READINGS and RE-READINGS
As timely as ever
A timely re-reading is the analysis of the Great Depression in Banking and the Business Cycle  
by T .F. McManus and R. W. Nelson, published in 1937.
From the Foreword: "It is a melancholy fact that each generation must relearn the fundamental principles of
money in the bitter school of experience. The inflationists, it would seem, we always have with us. It is
nevertheless a duty of economists to devote attention to periodic reiteration of the ancient truths of monetary
science; it is necessary to make as familiar as possible the workings of the financial machinery if further
errors are to be avoided in the future. It is to the mismanagement of the monetary mechanism that most of
our recent troubles are chiefly ascribable."

"America's Great Depression" by Murray N. Rothbard gives an account of the causes of the Great
Depression that is quite different from the story usually told in the textbooks of history and economics.
Unlike Milton Friedman and others, Rothbard finds the origin of the Great Depression in the excessive
credit expansion of the 1920s. Rich in historical details, the book also provides an outline of the Austrian
theory of the business cycle.

The basic principle of
ordo-libertarianism
is
most clearly expressed
in a phrase by Ludwig
von Mises:
"All that good government
can do to improve the
material well-being of the
masses is to establish
and to preserve an
institutional setting in
which there are no
obstacles to the
progressive
accumulation of new
capital and its utilization
for the improvement of
technical methods of
production." -

"There is in the course of
human events no stability
and consequently no safety."
Ludwig von Mises,
Human Action
"What distinguishes the
Austrian School and will
lend it everlasting fame
is its doctrine of
economic action, in
contrast to one of
economic equilibrium or
nonaction." -
