《奥地利学派经济学在美国:一个传统的迁入》考察了新奥地利学派从19世纪70年代的维也纳直至现在的学术思想发展。现代奥地利学派对许多问题持有严密而非正统的观点，如主观主义、企业家的职能、市场过程以及在经济学中数学的运用等。沃恩教授对这些观点追根溯源，揭示了它们是如何围绕人类事务中的时间与无知问题构成了理论体系。她还说明了卡尔·门格尔如何描述市场过程并将经济增长与社会中知识的产生与传播联系起来。早在20世纪30年代，米塞斯和哈耶克等学者就认识到中央经济计划过程的致命缺陷是有限的知识和滞后的时间。

改革开放30年来，中国经历了一场剧烈变迁的过程，不仅是经济的长期而高速增长，法律、政治制度等也发生了显著而深刻的变化。对于这些变迁，具有丰富理论资源，尤其是关于人、行动、规则、制度等深刻洞见的奥地利学派，完全有能力提供有效的解释。事实上，甚至可以说，奥地利学派对于解释这样的变化，具有特别的优势。因为借助丰富的制度比较研究，奥地利学派对于市场、法治、自治、宪政等制度机理有着更为深入的理解。
本书涉及制度转型的一般理论、经济制度变迁、法律与社会制度变迁等主题，代表了中国的奥地利学派研究者试图解释中国30年转型经验的一次尝试。
本书为中国的奥地利学派学者，就中国正在发生的变化、变迁，尤其是关于人、行动、规则、制度等提出有效的解释。这里所收录的论文涵盖了经济学、法学、政治学乃至历史学领域。全部论文分为三大部分，第一部分的作者利用奥地利学派理论及相关理论对中国过去三十年所发生的制度变迁进行了一般性讨论；第二部分论文集中于经济增长与经济制度变迁；第三部分论文关注的是法律、政治、意识形态的变迁。

市场经济是人类最伟大的创造，是人类进步最好的游戏规则！
什么是市场？市场就是好坏由别人说了算、不由你自己说了算的制度。
市场的基本逻辑是：如果一个人想得到幸福，他（或她）必须首先必须使别人幸福。市场的这一逻辑把个人对财富和幸福的追求转化为创造社会财富和推动社会进步的动力。
本书收录了作者16篇重量级文章，分为解读市场经济、思考改革过程、理解金融危机、把脉未来发展四个篇章，能使读者更好地理解市场经济，坚定对中国市场化改革的信心。

摘录
★现在好多人都在“卖拐”。这个拐是什么？就是政府对市场的任意干预，就是大量反市场经济的言论。大量所谓市场经济的矛盾，都是被卖拐的人卖出来的。
★ 金融危机是政府政策的失误所致，解决危机最好的办法是让市场自发调节。
★ 人为限制房价、物价，最后只能让少数有特权的人得到好处。
★ 修建经济适用房不能解决普通人的住房问题。
★ 帮助低收入者的最好办法是直接给他们货币补贴。
★ 国有制与市场经济不相容，中国经济已踏上了非国有化的不归路。
★ 官员是改革中相对受损最大的利益集团。
★ 寡头竞争对社会有利。
★ 推动经济增长的是生产，是供给，而不是需求；是供给创造需求，而不是需求创造供给。如果刺激需求就可以发展经济，我们早就进入共产主义社会了！
★ 我们国家，现在有太多的财富集中在政府手里，而不是国民手里。我想，可以利用这次危机推动国家财富向国民财富转移。首先，要考虑实行减税；其次，应将国有企业股票一部分分给老百姓。

This book, first published in 1973, takes up an important approach to capital which had gone out of fashion. It is being reissued in paperback in recognition of the recent renewed interest in this approach. The 'Austrian' theory of capital concentrates on the inputs and outputs in the productive process, and has an advantage over more modern theories of economic dynamics in that it is more naturally expressible in economic terms: the production process over time is taken as a whole, rather than disintegrated. However, this approach had been largely abandoned because it seemed to be unable to deal with fixed capital. Sir John overcomes this problem here by allowing for a sequence of outputs, and the consequences for dynamic economics are profound and novel.

