Dear friends,
Welcome to our July Econlib subscriber newsletter! As summer unfolds, we're excited to bring you a selection of thought-provoking articles to enrich your reading list.
This month, we delve into a diverse range of economic topics. Richard Gunderman explores the economic insights hidden within T.S. Eliot's poetry, offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of literature and economics. Arnold Kling examines the complex relationship between religion and business, shedding light on how faith influences economic decision-making. For those interested in broader economic theories, Alexander William Salter presents a compelling case for Universal Economics, challenging readers to think beyond traditional boundaries. Rounding out our summer reading, Aeon Skoble takes a deep dive into Robert Nozick's philosophical contributions to libertarian thought and their economic implications on the 50th anniversary of the publication of Anarchy, State, and Utopia. These articles promise to stimulate your intellectual curiosity and provide fresh insights into the world of economics. Whether you're lounging by the pool or seeking shade from the summer heat, we hope these reads will spark engaging discussions and new ideas. Enjoy your summer reading!
We’d also like to draw your attention to a very special Liberty Matters Forum at our sister site, the Online Library of Liberty, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the South Royalton Conference, a pivotal event that reignited interest in Austrian economics. This discussion brings together leading scholars to reflect on the conference's lasting impact and the evolution of Austrian economic thought over the past half-century, including our own David Henderson, who was at the conference.
Whether you're a seasoned economist, a curious student, or simply interested in alternative economic perspectives, this forum offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge ideas and participate in a lively intellectual exchange. We invite you to dive into the discussions, pose questions, and contribute your thoughts as we collectively explore the enduring legacy of the South Royalton Conference and its implications for the future of economics.
As always, there are even more new things to read and listen to below. We hope you find them valuable, and we thank you for exploring economics with us. Until next month!
