Economic Thought Before Adam Smith | Chapter 4, Part 1/2: The Late Spanish Scholastics

The Internet Archive:

In "Economic Thought Before Adam Smith," Murray N. Rothbard traces economic ideas from ancient sources to show that laissez-faire liberalism and economic thought itself began with the scholastics and early Roman, Greek, and canon law. He celebrates Aristotle and Democritus, for example, but loathes Plato and Diogenes. He is kind toward Taoism and Stoicism. He is no fan of Tertullian but very much likes St. Jerome, who defended the merchant class. Narrated by Jeff Riggenbach. http://mises.org<br /><br />Playlist link for complete presentation: http://tinyurl.com/y757wcwy<br /><br />Full text of "Economic Thought Before Adam Smith: An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought, Volume I" available online: <br /><br />PDF version: http://tinyurl.com/y6zwh9fk<br /><br />EPUB version: http://tinyurl.com/yayn27c9<br /><br />* * * * *<br /><br />Murray N. Rothbard (1926-1995) was America's greatest radical libertarian author – writing authoritatively about ethics, philosophy, economics, American history, and the history of ideas.