本书包括三个部分，第一部分讲述了奥地利学派的背景，包括奥地利学派及其对手：历史主义者、社会主义者和实证主义者；第二部分讲述哈耶克的人生旅程；第三部分讲述哈耶克的挑战，分两章，首先评价了哈耶克的旅程，同时试图对他的遗产做出评估，然后以一个经济思想史学者的身份看待哈耶克对经济学家采用的研究方法所持的批判态度，并严肃的看待这些批判，并且透过他们去反思思想经济学在刚刚过去的那个世纪的发展。
弗里德利希·冯·哈耶克(Friedr：ichAugust yon Hayek，1899～1992)是20世纪最伟大的自由主义思想家之一。他毕生发表了130篇文章和25本专著，学术范围涵盖经济学、政治学、哲学、人类学、法学、心理学、知识论和伦理学诸方面，而且在每一个领域都产生了巨大的影响。哈耶克于1974年获得了诺贝尔经济学奖，但他的学术贡献却远远超出了经济学的范围。本书旨在勾勒哈耶克平实却又绚烂的生涯，阐释其博大深邃的经济、政治、法律思想，让读者在掩卷之后能对这位被称为“20世纪的先知”的伟大哲人有一个概括的了解。

著名经济学家张维迎教授撰序推荐：
“当我们正在经历着二战以来最为严重的世界性经济危机的时候，我建议所有经济学家、政府官员和媒体人士，甚至普通大众，都读一读罗斯巴德的《美国大萧条》，因为它有助于我们反思这次危机的真正原因，思考政府采取的政策是否恰当，也有助于未来不再犯同样的错误。”
解读20世纪初美国经济灾难的前因后果
探究经济世界繁荣与衰退交相罔替的来龙去脉
《美国大萧条》是奥地利经济学派的重要著作。作者根据米塞斯关于商业周期的理论，细致而全面地分析了美国20世纪20至30年代的经济状况，对那场发生在上世纪初的经济危机进行了深入的探讨。巴斯罗德认为那场大萧条不是因为政府实行了“自由放任主义”的政策引起的，而恰恰相反正是政府过多地干预经济使然；对于金融领域，巴斯罗德采取了反中央银行的立场，批评了中央银行违背金本位原则，而对金融货币领域加以干预的做法，认为这样对长期的经济发展是非常不利的。
20世纪二三十年代，一场美国大萧条震动了世界。
是“自由放任”之罪？抑或是“过度干预”之弊？
怎样的人为动机使得经济数据发生了变化？
历史轮回之际，
商业周期理论是否依然有效？
8000亿救市美元何时生效？
政府之手与市场之手应当扮演何种角色？
而我们，又当如何面对当下的危机？

《货币、方法与市场过程》是米塞斯逝世后由他的夫人编辑的一本书，收录了米塞斯的多篇重要论文，其权威性和学术价值得到了国际经济学界的公认。
本书概括地反应了米塞斯最重要的思想观念，是了解米塞斯思想的最好门径，系首次译为中文。
本书被www.intellectualconservative.com网站列为最重要的25本保守主义哲学与观念著作之一。

《创新的先知:约瑟夫·熊彼得传》的目的在于重温熊彼特的生活和工作，以便我们更好地认识和评价熊彼特这个人及其影响。尽管熊彼特本人对数字十分感兴趣，但《创新的先知:约瑟夫·熊彼得传》不会是一部涉及极多统计数据的作品。不过，在我们认识熊彼特之前，先让我们用一种他很喜欢的快速统计预览法来简单考察一下他的研究对象——资本主义。当今普通美国人的现金收入是1800年时的二十多倍。如果你是美国人，试着想象一下你只花你收入的二十分之一来生活，由此所造成的生活方式的改变很可能让你不得不去种植自己生活所需的粮食，就像你的大多数先祖在1800年所做的那样。

金融危机之后，为避免实体经济陷入低迷，世界各国（包括中国）都采取了一系列刺激政策来恢复经济和信心。这些政策当中就包括以或明或暗的方式增加货币供应量。这样做可谓立竿见影，但可能随之而来的通货膨胀却不能不让人担忧，一旦猛虎出笼，为害更甚。那么通货膨胀的危害在哪里，根源又在何处呢？对此，本书给出了一个大胆然而彻底的解决方案。一般人们都关心货币取得和使用的伦理问题（所谓“君子爱财，取之有道”），也关心货币供应量是过多还是过少，但少有人会对国家发行货币、规定法定货币的行为本身产生怀疑，即货币生产的伦理问题。作者从奥地利学派主张私有产权和市场机制的基本观点出发，对国家垄断货币生产的伦理正当性提出质疑，指出法定货币才导致了法定或授权的通货膨胀（fiat inflation）,这进而导致一系列在社会、文化乃至精神方面的严重后果。作者呼吁变革现有的货币体制，认为解决之道并不是要废弃纸币，而是要废除国家在货币生产上的一系列特权，允许公民自由选取货币。

An extraordinary philosopher and writer, Gordon explores the philosophical milieu that led to the marginal revolution and the development of the Austrian School. He contrasts this with the positivism and historicism of the dominant part of the profession. Recommended by Barry Smith as a useful and clearly written study of the philosophical origins of Menger's theorizing in economics.
This text is divided into a primary essay which addresses the subject matter indicated by the title, and an extensive bibliographical essay which is sure to inspire and assist further inquiry. This short work is set in a large, easy to read typeface that makes it a particularly good selection for those whose eyesight that may not be what it once was.

