[edit] Review of book

(Moved from article to talk page by Dick Clark 18:30, 26 July 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Meaning, substance, and implications

De Soto effectively critiques Monetarist and Keynesian theories as different aspects of the same sophism in Money, Bank Credit, and Economic Cycles beginning on page 509. Subjectivist Revolution writers such as Bohm Bawerk are cited with page number specificity and I spent more time, so far, reading the works cited - than his works. De Soto's work appears to be worthy and sound: worth many weeks of perusal. I seem to have passed over much the material he cites in silence and with a lack of understanding. He brought it to life and gave it meaning not found originally by me. Thanks to De Soto, that error is being corrected.

My ignorance admitted and being corrected, it was a pleasure to become the owner of such a fine work. Here here! Nice reading.

[edit] Meaning, substance, and implications

Granted Huerta has a great book, but not much is known of him to warrant an entry here at the moment unless someone is willing to provide a list of some of his papers plus some of the unique ideologies he stands for.

For example his book, Money, Bank Credit, and Economic Cycles advocates for free markets over central banks or other government controlled monetary institutions. His advocacy for free imigration and the ethics of capitalism also need to be mentioned.

[edit] ISBNs

I have added the first ISBN to enable easy location of vendors for his book(s). (Click on the ISBN if you have not tried this before.)

At the moment, Amazon has the ISBN wrong in their database for the English translation of Money, Bank Credit, and Economic Cycles, but I have notified them of their error. With a little luck, they will have fixed it by the time anyone attempts the link. -- RayBirks 16:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

FYI, I have just added Seńor de Soto's name to the de Soto disambiguation page. -- RayBirks 15:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
