Mike Reid: create article with content from Rothbard's History of Money and Banking in the United States

The Panic of 1907 was a severe US financial crisis that struck in early October of 1907. "Not only was there a general recession and contraction, but the major banks in New York and Chicago were, as in most other depressions in American history, allowed by the government to suspend specie payments; that is, to continue in operation while being relieved of their contractual obligation to redeem their notes and deposits in cash or in gold."<ref>Rothbard, Murray N. [http://mises.org/resources/1022/Money-and-Banking ''History of Money and Banking in the United States''.]</ref>

Tragedy of the commons

2010-12-01T22:07:03Z

Mike Reid: create article with content from Wikipedia-en

{{Wikipedia text|Tragedy_of_the_commons|399659964}}

The '''tragedy of the commons''' is a dilemma arising from the situation in which multiple individuals, acting independently, and solely and rationally consulting their own self-interest, will ultimately deplete a shared limited resource even when it is clear that it is not in anyone's long-term interest for this to happen. This dilemma was first described in an influential article titled "The Tragedy of the Commons," written by [[Garrett Hardin]] and first published in the journal ''Science'' in 1968.<ref name=hardin68>Garrett Hardin, [http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/162/3859/1243 "The Tragedy of the Commons"], ''Science'', Vol. 162, No. 3859 (December 13, 1968), pp. 1243-1248. Also available here [http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/reprint/162/3859/1243.pdf] and [http://www.garretthardinsociety.org/articles/art_tragedy_of_the_commons.html here.]</ref>

In 1940, [[Ludwig von Mises]] wrote concerning the problem:

<blockquote>If land is not owned by anybody, although legal formalism may call it public property, it is utilized without any regard to the disadvantages resulting. Those who are in a position to appropriate to themselves the returns — lumber and game of the forests, fish of the water areas, and mineral deposits of the subsoil — do not bother about the later effects of their mode of exploitation. For them the erosion of the soil, the depletion of the exhaustible resources and other impairments of the future utilization are external costs not entering into their calculation of input and output. They cut down the trees without any regard for fresh shoots or reforestation. In hunting and fishing they do not shrink from methods preventing the repopulation of the hunting and fishing grounds.<ref>[[Ludwig von Mises]], [[Human Action|Human Action: Scholar's Edition]], Auburn, AL: Ludwig von Mises Institute, 1998 [1949]. </ref></blockquote>

Robert Nozick

Mike Reid: Add ref on Riggenbach quote

'''Robert Nozick''' (November 16, 1938 – January 23, 2002) was an [[United States|American]] [[political philosophy|political philosopher]], best known for his 1974 book ''[[Anarchy, State, and Utopia]]''. Claiming inspiration from [[John Locke]]'s ''[[Second Treatise on Government]]'', he argued for [[free trade]], [[natural rights]], and the [[principle of non-aggression]], using the last to defend voluntary [[slavery|enslavement]] contracts.

Nozick received his Ph.D. at [[Princeton University|Princeton]] in 1963, and went on to become a professor at [[Harvard University]]. In addition to ''Anarchy, State, and Utopia'', his work addressed [[decision theory]], [[utilitarianism]], and [[epistemology]].

[[Jeff Riggenbach]] tells the story of how Nozick was won (at least temporarily) over to libertarianism:<ref name="Riggenbach_Nozick">[[Jeff Riggenbach]]. 2010. "[http://mises.org/daily/4862 Anarchy, State and Robert Nozick.]" Mises Daily. Referenced via article source 2010-11-30.</ref>

{{quote|[[Ralph Raico]], recalls first meeting or at least hearing about Robert Nozick in the very late 1950s or very early 1960s, through a mutual friend, who, like Nozick, was a graduate student of philosophy at Princeton. This mutual friend, Raico [http://www.lewrockwell.com/raico/raico15.html recalls], brought Nozick over to Rothbard's apartment one evening – "it must have been in the early 60s," he writes – for what turned out to be the first of many long nights of discussion and debate.

And those nights of discussion and debate were fruitful. … This became evident in the fall of 1974 … when a new book appeared on the scene amid considerable fanfare – a book called ''[[Anarchy, State & Utopia]]'' by Robert Nozick. In the opening pages, Nozick confessed to his readers that over the preceding several years he had "found myself becoming convinced of (as they are now often called) libertarian views" and that this process had been touched off by "a long conversation about six years ago with Murray Rothbard."}}

{{Wikipedia text|Inquiry_Magazine|332012695}}

'''''Inquiry Magazine''''' was a [[libertarian]] magazine published from November 1977 to 1984. It was originally published by the [[Cato Institute]], but in February 1982 was transferred to the [[Libertarian Review|Libertarian Review Foundation]], after the ''Libertarian Review'' was merged into ''Inquiry'' in January of that year. The magazine originally was published 'semi-monthly', with about 20 issues per year in its first four and a half years of publication (November 1977 thru April 82), and each issue about 32 pages long. With the May 82 issue, ''Inquiry'' was retitled ''Inquiry: A Libertarian Review'' and went monthly, with each issue at least 48 pages long. In 1984, it went to 10 issues a year, with 2 'double issues'.

Ray, I think we may have just been unlucky and had an editing conflict because we were both working on the page at the same time. So far as I can tell, anyone should be able to edit the [[MisesWiki:Community_portal|Community portal]] page. Try again, and first check to see if it lets you make a minor change.
