Dear Friend,
From its inception, one of the core missions of the Mises Institute has been to cultivate new generations of Austrian economists to expand the scholarship of the Misesian tradition. Dr. Patrick Newman is precisely the sort of scholar the Mises Institute was built to support. His upcoming book, Cronyism: Liberty vs Power in Early America, 1607–1849, is the sort of book that only a Mises Institute scholar would be equipped to write.
Won't you help us with this important project?
As Murray Rothbard showed throughout his career, economic history—when done properly—serves as the most powerful critiques of the state. In Cronyism, Dr. Newman uses the “liberty versus power” framework favored by Rothbard to tell a compelling and original narrative on the early days of the American republic and the rise of a Federalist regime that conquered a nation conceived in liberty.
Beginning in the early days of the American colonies, Cronyism takes readers through the Mexican-American War, uncovering the underlying motivations of corporate special interests and their allies in positions of political power. From the early schemes of the Hamiltonians, the vulgar corruption of the celebrated "Era of Good Feelings," and to the fascinating network of proto-Austrian intellectuals that supported the Jacksonians, this volume sheds light on history that will never come from state-subsidized scholarship.
With a donation of $500 today, you will be listed as a patron of Dr. Newman’s important new book. Your support also reflects an important investment in the production of original Austrian scholarship that will be consumed around the world.
