“It is impossible to grasp the meaning of the idea of sound money if one does not realize that it was devised as an instrument for the protection of civil liberties against despotic inroads on the part of governments.” – from The Theory of Money and Credit Originally published in 1912, Ludwig von Mises’s The Theory of Money and Credit remains today one of economic theory’s most influential and controversial treatises. Von Mises’s examination into monetary theory changed forever the world of economic thought when he successfully integrated “macroeconomics” into “microeconomics” —previously deemed an impossible task —as well as offering explanations into the origin, value and future of money. One hundred years later, von Mises and the Austrian school of economic theory are still fiercely debated by world economists in their search for the solution to America’s current financial crisis. His theorems continue to inspire politicians and market experts who aim to raise up the common man and reduce the financial power of governments. In a preface added in 1952, von Mises urges the people of the world to see economic truth: “The great inflations of our age are not acts of God. They are man-made or, to say it bluntly, government-made. They are the off-shoots of doctrines that ascribe to governments the magic power of creating wealth out of nothing and of making people happy by raising the ‘national income.’” “The best book on money ever written.” —Murray Rothbard, economist and historian “The greatest economist of the twentieth century.” —Sandeep Jaitly, economist

Over a million copies sold! A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, this classic guide to the basics of economic theory defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day. “A magnificent job of theoretical exposition.”—Ayn Rand Considered among the leading economic thinkers of the “Austrian School,” which includes Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich (F.A.) Hayek, and others, Henry Hazlitt wrote Economics in One Lesson in 1946. Concise and instructive, it is also deceptively prescient and far-reaching in its efforts to dissemble economic fallacies that are so prevalent they have almost become a new orthodoxy. Economic commentators across the political spectrum have credited Hazlitt with foreseeing the collapse of the global economy which occurred more than fifty years after the initial publication of Economics in One Lesson. Hazlitt’s focus on non-governmental solutions, strong—and strongly reasoned—anti-deficit position, and general emphasis on free markets, economic liberty of individuals, and the dangers of government intervention make Economics in One Lesson every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.

Principles of Economics is a university-level textbook offering a comprehensive, engaging, and easy-to-read overview of the field of economics that is valuable to the university student, the general reader, and the professional economist. Saifedean Ammous’ first book, The Bitcoin Standard, is an international best-seller that has been translated into 36 languages. The book garnered praise from respected scholars, successful entrepreneurs, professional athletes, and countless readers worldwide for its engaging and enlightening presentation of sophisticated economic and technical concepts, delivered in a style accessible to the general reader. With its sequel, The Fiat Standard, Ammous established himself as one of the world’s most effective communicators of economic ideas, whose writing resonates with a growing global readership. In Principles of Economics, his most ambitious and elaborate work to date, Ammous offers readers a potent antidote to the modern economics textbook. After two decades of learning and teaching economics at university level, Ammous became aware that most economic textbooks confuse more than they illuminate and most university students tasked with reading them learn very little that is useful and actionable. The culmination of four years' work, this book uses the underappreciated approach of the Austrian school of economics to introduce the principles, methods, and concepts of economics in a readable, engaging, and informative manner. Rather than relying on mathematical analysis of aggregates and arcane theoretical models, the book uses the clear written word to effectively illustrate key economic concepts. The book first presents the Austrian school method and the foundational concepts of value and time. With these foundations laid, the second part of the book explores how humans act individually to achieve their ends under scarcity—in other words, how humans economize. A chapter is dedicated to detailed overviews of labor, property, capital, technology, and energy, and each topic is accompanied by vivid examples explaining its relevance to the reader. The third part of the book examines economizing in the social context, with chapters examining trade, money, the market order, and capitalism—important concepts that are often shrouded by misconceptions in most modern treatments. The fourth part of the book presents the Austrian perspective on monetary economics, laying the groundwork through a detailed discussion of time preference, followed by a discussion of banking and credit, and the business cycle and its monetary origins. The final section of the book explains why respect for property rights in an extended market order is the basis for human civilization, how the market order protects against aggression, and the failures of monopoly provision of defense.

