Editorial : From Booklist Austrian-born economist Ludwig von Mises (who died in 1973) was a professor at New York University for nearly 25 years, until 1969. A free-market advocate who believed in the power of the consumer, Mises was one of the leading members of what is called "the Austrian school of economics." There are already any number of scholarly works that examine Mises' life and his theories. This latest book, though, is part of a new series called Library of Modern Thinkers, which is designed to make the ideas of less well known sociologists, political scientists, and economists accessible to a more general audience. Kirzner, author of Discovery, Capitalism, and Distributive Justice (1989), was a student and ardent admirer of Mises. He sketches a brief biographical portrait of his former professor to provide "the human and historical context within which Mises' intellectual contributions emerged."

In this thorough yet concise introduction to Mises life, economics, and influence, Kirzner (a former student of Mises and an influential free-market economist himself) traces the key elements of Mises' life, explains his core contributions to economic theory, and assesses his impact on twentieth-century economics and political thought. Now available in quality paperback.

Maureen Farquhar (maureenfarquhar@yahoo.com). It is promising to see a work on Rand's thought appear in a series of works containing the likes of Plato, Aristotle and Kant, and professor Gotthelf makes good on the judgment to place Rand alongside such thinkers in this short but rich work. One gets a sense of the axiomatic structure of her thought from the book and can hypothesize how she arrives at the positions that she takes in the other branches of philosophy (politics, aesthetics), but Gotthelf doesn't show how she arrives at them (although he sketches out how she does) and it couldn't be obvious to one not acquainted with her thought how she arrives at them and how successful her defense of these positions is.
On Ayn Rand is a must read for any student of Rand's thought and for anyone interested in studying philosophy.
