By Garet Garrett

THE BUBBLE THAT BROKE THE WORLD [By Garet Garrett] Is a book the Mises Foundation has resurrected from its grave and given great prominence. I agree that this hither-to virtually unknown book is a great read. And the Mises Foundation has generously reissued it. At only $6, it is a good buy, I would say. In an earlier story, I recommended buying this book. This still stands. My admiration is very great. But of course, this book, written by an anti-Marxist, is anti-labor. This is a general weakness of much writing by 'pro-capitalists' just as Marxists can't understand labor if they leave out the need for savings and capital itself!
