But Ukraine is not unique, and states across the globe and throughout history have imposed the 100-percent tax known as “the draft.”
