ECONOMICS

Our economics collection showcases classic works in the discipline. Many of our titles explore how economic reasoning applies to political science and other social sciences, as well as the relevance of economics as moral philosophy. Some of the highlights of our collection include works by Nobel laureate James M. Buchanan, as well as classic texts from Frédéric Bastiat, F. A. Hayek, , Israel M. Kirzner, , and Gordon Tullock. A consistent theme is the view that economics is the study of human choice and its consequences, both intended and unintended.

The Fable of the Bees The Pursuit of Certainty Or Private Vices, Publick Benefits David Hume, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, By Bernard Mandeville Beatrice Webb With a Commentary by F. B. Kaye By Shirley Robin Letwin It used to be that everyone read the “notorious” Bernard By examining the thought of four seminal thinkers, Shirley Mandeville (1670–1733). He was a great satirist and came Robin Letwin in The Pursuit of Certainty provides a brilliant to have a profound impact on economics, ethics, and social record of the gradual change in the English-speaking peoples’ philosophy. understanding of “what sort of activity politics is.” As Letwin begins with a poem and continues writes, “the distinctive political issue since the eighteenth with a number of essays and dialogues. It is all tied together by century has been whether government should do more or less.” the startling and original idea that “private vices” (self-interest) Nor, as many historians argue, did this issue arise because lead to “publick benefits” (the development and operation of of the Industrial Revolution or “new social conditions [that] society). aggravated the problem of poverty” but, Letwin believes, because of the “profoundly personal reflection” of major From that simple beginning, Mandeville saw that orderly thinkers, including Hume, Bentham, Mill, and Webb. David social structures (such as law, language, the market, and Hume, for example, believed that to “reach for perfection, to even the growth of knowledge) were a spontaneous growth seek an ideal, is noble, but dangerous, and is therefore an developing out of individual human actions. activity that individuals or voluntary groups may pursue, but governments certainly should not.” By the end of the nineteenth century, as Letwin observes, Beatrice Webb came to “equate the triumph of reason over passion with the rule of science over human life.” Thus did the “pursuit of certainty” displace the traditional English understanding of the limitations of human nature—hence the necessity of limits to governmental power and programs. Consequently, in our time, “Politics was no longer one of several human activities and at that not a very noble one; it encompassed all of human life” in quest of philosophical “certainty” and social perfection. The Liberty Fund edition is a reprint of the original work published by Oxford in 1965.

Shirley Robin Letwin (1924–1993) was a Professor of Political and Legal Philosophy at Harvard, Cambridge, and the London School of Economics.

Thomasius also argued that his orthodox Lutheran opponents had failed to understand this distinction and thereby had confused reason and Scripture.

This volume also contains significant selections from his Fundamenta juris naturae et gentium (Foundations of the Law of Nature and Nations), published in 1705. In Foundations Thomasius significantly revised the theory he had put forward in the Institutes, and much of the Foundations therefore is a paragraph- by-paragraph commentary on his earlier ideas.

También incluye diez ensayos que individual, se trata de interrogar la naturaleza y el alcance de Hume decidió retirar o dejar sin publicar por varias razones. los cambios ocurridos: ¿somos libres de expresarnos mediante el discurso? ¿Y en el trabajo? ¿Y a través del sexo? Charles Fried afirma que la igualdad y el comunitarismo son los rivales más poderosos de la libertad, y demuestra cómo la red de regulaciones gubernamentales -cada vez más enmarañada- a la vez apoya y amenaza las libertades personales. Según el autor, los temas que en última instancia definirán a nuestras sociedades son cuestiones como éstas: ¿puede un ciudadano quemar la bandera de su país? ¿Puede mirar -o producir- películas pornográficas? ¿Y mantener una relación abierta con una persona de su mismo sexo? ¿O conservar una porción de sus ingresos suficiente para llevar el tipo de vida que desea para sí y para su familia? Abordar esas cuestiones significa, de hecho, preguntarse cuánto le debemos al Estado -y debemos conservar- y cuándo podemos decirle a nuestro gobierno que nos deje en paz. La riqueza y la lucidez del análisis que Charles Fried hace en esta obra permitirán afrontar mejor los desafíos que -por izquierda o por derecha- intentarán limitar nuestra libertad en nombre de la presuntamente virtuosa búsqueda de la igualdad o de la gloria nacional.

