In questo modo, attraverso alcune sue particolarità, il lavoro compiuto su «StoriaLibera» si è meglio fatto conoscere ai nostri lettori. Dopo aver già mostrato non pochi elementi caratteristici (la scelta del nome e il background, il sito web, la periodicità semestrale, la “scientificità”, il ruolo dei membri del Comitato Scientifico, la modalità on line, la redazione, la pagina Facebook), soffermiamoci ora sul modo con cui ogni fascicolo viene ordinariamente suddiviso. Ad esclusione del primo numero che occorreva sottoporre ad un ufficio del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) allo scopo di vedersi attribuito il codice ISSN (International Standard Serial Number), una felice intuizione — divenuta nostra confermata prassi — ha subito previsto la ripartizione in sezioni dei vari interventi presenti in ciascun fascicolo semestrale. Ogni numero della rivista, infatti, si presenta — anche graficamente — articolato in più sezioni, ciascuna con una propria definizione ed un proprio profilo (cfr. art. 12 del nostro Regolamento http://www.storialibera.it/il_regolamento.php). La sezione iniziale è quella titolata “Articoli e Saggi” perché contiene i contributi più originali che, in base a questa peculiarità, sono soggetti alla procedura della valutazione scientifica dei testi (cfr. art. 11 del Regolamento http://www.storialibera.it/il_regolamento.php). Segue la sezione “Note e Interventi” che ospita alcuni testi che si presentano con un taglio meno impegnativo (ma non certo meno 7 StoriaLibera anno VII (2021), n. 13 qualificato) rispetto a quelli contenuti nella sezione precedente. Infatti, rispetto a questi ultimi, i contributi della sezione “Note e Interventi” sono spesso frutto di conferenze (a volte anche senza impianto di note) o ampliamenti e perfezionamenti di articoli precedentemente altrove pubblicati. Nella sezione “Documenti e Testimonianze”, invece, appaiono testi di antologia del passato difficilmente rintracciabili o traduzioni di articoli meritevoli di essere proposti ai lettori italiani. Si tratta sempre di scritti che non potrebbero essere citati secondo le norme redazionali in tesi e libri perché manchevoli di riferimenti metodologici; pubblicandoli in una rivista, possono, invece, essere adeguatamente utilizzati e richiamati in altri lavori. Questi pezzi di antologia sono sempre curati da uno studioso a cui è stata affidata l’introduzione (e spesso la traduzione). L’ultima sezione quasi sempre presente in ogni fascicolo è quella denominata “Recensioni e Segnalazioni”. È uno spazio — spesso ampio — di approfondimento bibliofilo: in coda ai numeri della rivista si presentano e si commentano volumi di varia estrazione. Sono ormai numerose le recensioni (che hanno un taglio valutativo) e le segnalazioni (che si limitano alla descrizione) collezionate in questi primi anni di lavoro. Questo schema in quattro sezioni non ha escluso adattamenti e variazioni. Così, ad esempio, è avvenuto quando si è dato spazio ai dibattiti in un’area aperta all’occorrenza e definita “Forum e Discussioni”. Così è avvenuto nel numero 7 e nel numero 12. Come si diceva già, sin da subito questa articolazione dei fascicoli semestrali è apparsa utile a presentare meglio il contenuto di ciascun numero della rivista nella speranza

  • Removing Obstacles on the Path to Economic Freedom1
    Removing Obstacles on the Path to Economic Freedom1 John B. Taylor Mont Pelerin Society Fort Worth, Texas May 22, 2019 My remarks on removing obstacles on the path to economic freedom touch on themes raised at Mont Pelerin Society meetings for many years. But here I emphasize that the obstacles often change their form over time and pop up in surprising ways. I see two basic kinds of obstacles. First are obstacles based on claims that the principle ideas of economic freedom are wrong or do not work. The principle ideas of economic freedom include the rule of law, predictable policies, reliance on markets, attention to incentives, and limitations on government.2 This first kind of obstacle largely promotes the opposite of these principles, arguing that the rule of law should be replaced by arbitrary government actions, that policy predictability is no virtue, that market prices can be replaced by central decrees, that incentives matter little, and that government does not need to be restrained. Many were making such claims at the time that the Mont Pelerin Society was founded in 1947. Communist governments were taking hold. Socialism was creeping up everywhere. “The common objective of those who met at Mont Pelerin was undoubtedly to halt and reverse current political, social, and economic trends toward socialism,” as R. M. Hartwell described the first meeting in his history of the Mont Pelerin Society.3 Despite many successes, these claims have returned today in renewed calls for socialism and criticism of free market capitalism as a way to improved standards of living.

