Description 

Austrian economics puts private property at the center of its analysis of value, price, and exchange. Respect for private property is also implied by the fundamental moral principle, "Do not steal."

Hans-Hermann Hoppe has devoted his life's work to the economics and ethics of private property. This book collects some of Hoppe's most important essays on this topic. Hoppe, a leading student and colleague of Murray Rothbard whose works have been translated into a dozen languages, explores the economic, ethical, sociological, and historical aspects of private property, showing how property rights are vital to all aspects of society: employment, interest, money, banking, trade cycles, taxes, public goods, war, imperialism, and the rise and fall of civilizations.

Barron's writes that "Hoppe's writings are like a laser beam. . . . Be prepared for arguments that push you beyond your limits." Hoppe carefully and consistently draws out the implications of property rights, and the state's violation of the private property order, for society and prosperity. The book is filled with insights that push the reader to imagine a fully free, private, and successful social and economic order.

from St. John's 		The Economics And Ethics Of Private Property
The copy I received does not have the cover as shown in the photo. My cover shows poles with four wires connecting them. I did purchase this from Mises store to be cleat. Quite a number of pages in the book simply slip out while reading. 

I'm just finishing up part one on the economics of private property, chapter one of this book is the same as the last chapter of A Theory Of Socialism And Capital, the previous book I read. The book is an essential read, the content of the book is well worth the cost in time and money.

I rate four out of five, losing one point for the poor quality of the binding causing pages to simply slip out.
