We are delighted to announce that Peter Lewin will be guest blogging with us through the summer.
For those of you who don't know Peter, you should, and not just because he's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, or because if you buy him tea, he'll be your best friend forever. Peter's 1999 book Capital and Disequilibrium is perhaps the best post-Lachmann treatment of Austrian capital theory as well as being an important contribution to the theory of the firm. Peter has written extensively on those issues and many others, including contributions to the management literature. You can find a recent list of Peter's publications, with links, here.
Peter also has the unique pedigree of being an undergraduate student of Ludwig Lachmann's and having written a dissertation under Gary Becker. That gives him a powerful lens on modern Austrian economics, with a background in both the most radical of Austrians and the most mainstream of neoclassical economists. We look forward to Peter's contributions.
Very much looking forward to Peter's posts!

Greetings. (Hi Mario, Nicolas and Troy! :-)). Thank you Steve for your kind introduction. (I hope it will not be considered tacky for me to mention that there is a second edition (available) of my book on capital available from Mises.org.)
I am very happy to have received this invitation to guest-blog on this site. Needless to say I my own interests are very close to those of hosts - whose work I greatly admire. I look forward to an enriching learning experience.
I have my first submission cooking and will post it soon.
