|Peter Boettke|
A group of my students and the indespensible Peter Lipsey have created a Facebook album on my book, Living Living Economics. I am biased no doubt, but I was pleasantly surprised by this and found it to creative and very entertaining.
Here is a review of the book that has appeared in Finland. And over at Amazon, the book is being sold in a package with Larry White's The Clash of Economic Ideas.
The Independent Institute has produced a detailed summary as well.
As I have explained on multiple ocassions, this particular project was inspired by a trip that Chris Coyne and I made to Universidad Francisco Marroquin in June 2011, and we were both so impressed with UFM and the dedication to ideas and the communication of ideas through education and research that in conversations between us this project was conceived. UFM is a very unique place and please do consider supporting their efforts to educate. Check out the Friends of UFM and consider joining the Manuel F. Ayau Society.
Pete: Your book's gotta be good if Mises likes it. Mises is always right! :-)

Mises is right with apodictic certainty.

You know, I am reminded sometimes of the quip that The New York Review of Books should be re-named "The New York Review of one another's Books," and so you can understand why I might not find reviews and blurbs of Pete Boettke's new book by his Austrian colleagues all that compelling, but, let me say this, I have just finished reading the Independent Institute review (which is linked above), and it convinced me to purchase the book. The book seems to be the culmination of everything Dr. Boettke has been teaching and saying for the last 10 years, and so, in that sense, this book seems to me to be a monumental achivement for him. Congratulations, Dr. Boettke. I do look forward to reading it. This book also seems to be one that ONLY Dr. Boettke can write. Discussions of Buchanan, Boulding, and Hayek is something that only Dr. Boettke can pull off.
Congratulations!

Cartea pare a fi punctul culminant a tot ceea ce Dr. Boettke a fost de predare şi să spună în ultimii 10 ani, şi astfel, în acest sens, această carte mi se pare a fi un monumental achivement pentru el. Felicitări, Dr. Boettke. Eu nu aştept cu nerăbdare să-l citesc. Aceasta carte, de asemenea, pare a fi una pe care doar Dr. Boettke poate scrie. Discuţii de Buchanan, Boulding, şi Hayek este ceva ce doar dr. Boettke poate scoate.
