Resumen:
Tomado de Amazon: "Here is the book to learn classical liberalism from
the ground up, written by the foremost historian in the Austrian
tradition--Ralph Raico. Every student, scholar, and freedom fan must
have a copy of Classical Liberalism and the Austrian School at hand,
readying them for intellectual battle!It is indeed rare to study
directly under two giants of the Austrian School. Raico wrote his
dissertation under the direction of F.A. Hayek at the University of
Chicago after being admitted as a high school student to Ludwig von
Mises’s NYU seminar in New York. Raico and his friend and fellow Mises
seminar attendee, Murray Rothbard, would turn into the modern champions
of true liberalism. Raico takes on all comers, disposing of all
opponents of the market from Keynesian to Marxists and everyone in
between, with crackling prose and sizzling wit. The liberal history
comes alive with Raico’s pen, and at the same time quenches the reader’s
thirst for detail, infusing an excitement that urges the reader to
further explore. Raico’s breadth of scholarship is on full display,
combining insights and arguments from disparate points. He provides
clarity to a history that is often slanted and distorted. Multiple
reference lists contained in the book will serve as a classical liberal
treasure trove for students and scholars for decades to come.In his
foreword, Austrian School scholar Jörg Guido Hülsmann, credits Raico
with educating modern Germans about fellow countryman and forgotten
liberal champion, Eugen Richter. Furthermore, the book’s preface by
Raico’s friend and colleague, David Gordon, is both extensive and
illuminating." --
