Two new issues of the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics [1] are now available online.
Vol. 22, no. 4 [2] features an article by Dr. Mark Thornton on an unpublished note from the early 1960s by Murray Rothbard on the economics of antebellum slavery [3]. Other highlights include a response by Dr. Joseph Salerno to Dr. Karl-Friedrich Israel on the wealth effect and the law of demand [4], as well as a book review from Dr. David Gordon of Janek Wasserman's book The Marginal Revolutionaries: How Austrian Economists Fought the War of Ideas. [5]
Vol 23. no. 1 [6] includes an interesting look [7] by Dr. Mark A. DeWeaver at extending Austrian business cycle theory to the command economy, demonstrating that Mises’s socialist commonwealth would not be free from Rothbardian error cycles. Other notable articles include a critique of intellectual property [8] by Dr. Jakub Bożydar Wiśniewski, a tribute to Oskar Morganstern [9] from Dr. Richard Ebeling, and a response from Márton Kónya [10] to the economic analysis of The People’s Republic of Walmart.
