  • Review of George Reisman's Capitalism
    LIBERTARIAN PAPERS VOL. 1, ART. NO. 14 (2009) A TREATISE FOR A NEW AGE IN ECONOMIC THEORY: REVIEW OF GEORGE REISMAN’S CAPITALISM WLADIMIR KRAUS* CAPITALISM: A TREATISE ON ECONOMICS. By George Reisman. Ottawa, IL: Jameson Books, 1996. THE BOOK UNDER REVIEW, Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics,1 has been in print since 1996. Its enormous size and the vast array of topics covered suggest enormous scholarship and devotion. Its expressed purpose is a thorough integration of leading economic phenomena into one unified theory of the market process. Yet virtually no serious attention on the part of academic economists has been paid to its many highly original contributions and bold challenges to received orthodoxy. This review aims at a compressed presentation and analysis of some of the book’s main contributions to political economy, and hopes thereby to kick off a rigorous discussion of its substantive ideas. To put the extent of George Reisman’s intellectual achievement into a single sentence: for a full understanding of economic institutions of capitalism the reading and very careful studying of his Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics is absolutely essential. Nowhere will one find a clearer, more comprehensive, more rigorous, more persuasive and thus exactly for these reasons absolutely enthralling description and explanation of all leading economic institutions of capitalism. *Wladimir Kraus ([email protected]) is a PhD candidate in Institutions, Economics, and Law at IEL-International Programme in Institutions, Economics, and Law, Collegio Carlo Alberto, Italy.

I ignore the existence of fractional-reserve banking here. The creation of money through credit-card loans under fractional-reserve banking (to the extent that it occurs) is not particular to credit-card loans. It is true of all loans made through the fractional- reserve process and thus is not a phenomenon of credit-card loans but of fractional- reserve banking. Fractional-reserve banking is discussed below in this chapter and in Chapter 4 of Simpson, Money, Banking, and the Business Cycle, Volume 2. 6. See Steven J.

  • Environmentalism in the Light of Menger and Mises
    ARTICLES ENVIRONMENTALISM IN THE LIGHT OF MENGER AND MISES GEORGE REISMAN I he two essential claims of the environmentalists, which I take for granted are already well known, are (1) that continued economic progress is impossible because of the impending exhaustion of natu- Tral resources (it is from this notion that the slogan “reduce, reuse, recycle” comes), and (2) that continued economic progress, indeed, much of the eco- nomic progress that we have had up to now, is destructive of the environment and is therefore dangerous. The essential policy prescription of the environ- mentalists is the prohibition of self-interested individual action insofar as the byproduct of such action when performed on a mass basis is alleged damage to the environment. The leading concrete example of this policy prescription is the attempt now under way to force individuals to give up such things as their automobiles and air conditioners on the grounds that the byproduct of hundreds of millions or billions of people operating such devices is to cause global warming. And this same example, of course, is presently the leading example of the alleged dangers of economic progress. The basis of my critique of the essential claims of the environmentalists is Carl Menger’s theory of goods. The basis of my critique of their essential pol- icy prescription is the spirit of individualism that runs throughout the writ- ings of Ludwig von Mises. GEORGE REISMAN is professor of economics at Pepperdine University. He is the author of Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics (Ottawa, Ill.: Jameson Books, 1996) and is the trans- lator of Ludwig von Mises’s Epistemological Problems of Economics (New York: D.
