Mavericks in Political Economy and Their Classics Today
Classic works of political economy endure because they engage our critical faculties and compel us to think deeply about topics of lasting significance, often in ways foreign to current orthodoxy.
 
Along with insights about Adam Smith, Keynes, Malthus, Marx, Mises, Hayek, and more, the latest issue of The Independent Review features numerous web-exclusive reviews of important new books. (Scroll down for links.) Especially timely is managing editor Robert M. Whaples’ review of Economics in the Time of COVID-19, edited by Richard Baldwin and Beatrice Weder di Mauro.

Full issues of The Independent Review are available in downloadable eBook format (PDF, EPUB, and MOBI) for just $2.99, or print for $12.00.