本书是奥地利学派经济学的入门介绍。自2000年出版以来，已被翻译成意大利语、葡萄牙语、德语、俄语、法语和英语等多种语言。 作者首先介绍奥地利学派经济学的基本原则及其与新古典经济学的显著区别，其中特别指出奥地利学派当中至关重要的概念：知识与企业家才能。作者接着介绍奥地利学派的历史发展及其代表人物，其中包括门格尔、庞巴维克、米塞斯以及哈耶克。最后作者对一些针对奥地利学派经济学的批评作出回应，并对奥地利学派的复兴及其对经济学未来发展可能作出的贡献进行展望。
通过阅读本书，读者将对奥地利学派经济学的思想和脉络有一个全面的了解，从而可以准备好更为深入地探索这一新颖而富有吸引力的领域。

本书首先综述了国内外相关的研究米塞斯的资料，梳理了奥地利学派经济思想的演进历程，归纳了米塞斯在奥地利学派发展过程中的思想贡献。在此基础上，作者从米塞斯关于方法论著作的文本出发，深入讨论了米塞斯及奥地利学派的经济学方法论、货币理论与经济计算、商业周期理论、企业家与市场过程理论等，较为清晰地向我们展示了米塞斯作为经济学巨人的思想流变过程，揭示了这一支非主流的经济学派（米塞斯及奥地利学派）的经济学思想世界

Murray N. Rothbard's great treatise Man, Economy, and State and its complementary text Power and Market provides a sweeping presentation of Austrian economic theory, a reconstruction of many aspects of that theory, a rigorous criticism of alternative schools, and an inspiring look at a science of liberty that concerns nearly everything and should concern everyone.
The Mises Institute's new edition of Man Economy, and State, united for the first time with its formerly sundered companion volume Power and Market, is a landmark in the history of the Institute. It takes this book out of the category of underground classic and raises it up to its proper status as one of the great economic treatises of all time, a book that is essential for anyone seeking a robust economic education. The revealing new introduction by Joseph Stromberg uses material from the Rothbard Archives, including his personal notes during the research and writing phases, to reconstruct the intellectual setting in which the book was written, and its initial and widening impact.
For years, the Mises Institute has kept it in print and sold thousands of copies in a nice paperback version. Now in our twentieth year, we decided to take a big step and put out an edition worthy of this great treatise. It is the Scholar's Edition of Man, Economy, and State—-an edition that will immediately become definitive and used throughout the world. The footnotes (which are so brilliant and informative!) are at the bottom of every page. The index is huge and comprehensive. The binding is impeccable and its beauty unmatched.
Students have used this book for decades as the intellectual foil for what they have been required to learning from conventional economics classes. In many ways, it has built the Austrian school in the generation that followed Mises. It was Rothbard who polished the Austrian contribution to theory and wove it together with a full-scale philosophy of political ethics that inspired the generation of the Austrian revival, and continues to fuel its growth and development today.
From Rothbard, we learn that economics is the science that deals with the rise and fall of civilization, the advancement and retrenchment of human development, the feeding and healing of the multitudes, and the question of whether human affairs are dominated by cooperation or violence.
Economics in Rothbard's wonderful book emerges as the beautiful logic of that underlies human action in a world of scarcity, the lens on how exchange makes it possible for people to cooperate toward their mutual betterment. We see how money facilitates this, and allows for calculation over time that permits capital to expand and investment to take place. We see how entrepreneurship, based on real judgments and risk taking, is the driving force of the market.
What's striking is how this remarkable book has lived in the shadows for so long. It began as a guide to Human Action, and it swelled into a treatise in its own right. Rothbard worked many years on the book, even as he was completing his PhD at Columbia University. He realized better than anyone else that Mises's economic theories were so important that they needed restatement and interpretation. But he also knew that Misesian theory needed elaboration, expansion, and application in a variety of areas. The result was much more: a rigorous but accessible defense of the whole theory of the market economy, from its very foundations.

大多数美国人认为，美联储是一个不可或缺的机构，但美国共和党众议员罗恩•保罗却给出了相反的结论。在本书中，保罗与两任美联储主席格林斯潘和伯南克之间展开了针锋相对的对话，他以自己的亲身经历揭示了美国金融界与政界之间千丝万缕的联系，对近50年的世界经济局势和美国经济政策给予了详细的分析，并发出最强烈的呼吁：必须终结美联储。

