NEW BOOKS AND ARTICLES

THE FOLLOWING IS A SELECT LIST OF BOOKS AND ARTICLES WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF THE EDITORS, MAY BE OF INTEREST TO OUR READERS.

  • James M. Buchanan and Gordon Tullock, The Calculus of Consent. Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of Michigan Press, 1962. $6.95. An attempt to apply a rigorously scientific approach, based primarily on game theory and marginal utility analysis, to the problems of democratic government.
  • Milton Friedman, Capitalism and Freedom. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. $1.50, paper. Happily, a paperback reprint of Prof. Friedman’s book, published last year, has already been issued. Tightly-reasoned and bold in its conclusions, this volume is an excellent example of the approach of the “Chicago school” of neo-liberal economists.
  • George B. de Huszar, editor, Fundamentals of Voluntary Health Care. Caldwell, Idaho: Caxton Press. $6. An intelligent selection of pertinent and cogent essays on voluntary as against socialized medicine, by a number of experts in the field.
  • Michael Oakeshott, Rationalism in Politics. New York: Basic Books. $6.50. A collection of essays on politics, ethics and related subjects, permeated with Burkeanism and written by one of the leading contemporary British conservative writers.
  • Edmund A. Opitz and Robert LeFevre, Must We Depend upon Political Protection? Colorado Springs, Colo.: The Freedom School. 75¢. A debate on “limited” vs. “no” government.
  • Hans Rothfels, The German Opposition to Hitler. Chicago: Regnery, 1962. $4.00. A new edition of the classic introduction to the internal opposition to Nazism, which culminated in the attempted coup d’etat of July 20, 1944. A stimulating review of Rothfels’ book appears in the Winter, 1962-63, Modern Age. Prof. Klaus Epstein here argues that Roosevelt’s foreign policy in regard to Germany and Russia was so perverse that, within its framework, we must be grateful that the coup did not succeed!
  • Eliseo Vivas, Relativism: Its Paradoxes and Pitfalls. Pamphlet; free copy available from Intercollegiate Society of Individualists, 629 Public Ledger Building, Philadelphia 6, Pa. An interesting, if oblique, handling of the thesis of the relativism of moral values, by a distinguished professional philosopher.
  • J. K. Zawodny, Death in the Forest. South Bend, Ind.: Notre Dame University Press. $6.50. A detailed and comprehensive examination of the facts concerning the massacre of 10,000 Polish officers and intellectuals at Katyn Forest in 1940 by the Russian Army.
  • Robert E. Gaskins, Jr., “The Voluntary Society,” The Standard, December, 1962. Free copy available from The Standard Publishing Co., Lawrence, Kans. A young libertarian presents a proposal for extending the principle of private ownership to the court system and the police force.
  • William McCord, “Long Night in Ghana,” New Leader, Nov. 26, 1962. A professor of sociology reports on the totalitarian state being erected by the Osagyefo (“In Accra today one sees phlanxes of ‘Young Pioneers,’ aged 12, chanting their oath: ‘Nkrumah is always right! Nkrumah will never die!’ ”), and replies point by point to the Establishment’s apologia for the African dictator.

Know Your Enemy!!

The editors of NEW INDIVIDUALIST REVIEW have recently, through their highly placed contacts in the Communist Empire, come into possession of a fantastic and hitherto secret Communist blue-print for world domination. Entitled BLUE-PRINT FOR WORLD DOMINATION, it was composed in the depths of the Kremlin in 1920, by a noted Bolshevik writer, and has been ratified and re-ratified by numerous Communist Congresses and countless Communist deeds. Every patriotic American must familiarize himself with this shocking and sobering document! Here are the Conclusions, as set forth by its author, the well-known Bolshevik leader, V. I. LENIN.

“In order to conquer the world for our Godless Creed we must employ infinite craftiness and patience. The most difficult nation to vanquish will be the United States, for there the people are basically prosperous, moral, and un-revolutionary, because of the inspiring achievements of free enterprise. After the United States has been initially softened up by the abolition of the gold standard and the introduction of welfare legislation, we will begin this Three-Point Program for victory over America:

“(1) First we will trick them into banning prayer in the public schools. Just as fluoridation of water destroys the body, so the elimination of public-school prayer destroys the spirit.

“(2) Then, in keeping with our almost Oriental immoralism, we will begin the steady introduction of pornographic materials—both those which are rankly so, and those which we will camouflage as “avant-gardism”—into American society. Pornography will be the chief weapon in our campaign to rot out the moral fibre of America, but abstract art and 12-tone music are not to be neglected in this connection.

“(3) Our final take-over will be preceded by an unparalleled crusade to destroy the magazine, NEW INDIVIDUALIST REVIEW. This quarterly journal, because it is so highly informative, entertaining and intellectual, is perhaps our single most serious problem in the United States, rivalled only by the Strategic Air Command. To destroy NEW INDIVIDUALIST REVIEW is to make America a plum ripe for the picking!”

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP NIR . . .

During the past year, the circulation and staff of NEW INDIVIDUALIST REVIEW has been expanding rapidly. This journal is now being sold at many local newsstands and at over 40 colleges and universities. Despite a few dissenting notes, the general reaction of libertarian and conservative leaders has been favorable. The author of “The Conservative Mind,” Prof. Russell Kirk, for instance, has said that NEW INDIVIDUALIST REVIEW is a work of “genuine intellectual power” and the editor of “National Review,” William F. Buckley, Jr. has called it “by far the best student magazine on our side of the fence.” If you agree that this is a useful magazine which ought to be read by more people, there are four things that you can do to further the growth of libertarian-conservative ideas.

(1) You can urge your college library or your local library to subscribe. A library subscription makes an excelent donation since it may introduce the magazine to dozens of people.

(2) You can urge your friends to subscribe or to donate subscriptions to students.

(3) If you are a college student, you can volunteer to act as our representative on your campus.

(4) Our student subscription price ($1.00 a year) does not cover the cost involved; this price is purposely kept low to encourage as wide a readership as possible among undergraduates. Our deficit is made up by voluntary contributions from individuals. Any donation which you might be able to afford at this time would be gratefully received. None of our staff receives any remuneration of any kind.

Society lives and acts only in individuals . . . Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way for himself if society is sweeping toward destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle (between freedom and slavery) into which our epoch has plunged us.

—Ludwig Von Mises