Estas preguntas de Bertrand de Jouvenel encuentran respuesta en La ética de la redistribución. Al aislar la discusión de la objeción práctica más fuerte y habitual (la “ineficiencia” que introduce en la economía), De Jouvenel crea las condiciones para tratar la cuestión en sus bases éticas mismas. Y sus conclusiones no son alentadoras: según el filósofo francés, el principal efecto de las políticas gubernamentales no radica en obtener ingresos de la población rica para asignarlos a la población más pobre, sino en transferir el poder de la población -y especialmente el de la población más pobre- al Estado: cuando es el Estado el que asigna recursos, los individuos pierden su capacidad de decidir y de planificar sus propias vidas. Ante el hecho de que las burocracias públicas no dejan de crecer a expensas de la sociedad civil, La ética de la redistribución recrea las bases para una discusión que debe ser renovada en nuestro tiempo.

La crisis del siglo XVII Por Hugh Trevor-Roper Traducido por Lilia Mosconi El tema de este libro es la crisis general que aquejó al período “moderno temprano” de la historia, crisis que no fue sólo política y económica, sino también social e intelectual, y que no se limitó a un solo país sino que se hizo sentir en toda Europa. Según el autor, la crisis que a mediados del siglo XVII se produjo en el gobierno, en la sociedad y en las ideas, tanto en la Europa continental como en Inglaterra, constituye el crisol de los sucesos revolucionarios de ese siglo. A través del estudio de la caza de brujas (“un tema que debe enfrentar quienquiera sienta el impulso de poner demasiado énfasis en la modernidad de aquel período”), a través de la crítica de la interpretación weberiana de la relación entre calvinismo y capitalismo (“si los historiadores sociológicos prodigaran una mirada general al calvinismo y examinaran el capitalismo en general, creo que se verían obligados a modificar esta fórmula apasionante pero simple que Weber formuló”), y por medio del retrato de “tres extranjeros” -Samuel Hartlib, John Dury y Comenio-, tres hombres que “por su experiencia y sus ideas pertenecían a esa Internacional europea, y que pasaron a ser los filósofos de la revolución puritana inglesa en su combinación de reacción intelectual y novedosa utopía social”, o dedicando un capítulo al estudio de “los orígenes religiosos de la Ilustración”, Hugh Trevor-Roper descubre nuevos caminos para la comprensión de un momento seminal de la historia de Occidente: el momento en que se sentaron las bases institucionales e intelectuales de la comprensión moderna de la libertad, de la que somos herederos y beneficiarios.

Escritos politicos De Samuel Johnson Este livro reúne 24 ensaios do famoso Dr. Johnson (como ficou conhecido internacionalmente) sobre os principais problemas de seu tempo, incluindo os panfletos “O alarme falso”, “Reflexões sobre a coroação” e “O patriota” - um dos mais célebres do autor, produzido durante a Revolução Americana. Como afirma Donald Greene na Introdução ao volume, se é certo que Johnson se dedicou bastante a questões políticas, por outro lado é difícil classificar politicamente suas ideias: seus estudos são pragmáticos, não se prendendo a qualquer ilusão idealista ou romântica, embora ele defenda a ação política como ferramenta para desenvolver a condição humana e combater abusos e injustiças. Filho de um livreiro, Samuel Johnson nasceu em Lichtfield em 18 de setembro de 1709. Aos 19 anos foi enviado ao Pembroke College, em Oxford, mas teve que abandonar a instituição, um ano depois, por falta de recursos financeiros. Aos 27, partiu para Londres na companhia de seu pupilo, David Garrick, decidido a tornar- se escritor. Nos anos seguintes, escreveu, por dinheiro, pequenas biografias, sátiras políticas, reportagens e poemas, entre os quais o consagrado The vanity of human wishes, de 1749. Por quase três décadas viveu exclusivamente de sua pena, tornando -se celebridade nacional. Segundo o prestigiado crítico Harold Bloom, “ele é para a Inglaterra o mesmo que Emerson para os Estados Unidos, Goethe para a Alemanha e Montaigne para a França: o sábio nacional”.

Hayek. In over half a century of writing and teaching, he showed why national socialism was the very antithesis of capitalism, why communism was an economic and political philosophy ultimately doomed to failure, and why we must be wary of government intervention if we are to preserve the freedoms that make democracy and prosperity possible. Over the course of his intellectual career, Hayek set out an inspiring vision for a free society, based on principles elaborated in such works as The Constitution of Liberty and Law, Legislation, and Liberty.

In a life that spanned almost the entire twentieth century, he went from being dismissed, ridiculed, and ignored to being recognized and acclaimed as perhaps this century’s most significant social scientist and philosopher. To a remarkable degree, his story is the story of the twentieth century.
