Liberty Fund Inc HONG KONG DVD A Story of Human Freedom Progress
Book SynopsisThis DVD shows how the economic transformation of Hong Kong from a modest trading centre to a modern industrial and free-trade economy (prior to China's annexation) came about through a reliance on the market and economic liberty rather than on central planning through governmental direction. Great Britain established the crown colony of Hong Kong in 1841, just 65 years after the publication of 'The Wealth of Nations'. It was designated a free port from the start, with no duties or protective tariffs for its residents. This DVD takes an in-depth look at the economy of Hong Kong in its final days as a British colony. We see how it was transformed into a modern industrial economy solely by reliance on he invisible hand of the market. Seeing Hong Kong as a laboratory experiment that confirms Adam Smith's theories, the DVD outlines a proven strategy for the development of emerging economies and a powerful argument for a capitalist economy bolstered by balanced budgets, low tax rates, and a

Liberty Fund Inc Law the State Other Political Writings 18431850
Book SynopsisFrederic Bastiat (1801-1850) was a keen observer of political and economic problems and a passionate proponent of liberal economic theory. This book collects nineteen of Bastiat''s articles, ranging from the theory of value and rent, public choice and collective action, government intervention and regulation, the balance of trade, education, and trade unions to price controls, capital and growth, and taxation. Throughout his articles, Bastiat demonstrates how the combination of careful logic, consistency of principle, and clarity of exposition is the instrument for solving most economic and social problems. In his famous essay The Law Bastiat explains that the law, far from being what it ought to be, namely the instrument that enabled the state to protect individuals'' rights and property, had become the means for what he termed spoliation (or plunder). From the article The State written at the height of the 1848 Revolution in June, comes perhaps his best-remembered quotation: The stat

Liberty Fund Inc Ludwig von Mises
Book SynopsisThis is a collection of Israel M Kirzners work regarding his mentor, including a monograph on Mises and his work as well as several articles detailing how he impacted the world of economics. Kirzner showcases Mises as not only a man with a sparkling, fresh, fundamentally new interpretation of the tenets espoused by the Austrian school of economics, but also as Kirzners mentor and academic compatriot. To this end, Kirzners essays on Mises elucidate the work of both men and convey Misess ideas with unparalleled brilliance. For Kirzner, Mises is a man with a mission: to reignite economists search for truth. It was this mission that led both Mises and Kirzner to champion economic science and its teaching ie: the unhampered market and the system of free enterprise -- in response to the encroaching philosophical and economic shadow of socialism. As Kirzner put it, Mises saw the denial of economics as an alarming threat to a free society and to Western civilisation. It is economics that is a

Liberty Fund Inc ECONOMIC SENSE AND NONSENSE Reflections from
Book SynopsisThis book comprises a collection of sixty essays written by Anthony de Jasay for his monthly column Reflections from Europe, on Liberty Fund''s Library of Economics and Liberty website. The articles span the years 2008 to 2012 and focus on economic issues of topical concern in Europe. In this collection Jasay continues his explorations of a number of themes that he developed in his earlier articles, such as the importance of property rights, the role of contracts in economic activity, the proper limitations of the state, and the attitude of intellectuals concerning the regulation of the free market. With the outbreak of the economic crisis of mid-2008, Jasay spends considerable time discussing its origins, the reactions of governments in both Europe and the United States, and the ensuing euro crisis, thus adding another dimension to his analysis of the economic woes of the industrialised world. Jasay''s analysis demonstrates that the post-World War II experiment in building welfare states in Europe has reached a crisis point that will require deep and radical changes in thinking both by intellectuals about the nature of free markets and by policy makers about the intended and unintended impact of the regulations they adopt.

University of Alberta Press Boom and Bust Again Policy Challenges for a
Book SynopsisFacing and overcoming destabilizing challenges associated with the historical phenomenon of boom-and-bust economies.Trade Review"Boom and Bust Again is stuffed with valuable information and ideas for improving the way the provincial government manages Alberta's wealth. The many contributors are not only talented, most of them have hard-won experience with Alberta's booms and busts. So the economic theory presented here is tempered like good steel by the hot and cold of Alberta's economic performance over many decades. Every chapter is valuable. I hope the next volume focuses on related issues, including an in-depth analysis of personal and corporate taxes, profits, and royalties." Kevin Taft, September 2013"As the Alberta economy is stressed and government deficits rise, our new government--with its different perspective--needs to address the issues raised in this collection and implement some of the advice offered, as it has already done in stabilizing expenditures. The public needs to be better informed and willing to pay the taxes necessary to pay for the quality public services it expects. This work is a positive addition to accomplish these goals." -- Greg Flanagan * Alberta Views *"[Boom and Bust Again] paints a bleak picture: Alberta's public finances are overly dependent on volatile non-renewable energy resources, we are failing future generations by failing to save enough from these depleting resources,and taxes alone are too low to pay for the services we currently demand.... The authors are clear about what we need from the government: more evidence-based decision making, better communication with the electorate and stakeholders and a commitment to savings..." -- David K.
