The trouble is, my TomWoods.com is already so busy with links that I can’t think of an obvious place to put it.

This has been fixed.

Right now I don’t think we would have anything for you to do, but I am grateful for the offer.

Also, I think the person to contact is Robert Higgs. If you contact me through the contact page of the site, I will send you his email address.

On Hitler, see Adam Tooze’s book The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy. Check out reviews of the book online for an overview. See also Hans Hoppe’s discussion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYEUHk16yk4

I’m afraid I don’t know about how war was viewed in connection with prosperity or poverty before World War II. This sounds like a good master’s thesis. I would bet in the pre-Keynesian age people were far more sensible and realistic.

Sowell’s book Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality? deals with this, but that book was published in the mid-1980s. I don’t know if he has updated his work on this in later writings.

John Senior’s program was a veritable miracle, a truly one-of-a-kind accomplishment. Here I am content to provide courses that offer people a corrective to what they may have been taught in school.

Hunt Tooley is an expert on the world wars, and much more knowledgeable than I am, and Jonathan Bean has done some good scholarly work on race. Here’s more info:

I also recommend the relevant section of Amity Shlaes’ book The Forgotten Man. That section is especially useful for the human-interest aspect of the case.

John, I take Prof. Gutzman to be saying that even under the present (incorporationist) understanding of the First Amendment, the federal government would not strike down such a law.

I don’t know of one. It goes to show that there’s always plenty of work for us still to do.

If it helps, a shorter version of Berger’s argument on the Fourteenth Amendment can be found in his book The Fourteenth Amendment and the Bill of Rights.

My apologies; I accidentally skipped over this question. I would ask Prof. Herbener in the Austrian economics forum, since he teaches a course at Grove City on U.S. economic history and may have access to such a graph.

Kevin, I think the relative economic strength of the U.S. vs. Tibet may be relevant to the question, though.
