This makes me mad, because I have the Liberty Fund version and this one seems a lot nicer. I guess I could buy this one, and give the other one away as a gift. Has Mises.org ever considered attempting at another translation? I’ve heard that this is one of the more poorly translated works of Ludwig von Mises (and it is one of his most important).
Why do we need another edition when we have the LF edition??? I just don’t see the value in competing editions. I’d rather see the Institute put their resources in bringing out NEW books or bring books BACK into print, then duplicating what other publishers (Liberty Fund, Libertarian Press, etc) has in print.
See the price. Also see the design. Finally, this has a Rothbard intro and a French preface. As for putting resources into other things, it is not an either/or situation. And doing this book actually saves us money. But, hey, if you don’t like it…
I think I’m going to do the same, Jonathan. I have the LF edition, but I want this one. So, I think I’m just going to give it to someone.
You guys at the LVMI really do an outstanding job, Mr. Tucker. I have purchased several of your books, and I have printed others on pdf. I have also given your books to friends of mine.
Thanks for your efforts. I, for one, can say that the institute and this web site have helped awaken me from the Red/Blue paradigm. Thanks again.
Bought a e-book reader and now I’m in love with Mises.org, if I could buy a little more time before I die…
I would really really like to see more books in hardcover. I’m buying Prices and Interest and Pure Theory of Capital on Amazon because the LVMI only has paper back.
Read the LF edition 20 years ago (almost exactly), about a year after returning from an exchange scholarship in the former East Germany, at a time when all literature from the Soviet Union was deemed “too liberal,” due to Glasnost and Perestroika.
Why not just download the PDF and toss it on your Kindle, like I’ll probably do? I have a veritable moveable Austrian feast, of sorts, already on it.
Thank you, Jeff Tucker and LvMI, for helping us spread the truth!
Argh, I bought the Liberty Fund version like a month ago! I can’t even give it to someone as a gift, because I don’t know anyone who’d be able to read it and actually enjoy it.
Well, I guess this will go on the long list of things to buy from here.
For me, I’m a book nut.
I don’t like hardbacks, I prefer paperback. Cost is part of the reason. The difference in price could go to buy more books!
I don’t want to get multiple versions of the same book, so don’t understand the need for competing versions. Its just confusing. I’ve been slowly getting all the Liberty Fund editions of Mises works.
I DO love all the new/reprinted books LvMI is doing. Just think that duplicating works available now from other publishers makes little sense. Am awaiting the new version of “Logic of Action” by Rothbard you guys promised to come out with a couple of years ago as “Economic Controversies” (I believe the title was).
Whatever the cover, it is the context with which you approach the first chapter. Mises was in first flight and the context is everything. Joy is everywhere.
From the tedious 19th century german pedantics to the momentous, Mises opens vista after vista as he races ahead of his teachers.