  • The Mont Pelerin Society
    A SPECIAL MEETING THE MONT PELERIN SOCIETY JANUARY 15–17, 2020 FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE: IDEAS AND ACTIONS FOR A FREE SOCIETY CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR MAKING THE CASE FOR LIBERTY RUSSELL ROBERTS HOOVER INSTITUTION • STANFORD UNIVERSITY 1 1 MAKING THE CASE FOR LIBERTY Prepared for the January 2020 Mont Pelerin Society Meeting Hoover Institution, Stanford University Russ Roberts John and Jean De Nault Research Fellow Hoover Institution Stanford University [email protected] 1 2 According to many economists and pundits, we are living under the dominion of Milton Friedman’s free market, neoliberal worldview. Such is the claim of the recent book, The Economists’ Hour by Binyamin Applebaum. He blames the policy prescriptions of free- market economists for slower growth, inequality, and declining life expectancy. The most important figure in this seemingly disastrous intellectual revolution? “Milton Friedman, an elfin libertarian…Friedman offered an appealingly simple answer for the nation’s problems: Government should get out of the way.” A similar judgment is delivered in a recent article in the Boston Review by Suresh Naidu, Dani Rodrik, and Gabriel Zucman: Leading economists such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman were among the founders of the Mont Pelerin Society, the influential group of intellectuals whose advocacy of markets and hostility to government intervention proved highly effective in reshaping the policy landscape after 1980. Deregulation, financialization, dismantling of the welfare state, deinstitutionalization of labor markets, reduction in corporate and progressive taxation, and the pursuit of hyper-globalization—the culprits behind rising inequalities—all seem to be rooted in conventional economic doctrines.

  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.

  • The Mont Pelerin Society: a MANDATE RENEWED
    1 The Mont Pelerin Society: A MANDATE RENEWED By Deepak Lal Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to this special meeting of the MPS. In this address I would like to explain why it has been called at such short notice and how I hope it provides a renewal of the mandate our founders set for the society.1 After being anointed with the Presidency of this august body in Tokyo (in early September), my wife and I went on to a lecture tour in China. We were in Shanghai on a tour of the magnificent Suzhou industrial estate outside Shanghai, with MPS member Steven Cheung. On the afternoon of the 15th September Steve received a call on his Blackberry that Lehman Brothers had gone into bankruptcy. Steve opined that this marked the end of American capitalism. I thought this somewhat hyperbolic. But, on getting back to London at the end of September, as I was tending my roses, my neighbor, a Thatcherite heart surgeon, said over the hedge that, given the recent events in the capital markets, did I still stand by the views I had expressed in my last book on "Reviving the Invisible Hand".2 I replied that even a severe trade cycle downturn would not undermine the well tested classical liberal principles I had espoused. Though, Gordon Brown might be in trouble having repeatedly congratulated himself for having abolished boom and bust. Two subsequent events shattered this complacency. I had been following a political betting site called Betfair on which some youngsters at the Tokyo MPS meeting were placing bets on a McCain victory.

    James M. Buchanan Jr. [Ideological Profiles of the Economics Laureates] Niclas Berggren Econ Journal Watch 10(3), September 2013: 292-299 Abstract James M. Buchanan Jr. is among the 71 individuals who were awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel between 1969 and 2012. This ideological profile is part of the project called “The Ideological Migration of the Economics Laureates,” which fills the September 2013 issue of Econ Journal Watch. Keywords Classical liberalism, economists, Nobel Prize in economics, ideology, ideological migration, intellectual biography. JEL classification A11, A13, B2, B3 Link to this document http://econjwatch.org/file_download/718/BuchananIPEL.pdf ECON JOURNAL WATCH James M. Buchanan Jr. by Niclas Berggren6 James M. Buchanan (1919–2013) was born in rural Tennessee under rather simple circumstances: “It was a very poor life,” he says (Buchanan 2009, 91). Still, he ended up, in 1986, as a recipient of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. The Prize was awarded “for his development of the contractual and constitutional bases for the theory of economic and political decision-making.” Buchanan earned his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago in 1948 and was thereafter a professor at the University of Tennessee, Florida State University, the University of Virginia, UCLA, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and George Mason University. In spite of his academic accomplishments, Buchanan felt himself to be apart from an established elite—academic, intellectual or political—and he even regarded that elite with suspicion. The attitude can be connected to Buchanan’s ideological convictions and how these changed over the course of his lifetime.

  • Matt Mackenzie DRAFT 12/06 Exploitation: a Dialectical Anarchist
    Matt MacKenzie DRAFT 12/06 Exploitation: A Dialectical Anarchist Perspective In his 1985 paper, “Should Marxists Be Interested in Exploitation?,” John Roemer1 suggests that contemporary Marxists should be less interested in exploitation than has been the case historically. Taking my cue from Roemer, in this paper I shall ask: should libertarians be interested in exploitation? It seems to me that, as a matter of fact, many contemporary libertarians are either relatively uninterested in or suspicious of the concept of exploitation—though the same is not true of 19th and early 20th century libertarians. Of course, it will readily be admitted that the state exploits its citizens, but this will be understood primarily in terms of the apparently more basic concepts of coercion, oppression, and theft. Thus, it might be said, the claim of exploitation adds nothing substantive to the libertarian critique of the state. In addition, it could be argued, there are reasons to be suspicious of claims of exploitation. For, in broader public discourse, the term too often seems to be a stand-in for mere disapproval. And when the term is given more definite content, it often involves assumptions about politics and economics that are unacceptable from a libertarian point of view. Despite these considerations, I will answer the question in the affirmative—libertarians should be interested in exploitation. Furthermore, I will argue that an appropriately comprehensive libertarianism should recognize, 1) that there are both coercive and non-coercive forms of exploitation, 2) that state capitalist societies are pervasively exploitative, and 3) that exploitation deserves an appropriately, though not exclusively, political response.
