Something Austrians, Socialists, and I Can Apparently Agree On

"It will be evident, even in the socialist society, that 1,000 hectolitres of wine are better than 800"

- Ludwig von Mises, Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth

True, it's only monotonic preferences. But that's still something. Plus it's wine.

  2. As I understand, Daniel has copies of Human Action and other books of von Mises with him.

  3. I actually can't claim to own a single book of Mises's - but thanks to the Ludwig von Mises Institute I don't have to.

  4. I would think that one day you would just get tired of me referring Human Action to you day in and day out and just read the darned thing.
