Larry White at Hillsdale -- The Great Debate Lecture
|Peter Boettke|
During the fall 2012 term I taught Larry White's The Clash of Economic Ideas in 2 of my classes -- 1 undergraduate and 1 graduate. It is an amazing work -- extremely readable and, dare I say, entertaining as it is full of history and fascinating personalities, yet also serious scholarly examination of economic doctrine. I cannot praise this work highly enough, and it takes the reader from the original challenge to the laissez faire model through the great battles with Keynesianism, market socialism, the monetarist counter-revolution, the rise of New Institutionalism and public choice, and the empirical realities of Depression, stagflation, financial crisis, and debt crisis, as well as post-WWII economic miracles, the collapse of communism, the failure of development planning, and the benefits of free trade and globalization.
Here is a recent video of White discussing his wonderful book:

I have used Larry's book for the past three years (first in manuscript form). It is truly excellent.

I think it is a great book -- even a necessary book for the advancement of the "Hayekian movement." Glad to hear it is being used in the classroom. Buy it, please:
