Money and the State

The Austrian articles keep coming on the Cobden Centre. Steven Baker explores the position of the state in the market, with the help of Mises. Here's my comment on the piece:

For an extension on this seminal chapter from Mises, a good place to go next is ‘Power and Market’ by Murray Rothbard. This book is now usually tacked onto the back of ‘Man, Economy, and State’, which also has an amazing final chapter which forms the prelude to ‘Power and Market’

The interesting chapters in both books, with regard to the position of the state in the market, are these:

CHAPTER 12-THE ECONOMICS OF VIOLENT INTERVENTION IN THE MARKET (ME&S)

CHAPTER 2-FUNDAMENTALS OF INTERVENTION (P&M)

CHAPTER 3-TRIANGULAR INTERVENTION
