A shout out to the Ludwig Von Mises Institute for the Free books. Yes, I have read Economics in One Lesson in the past. However, I didn’t own it. The Mises Institute edition is a beautiful hardcover that does the book justice.

No problem. I happen to be listening to the Human Action Podcast and the offer was presented. I direct messaged Jeff Deist on twitter for the offer code. Here we are.

Nice! I recall my astonished reaction after reading the chapters on inflation and price controls. I walked away with a truly enlightened and thus skeptical view towards any measure to increase government intervention.
Also, I thought I would ask, do you know where I could pick up a copy of “The Turning Point – revitalizing the Soviet economy” by Russian economists Shmelev and Popov? I have been searching for it unsuccessfully over the last 3 months.
And Happy New Year,

Happy New year. That is a difficult book find.
Sold out everywhere and it commands a high price tag. Out of my curiosity I have contacted the publisher. If I receive an update I will let you know. eBay maybe another good place to look.

Great suggestion! I didn’t think of contacting the publisher, hopefully they get back to you. I will search eBay soon, who knows, perhaps my efforts will prove successful. In the meantime, I actually stumbled across this online copy (available in rental format for those with accounts) :

Btw, the last copy I was able to locate was over $10k, which definitely confirms the validity of your comment!

I would agree. I have also kindly asked Enrique over at Prior Probability to see if he can hunt this one down.
For me, this is starting to become a challenge.

That’s great. I’m asking around too in hopes I come up with something.

I have heard back from the publisher. They have suggested to look for it at second-hand shops. Obviously, this isn’t at all helpful. We tried.

My thanks and appreciation Peter,
I’ll continue to keep my eyes open for a copy since I’m thinking it may turn up unexpectedly with time.
Also, thanks for recommending searching eBay. While exploring the used books I chanced across a semi-intact 150 year old copy of John Milton’s Paradise Lost. I picked it up in a heartbeat!

I have e-mailed you Part I of the book in PDf format. I should be receiving the second half in the next couple of days or so.
