Hyperinflation and Hyperreality: Thomas Mann in Light of Austrian Economics
The Mystery of Banking, Murray N. Rothbard
Planned Chaos by Ludwig von Mises PDF download “History will call our age the age of the dictators and tyrants. We have witnessed in the last years the fall of two of these inflated supermen.

As long as this spirit prevails there cannot be any hope of durable peace, of democracy, of the preservation of freedom or of a steady improvement in the nation’s economic well-being.”

We owe it to them, to society at large, and to posterity to help students build their expectations on a realistic basis. Exponential growth needs to be seen as a severely time-limited process, for which costs must be paid. Growth is ultimately limited by the environment, a truth that ecologists encapsulate in the concept of ‘carrying capacity’.”
