The Ghost of Garet Garrett
The Mises Institute continues its redoubtable efforts in digitizing important lost parts of America's libertarian heritage. Up now are issues of American Affairs, a journal of mostly free-market proto-libertarian thought published by the National Industrial Conference Board and edited by Old Right journalist Garet Garrett.
They've got three issues up so far, from 1945, and they provide great insight into the concerns of free-marketeers as the war was winding down, with contributions from, among others, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and Isabel Paterson.
Wouldn't you know it, more about all those characters and their concerns can be found in my book Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement.