Here is a publishing event: the new Mises Institute edition of the classic book that has taught many millions sound economic thinking. It is a hardbound volume, priced very low thanks to special benefactors, and now available in quantity discounts for distribution to your friends, family, and anyone you meet who needs to understand what economics implies for the society, government, and civilization.
Henry Hazlitt wrote this book following his stint at the New York Times as an editorialist. His hope was to reduce the whole teaching of economics to a few principles and explain them in ways that people would never forget. It worked. He relied on some stories by Bastiat and his own impeccable capacity for logical thinking and crystal-clear prose.
He was writing under the influence of Mises himself, of course, but he brought his own special gifts to the project. As just one example, this is the book that made the idea of the "broken window fallacy" so famous.
What thrills us in particular about this new edition is that it is beautiful, it is hardcover, and it is newly typeset for modern readers. It has a full index. It includes a wonderful foreword by Walter Block. It's the right size, shape, and feel – perfect for making this book central to all educational efforts of the future.
This is the book to send to reporters, politicians, pastors, political activists, teachers, or anyone else who needs to know.
Professor Block explains that it was this book that turned him on to economics as a science. He believes that it is probably the most important economics book ever written in the sense that it offers the greatest hope to educating everyone about the meaning of the science.
Written for the non-academic, it has served as the major antidote to fallacies in the popular press, and has appeared in dozens of languages and printings. It's still the quickest way to learn how to think like an economist. And this is why it has been used in the best classrooms more than sixty years.
Many writers have since attempted to beat this book as an introduction, but have never succeeded. Hazlitt's book remains the best. Even if you own this book already, or have several past editions, you will want to have this book as your own as a wonderful testament to its place in the world of ideas.
In putting this edition together, we chose to work from Hazlitt's own first edition because it contains the core of what is crucial here without later updates that only date the book. As with Mises and Human Action, the author's first instincts were the best ones.

从计划经济走向市场经济的中国，正面临一个重大的方向性问题：是继续坚定地走向市场经济，还是选择一些“折中”方案？作者坚持认为，中国应该，也必须坚定地走向市场经济。本书讲述的历史和现实案例表明，自由市场体制完全有能力解决其自身产生的缺陷。市场的力量正在于此。人们不必因为市场某些暂时的缺陷而选择接受“折中”方案。那些“折中”方案无一例外地比自由市场体制更差，不仅效率更低，而且更不利于个人和社会的道德成长。

This pioneering work, in hardback, by Jörg Guido Hülsmann, professor of economics at the University of Angers in France and the author of Mises: The Last knight of Liberalism, is the first full study of a critically important issue today: the ethics of money production.
He is speaking not in the colloquial sense of the phrase "making money," but rather the actual production of money as a commodity in the whole economic life. The choice of the money we use in exchange is not something that needs to be established and fixed by government.
In fact, his thesis is that a government monopoly on money production and management has no ethical or economic grounding at all. Legal tender laws, bailout guarantees, tax-backed deposit insurance, and the entire apparatus that sustains national monetary systems, has been wholly unjustified. Money, he argues, should be a privately produced good like any other, such as clothing or food.
In arguing this way, he is disputing centuries of assumptions about money for which an argument is rarely offered. People just assume that government or central banks operating under government control should manage money. Hulsmann explores monetary thought from the ancient world through the middle ages to modern times to show that the monopolists are wrong. There is a strong case in both economic and ethical terms for the idea that money production should be wholly private.
He takes on the "stabilization" advocates to show that government management doesn't lead to stability but to inflation and instability. He goes further to argue against even the theoretical case for stabilization, to say that money's value should be governed by the market, and that that the costs associated with private production are actually an advantage. He chronicles the decline of money once nationalized, from legally sanctioned counterfeiting to the creation of paper money all the way to hyperinflation. In his normative analysis, the author depends heavily on the monetary writings of 14th century Bishop Nicole Oresme, whose monetary writings have been overlooked even by historians of economic thought. He makes a strong case that "paper money has never been introduced through voluntary cooperation. In all known cases it has been introduced through coercion and compulsion, sometimes with the threat of the death penalty. … Paper money by its very nature involves the violation of property rights through monopoly and legal-tender privileges."
The book is also eerily prophetic of our times:
Consider the current U.S. real-estate boom. Many Americans are utterly convinced that American real estate is the one sure bet in economic life. No matter what happens on the stock market or in other strata of the economy, real estate will rise. They believe themselves to have found a bonanza, and the historical figures confirm this. Of course this belief is an illusion, but the characteristic feature of a boom is precisely that people throw any critical considerations overboard. They do not realize that their money producer—the Fed—has possibly already entered the early stages of hyperinflation, and that the only reason why this has been largely invisible was that most of the new money has been exported outside of the U.S… Because a paper-money producer can bail out virtually anybody, the citizens become reckless in their speculations; they count on him to bail them out, especially when many other people do the same thing. To fight such behavior effectively, one must abolish paper money. Regulations merely drive the reckless behavior into new channels.
Hulsmann has provided not only a primer in understanding our times, but a dramatic extension of the work of Menger, Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, and others to map out an economically radical and ethically challenging case for the complete separation of money and state, and a case for the privatization of money production. It is a sweeping and learned treatise that is rigorous, scholarly, and radical.
