   TAGS SocialismStrategy Political Theory Private Property Hans-Hermann HoppeNarrator: Paul StrikwerdaIn June 2004, Professor Hoppe visited the Mises Institute in Auburn to deliver an ambitious series of lectures titled Economy, Society, and History.

Here we find provocative themes developed by Hoppe in the 1980s and 90s, particularly in his essays found in A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism and The Economics and Ethics of Private Property. We also find his devastating critique of democracy, made famous in his seminal book Democracy—The God That Failed. This audiobook is narrated by Paul Strikwerda. audio file READ MORE

\r\n\r\nTAGS Austrian Economics \r\n\r\nRichard CantillonCantillon\'s Essai sur la Nature du Commerce en Général should be rightfully considered one of the most important books ever written. It is the first statement of economic theory and not just a single or limited breakthrough, but a comprehensive treatment that explains the organization of commercial society. Prior to Cantillon, writings about the economy were largely driven by considerations of religion, ideology, and interests groups. After Cantillon, there was a scientific model that could be understood and applied. Most importantly, when it was properly understood and applied, it unleashed the market economy and generated great prosperity (from the Introduction).This audio book is made available through the generosity of Mr. Tyler Folger.

 \r\n\r\n\r\nTAGS Free Markets Monopoly and Competition Subjectivism \r\nWalter BlockThe true test of our commitment to personal liberty doesn\'t come when we permit others to engage in those peaceable, voluntary acts with which we agree. It comes when we permit others to engage in peaceable, voluntary acts we find offensive. Walter Block\'s Defending the Undefendable II contains thirty chapters defending behavior that is probably offensive to most Americans, and many that are downright illegal. \r\nThis book features a foreword by Ron Paul. Narrated by Patrick Smith.\r\n\r\n\r\n audio file READ MORE

TAGS  Calculation and Knowledge Interventionism Political Theory  Hans-Hermann Hoppe's first treatise in English — actually his first book in English — and the one that put him on the map as a social thinker and economist to watch. He argued that there are only two possible archetypes in economic affairs: socialism and capitalism. All systems are combinations of those two types. The capitalist model he defines as pure protection of private property, free association, and exchange — no exceptions. All deviations from that ideal are species of socialism, with public ownership and interference with trade. Narrated by Jim Vann. audio file READ MORE

TAGS War and Foreign Policy Political Theory Hans-Hermann Hoppe takes on the most difficult subject in economic and political theory: the provision of security.

Here we have an important updating of an argument rarely made even in the libertarian tradition. Narrated by Jim Vann. audio file READ MORE

 TAGS  Big Government Political Theory  Louis E. Carabini Advancing social ideas that do not demand obedience or compliance requires far more personal patience than simply forcing others to comply via the political ballot box. The widely held idea that dicta and force can serve a useful purpose will eventually fade into backward thinking in the so-called public sector as it has in the private sector. Time, nature, reason, and the human spirit will see to that. Irrespective of good intentions or the approval by consensus, nature's unrelenting will gradually drive ruling political authorities to extinction.Narrated by Daniel Bennett. audio fileREAD MORE

 TAGS  EducationMurray N. Rothbard What is it about today's school system that so many find unsatisfactory? Why have generations of reformers failed to improve the educational system, and, indeed, caused it to degenerate further and further into an ever declining level of mediocrity?In this radical and scholarly monograph, Murray N. Rothbard identifies the crucial feature of our educational system that dooms it to fail: at every level, from financing to attendance, the system relies on compulsion instead of voluntary consent. In contrast, a market-based system of schools would adhere to a purely voluntary ethic, financed with private funds, and istered entirely by private enterprise.This audiobook is made available through the generosity of Mr. Tyler Folger.
