There is one small thing that bothers me about this analysis. The “experts” seem to have not been shot at enough (and it doesn’t take much) to note that when the hammer drops the gun goes “boom.” But when the bullet passes over your head, it goes “crack.” You will hear the crack before you hear the boom.
That is because it (the bullet) is moving at a speed faster than the speed of sound (just less than 1,100 feet per second). The crack is a mini sonic boom. You can use this to judge how far the shooter is away from you. The instant you hear the crack begin counting as fast as you can say the numbers aloud–one, two, three, four, five, six–BOOM–the sound of the gun firing finally arrives and the shooter is about 600 yards away.
That is information you may find useful as the war continues to escalate. — jtl, 410

Environmental & Natural Resource Economics: The Austrian View
edited by
Dr Jimmy T (Gunny) LaBaume
Is now available in both PAPERBACK and Kindle
Murray N. Rothbard was the father of what some call Radical Libertarianism or Anarcho-Capitalism which Hans-Hermann Hoppe described as “Rothbard’s unique contribution to the rediscovery of property and property rights as the common foundation of both economics and political philosophy, and the systematic reconstruction and conceptual integration of modern, marginalist economics and natural-law political philosophy into a unified moral science: libertarianism.”
This book applies the principles of this “unified moral science” to environmental and natural resource management issues.
The book started out life as an assigned reading list for a university level course entitled Environmental and Natural Resource Economics: The Austrian View.
As I began to prepare to teach the course, I quickly saw that there was a plethora of textbooks suitable for universal level courses dealing with environmental and natural resource economics. The only problem was that they were all based in mainstream neo-classical (or Keynesian) theory. I could find no single collection of material comprising a comprehensive treatment of environmental and natural resource economics based on Austrian Economic Theory.
However, I was able to find a large number of essays, monographs, papers delivered at professional meetings and published from a multitude of sources. This book is the result. It is composed of a collection of research reports and essays by reputable scientists, economists, and legal experts as well as private property and free market activists.
The book is organized into seven parts: I. Environmentalism: The New State Religion; II. The New State Religion Debunked; III. Introduction to Environmental and Natural Resource Economics; IV. Interventionism: Law and Regulation; V. Pollution and Recycling; VI. Property Rights: Planning, Zoning and Eminent Domain; and VII. Free Market Conservation. It also includes an elaborate Bibliography, References and Recommended Reading section including an extensive Annotated Bibliography of related and works on the subject.
The intellectual level of the individual works ranges from quite scholarly to informed editorial opinion.
