DECEMBER 01, 2008 by MIKE VAN WINKLE, LUDWIG MISES

Mises’s last book summarizes the contributions of a life-time. He explains the nature of human action, the dangers of handing over society to the social engineers, the superiority of the market economy, and the importance of understanding history if the totalitarian tragedy of the past is not to be repeated.

From natural systems to human systems, we start to notice patterns in nature that are products of good flow. Adrian Bejan discusses this crucial insight--and how it makes freedom even more needful--in this month's interview. Zachary Caceres looks at what emergence can tell us about the universe, the market, the heart, and the sacred; Mike Reid recounts the tragedies produced when the State tries to impose its order on people who have already developed their own; Gary Galles channels Leonard Read: the State is a clenched fist, he says, so it cannot create; Brad Taylor says democracy might just be another imposed order in some situations; Karl Borden wonders whether an individual's right to be left alone can be part of the order of things; and much, much more.Download Free PDF
