Story
Noam Chomsky is widely known and deeply admired for being the founder of modern linguistics, one of the founders of the field of cognitive science, and perhaps the most avidly read political theorist and commentator of our time. In these lectures, he presents a lifetime of philosophical reflection on all three of these areas of research to which he has contributed for over half a century.

Nice book with horrible political ideas.
Reviewed: 01-24-25
The book is quite interesting when it discusses ontology, philosophy, and linguistics. I read the book for that. But then he goes on tangents talking about politics and economics — and it’s pretty obvious he’s an amateur in these fields and does not understand the very basics. Beside that, it was quite a good book and I enjoyed it.

Human Action is the most important book on political economy you will ever own. It was (and remains) the most comprehensive, systematic, forthright, and powerful defense of the economics of liberty ever written. This is the Scholar's Edition: accept no substitute. You will treasure this volume. The Scholar's Edition is the original, unaltered treatise (originally published in 1949) that shaped a generation of Austrians and made possible the intellectual movement that is leading the global charge for free markets.

This book helped me with a big relationship problem.
Reviewed: 05-28-24
I was struggling with a problem and wanted this book to help me understand what the error was: I made a mistake, and instead of properly apologizing like a man, I kept explaining my situation and asking her if our situation could be remedied. This was totally inappropriate of me, and completely selfish. I apologized, addressed her feelings, saw the issue from her point of view, and took responsibility. As if by magic, the problem completely resolved. Thank God for the blessings of Christ.

Story
The new single-volume edition of Conceived in Liberty is here! After so many years of having to juggle four volumes, the Mises Institute has finally put it all together in a single book. This makes it easier to listen to and makes clearer just what a contribution this book is to the history of libertarian literature. There's never been a better time to remember the revolutionary and even libertarian roots of the American founding, and there's no better guide to what this means in the narrative of the colonial period than Murray Rothbard.

Get this book if you’re very interested in American history. Otherwise, don’t. The book offers great economic commentary on American history.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

The book is lacklustre, filled with advice so general it’s useless. I listened to this book because I was on a long road, and it finished when I reached my destination. I did not enjoy it one bit.

Come with us to an Enchanted Place, a forest where Winnie-the-Pooh lived with Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga, and Little Roo. The stories are about Christopher Robin and these good companions having wonderful times getting in and out of trouble. It is all very exciting and, really, quite thrilling no matter how young or old you may be. It is painful to try and imagine what the world would be like without them.

Story
Duende, that dark and elusive force described by Federico Garcia Lorca, is the creative and ecstatic power an artist seeks to channel from within. It can lead the artist toward revelation, but it must also, Lorca says, accept and even serenade the possibility of death. Tracy K. Smith's bold second poetry collection explores history and the intersections of folk traditions, political resistance, and personal survival. Duende gives passionate testament to suppressed cultures, and allows them to sing.

The appearance of the famous (and massive) volumes of Rothbard's Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought in a new edition is cause for great celebration. Every paragraph bursts with intellectual energy and the author's fiery passion to tell the listener the remarkable story of economics. Many reviewers have remarked that Rothbard's accomplishment seems superhuman. He seems to have read everything. His originality is overwhelming. His passion for liberty and integrity in science is evident.

The most important history of economics for your education.
Reviewed: 01-24-24
Rothbard’s two volumes will be the most important histor of economics text for your education, spanning the era from Ancient Greece till the end of the 19th century. A truly and thoroughly rigorous and meticulous book by one of the greatest economists who ever lived. I can compare it only with Anthony Kenny’s or Bertrand Russell’s Histories of Western Philosophy.
