Poor Lenin’s Almanac: Perverse Leftist Proverbs for Modern Life
Mark Musser’s review at Accuracy in Media:
Bruce Walker does a masterful job exposing the corrupt Marxist leftovers from the 1800’s that is currently rotting America from the inside out as many leftist ideals have subtly and slowly replaced our Judeo-Christian heritage. Using a satirical method that rivals Juvenal’s satire of the debauched Roman Empire, Mr. Walker distills for us in common language the rotten fruits of communistic ideology. This political burlesque is not only revealed by the title, but continues throughout the entirety of the book. Each short chapter is satirically labeled to encapsulate 52 vices of Marxist ideology that are currently wreaking havoc on the political and moral fabric of our society.
Mises: The Last Knight of Liberalism
Shawn Ritenour’s review on MisesDaily:
Washington’s stunning economic power grabs — healthcare centralization, Keynesian fiscal stimulus, and Federal Reserve bailouts — are creating an unintended consequence: an increasing demand for freedom literature. Exhibit A would have to be F. A. Hayek’s 66-year-old Road to Serfdom recently hitting number one for all books on Amazon.com. Those desiring an even deeper education in the ideas of liberty are well advised to study the life and work of Hayek’s brilliant teacher and friend, Ludwig von Mises.
Mises was the premier Austrian economist of his generation, whose legacy reveals him to be the greatest economist of the 20th century. Almost single handedly, he kept the embers of free-market economics burning during the interwar years. After immigrating to New York during World War II, he helped establish a living legacy of thinkers and authors who understand and promote the nature and consequences of a free society. Mises’s story is magnificently told by Guido Hülsmann in his biography, Mises: The Last Knight of Liberalism.
