David, next time perhaps choose the name of someone famous but dead a long time ago such as John Locke.
Too bad Alchian didn't write those reviews, but the good news is that he is still active and writing. The reviews are not from Armen Alchian, they are from David Skarbek, who is a PhD econ. Thanks to my friend Jim Rose for the pointer. Highly Recommended!” After Andrei Schleifer, it’s another top scholar who endorses Pete’s work and his book Why Perestroika Failed. Why Perestroika Failed is definitely in my list of top ten books.
Pete will be pleased to read what Alchian says of him: “I have been a fan of Boettke's work for quite sometime so I expected a brilliant work. He reviews three books about Austrian economics: Bettina Bien Greaves’s Austrian Economics: An Anthology, which he sees as a “great read ” Israel Kirzner’s introduction to Ludwig von Mises, which he highly recommends and finally Peter Boettke’s Why Perestroika Failed, which he deems a “brilliant read.” While not an Austrian economist, Alchian like many others such as James Buchanan, has been a fellow traveler of the Austrian school for a long time. See especially his review of Mancur Olson’s Power and Prosperity, Thomas Schelling’s The Strategy of Conflict, John Kenneth Galbraith’s The Affluent Society, Steven Levitt’s Freakonomics, Robert Heilbroner’s The Wordly Philosophers, Karl Marx’s The Communist Manifesto, David Henderson’s The Joy of Freedom, and Alejandro Chafuen’s Faith and Liberty. Alchian's daughter and Allen were the two co-authors. In 2005 he updated University Economics and published it as Universal Economics. Alchian is almost 93 and like Milton Friedman, he is still going strong. It is as good as reading the books themselves. He currently has 28 reviews of important books written by economists and others. If you don't know about Alchian’s reviews of books online see his webpage on. University economics : elements of inquiry / Armen A. 罗斯巴德曾说过《University Economics》要高于萨缪尔森的《经济学》“How much better it would be to stop trying to touch on every conceivable economic topic and to take the basic essentials of economic theory and develop them carefully and thoroughly (as, for example, Alchian and Allen do in their brilliant University Economics, although this too is far above the true level of the basic introductory course).”（Murray N. "I've enjoyed working on problems in economics so much that it didn't seem like work," Alchian said in 2009.
