  • Ludwig Von Mises: Scholar, Creator, Hero
    Murray N. Rothbard Ludwig von Mises: Scholar, Creator, Hero Introduction The purpose of this essay is to discuss and celebrate the life and work of one of the great creative minds of our century. Ludwig von Mises was born on September 29, 1881, in the city of Lemberg (now Lvov), in Galicia, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His father, Arthur Edler von Mises, a Viennese construction engineer working for the Austrian railroads, was stationed in Lemberg at the time. Ludwig’s mother, Adele Landau, also came from a prominent family in Vienna: her uncle, Dr. Joachim Landau, was a deputy from the Liberal Party in the Austrian Parliament. The Young Scholar Though the pre-eminent theorist of our time, Mises’s interest, as a teenager, centered in history, particularly economic and administrative history. But even while still in high school, he reacted against the relativism and historicism rampant in the German-speaking countries, dominated by the Historical School. In his early historical work, he was frustrated to find historical studies virtually consisting of paraphrases from official government reports. Instead, he yearned to write genuine economic history. He early disliked the State orientation of historical studies. Thus, in his memoirs, Mises writes: “It was my intense interest in historical knowledge that enabled me to perceive readily the inadequacy of German historicism. It did not deal with scientific problems, but with the glorification and justification of Prussian policies and Prussian authoritarian government. The German universities were state institutions and the instructors were civil servants. The professors were aware of this civil-service status, that is, they saw themselves as servants of the Prussian king”.[1] Ludwig von Mises entered the University of Vienna at the turn of the twentieth century and his major professor was the economic historian Karl Grünberg, a member of the German Historical School and a statist who was interested in labor history, agricultural history, and Marxism.

  • Notes on Anarchism
    $1.00 NOTES ON ANARCHISM by Noam Chomsky NOTES ON ANARCHISM by Noam Chomsky First Printing -- 50 copies -- November 1994 Second Printing - - 300 copies -- January 1995 Third Printing -- 300 copies -- August 1995 Published by DISCUSSION BULLETIN P.O. Box1564 , Grand Rapids, MI49501 INTRODUCTION "Notes on Anarchism" is taken directly from For Reasons of State, a collection o f Noam Chomsky’s essays, published by Random House in 1973. According to Chomsky, it is "...adapted from the introduction to Daniel Guerin’s Anarchism published by Monthly Review Press." With the author’s permission, it was reprinted as the lead article in the June-July 1994 issue of the Discussion Bulletin (number 65). In our letter seeking his permission, we asked Chomsky if his views on anarchism had changed in the twenty years since he wrote it. He answered, "My thinking on these matters hasn’t changed in any essential respect. In fact, it seems to me that there are new prospects for anarchism now that the Soviet tyranny has collapsed and with it a major barrier to socialism, particularly the libertarian forms." The essay speaks for itself of course, but certainly its almost interchangeable use of the terms "anarchism" and "libertarian socialism" is in keeping with the politically ecumenical spirit of the Discussion Bulletin. So too is Chomsky's evenhanded use o f quotations from Bakunin, Marx, Rudolph Rocker, Paul Mattick, Anton Pannekoek, and even the (in1917 ) British DeLeonist and Socialist Labour Party member, William Paul. One more thing, although Chomsky authorized us to publish the essay in the Discussion Bulletin, our impromptu printing of fifty copies full size in pamphlet format -- we had reduced the size o f the typeface for the DB version -- was done without his O.K.

De Utopische Verleiding: plaag van deze eeuw Ongelode benzine: de Feiten 1998/2 van de Redactie LIJFSBEHOUD De overheid biedt u 'de kans van uw leven'. U kunt nu laten regi- streren dat u uw kostbaarste bezit wilt weggeven. ledere Nederlan- der van 18 jaar en ouder heeft hiervoor een formulier thuisgestuurd gekregen: wordt orgaandonor en geeft gul! Maar de verkoop van organen blijft verboden. In Nederland heerst de consensus dat geld verdienen aan een nier of lever onethisch is. Bij leven mag u slechts beslissen of u al dan niet delen van uw li- chaam, na uw dood, gratis wilt afstaan aan anderen. Meer mag niet; het recht te beschikken over eigen lijf en leden eindigt bij overlij- den. In jeugdige overmoed besloten een vriend en ik eens dat wij beiden eetbaar waren. Christus had ons het goede voorbeeld gegeven met zijn 'neemt en eet dit lichaam'. En in Robert Heinleins voortreffelij- ke science-fiction roman Stranger In A Strange Land genoten de vrienden van hoofdpersoon Valentine Michael Smith smakelijk na van zijn dood. Er moest wel een snufje zout bij. Kannibalisme leek ons pas misdadig als iemand tegen zijn zin werd opgegeten. Op uit een schoolschrift gescheurde blaadjes schreven we dat ieders li- chaam, na overlijden, eigendom werd van de langstlevende. Voor hem om naar goeddunken over te beschikken. Orgaandonatie stond toen nog niet zo in de belangstelling en we waren jong. Anders hadden we ongetwijfeld bedacht dat de langstlevende het lichaam van de ander ook te gelde zou kunnen maken.

  • IWW Records, Part 3 1 Linear Foot (2 MB) 1930-1996, Bulk 1993-1996
    Part 1 Industrial Workers of the World Collection Papers, 1905-1972 92.3 linear feet Accession No. 130 L.C. Number MS 66-1519 The papers of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in February of 1965, by the Industrial Workers of the World. Other deposits have been made subsequently. Over the turn of the century, the cause of labor and unionism had sustained some hard blows. High immigration, insecurity of employment and frequent economic recessions added to the problems of any believer in unionism. In January, 1905 a group of people from different areas of the country came to Chicago for a conference. Their interest was the cause of labor (viewed through a variety of political glasses) and their hope was somehow to get together, to start a successful drive for industrial unionism rather than craft unionism. A manifesto was formulated and a convention called for June, 1905 for discussion and action on industrial unionism and better working class solidarity. At that convention, the Industrial Workers of the World was organized. The more politically-minded members dropped out after a few years, as the IWW in general wished to take no political line at all, but instead to work through industrial union organization against the capitalist system. The main beliefs of this group are epitomized in the preamble to the IWW constitution, which emphasizes that the workers and their employers have "nothing in common." They were not anarchists, but rather believed in a minimal industrial government over an industrially organized society.