Have you ever ventured into the intriguing domain of the Apocrypha within the inaugural edition of the 1560 Geneva Bible? A meticulously preserved treasury of ancient religious texts, it comprises a unique anthology of writings excluded from the Hebrew Bible but included in the Septuagint, offering a glimpse into the enigmatic world of antiquity. While not universally accepted as canonical, the Apocrypha yields profound insights into the human experience and matters of faith. The Apocrypha and the Geneva Bible (1560) are both significant entities in the realm of Christian literature and biblical scholarship. Here's a detailed description of each: Apocrypha: The term "Apocrypha" refers to a collection of ancient texts that are not included in the canonical Bible of most Protestant denominations but are part of the biblical canon of the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. These texts are considered by some to be of historical and religious value but are not considered divinely inspired Scripture by all religious traditions. The Apocrypha includes a diverse range of writings, including historical narratives, wisdom literature, and theological treatises, dating from the intertestamental period (roughly 300 BCE to 100 CE). Some of the most well-known books within the Apocrypha include: Tobit: A narrative about a pious Israelite named Tobit and his son Tobias, which contains elements of wisdom literature and angelic intervention. Judith: The story of a courageous Israelite widow named Judith who saves her people by seducing and beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes. Wisdom of Solomon: A philosophical and theological work attributed to King Solomon, which extols the virtues of wisdom and righteousness. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus): A collection of ethical teachings and maxims attributed to Jesus Ben Sirach, promoting practical wisdom and piety. 1 and 2 Maccabees: Historical accounts of the Maccabean revolt against Hellenistic oppression, detailing the exploits of the Jewish leader Judas Maccabeus and his brothers. These texts provide valuable insights into the beliefs, practices, and historical context of Second Temple Judaism and the early Christian era. Geneva Bible (1560): The Geneva Bible was one of the most influential English translations of the Bible during the Protestant Reformation. It was produced by English Protestant exiles who had fled to Geneva, Switzerland, during the reign of Queen Mary I of England, also known as "Bloody Mary" due to her persecution of Protestant dissenters. The Geneva Bible was first published in 1560 and quickly became popular among English-speaking Protestants for its accuracy, readability, and extensive study aids. Discover the secrets and marvels of this sacred text, which exerted an undeniable influence in its time, surpassing even Coverdale's Bible in popularity and inspiring luminaries such as William Shakespeare. As the first mechanically and serially printed Bible made directly available to the general public, its impact was profound. With its Calvinist origins, this Bible served as the primary text for English Protestantism in the 16th century. It was embraced by notable figures such as William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell and his soldiers (in the soldier's pocket Bible version), John Knox, John Donne, and others, and found its way to America through the Puritan pilgrims aboard the Mayflower.

Bitcoin did not appear out of nowhere. For decades prior to Satoshi Nakamoto’s invention, a diverse group of computer scientists, privacy activists, and heterodox economists tried to create a digital form of money that could operate independently of government control. The Genesis Book tells the story of the people and projects that inspired the invention of the world’s first successful peer-to-peer electronic cash system. “The Genesis Book takes us on a century-long journey through the little-known stories of visionaries whose insights and innovations laid the foundation for the revolutionary creation of Bitcoin. From the economists who challenged conventional wisdom to cypherpunks who blazed new trails in privacy, Aaron van Wirdum meticulously weaves together a tapestry of technological triumphs, setbacks, and extraordinary breakthroughs. You'll be captivated by the anecdotes of individuals who dared to dream beyond the status quo, pushing the envelope to reshape the landscape of money itself.” — Jameson Lopp “Why is Bitcoin so different from its predecessors? This book sheds light on the *problems* which vexed smart, hardworking people in the pre-Bitcoin era. That is the right way to tell a technology story. All of the important problems are included, and they're all in the proper order. The best Bitcoin book yet written.” — Paul Sztorc “Until now you could find many books about Bitcoin, but none that covered its multifaceted cultural background in a complete, systematic, and elegant way. Aaron van Wirdum, already famous for his ability to accurately convey subtle technical matters to a generalist audience, just wrote it. A must-read if you want to understand where Bitcoin came from.” — Giacomo Zucco “I long suspected that van Wirdum was Bitcoin’s best historian, and this page-turner proves it. It’s a tour de force. The Genesis Book is a highly readable and essential history, revealing the many causal connections between Viennese Classical Liberalism, the Anglo-Saxon Cypherpunk movement, and the advent of Bitcoin. Whereas other books on the industry have tended to focus on headline-making entrepreneurs, van Wirdum has the technical chops to dig under the surface and correctly identify the brilliant figures who built the foundations on top of which the Bitcoin edifice was eventually engineered. Over the course of 16 dense chapters, The Genesis Book combines the kind of in-depth research and philosophical connections that one could only expect from an industry veteran (van Wirdum was one of the first writers to ever gain employment in the Bitcoin industry), with the engaging prose you’d look for in a respected periodical. One cannot understand Bitcoin without studying its extraordinary origins, and I’m thrilled this book exists to bring that knowledge to a wide audience.” — Tuur Demeester Aaron van Wirdum studied Journalism at the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht and Politics and Society in Historical Perspective at Utrecht University, where he adopted a focus on the historic influence of new technologies on societal structures. He discovered Bitcoin in 2013, and has been writing about the world’s first successful electronic cash project ever since. For most of these years, this was for Bitcoin Magazine: first as journalist, then as technical editor, and finally as editor-in-chief of the print edition. The Genesis Book is his first book.
