Maverick’s Defense of Freedom: Selected Writings & Speeches of Benjamin A Rogge

Benjamin A Rogge’s ability to speak and write about serious economic topics with humour, humility, and wit, but without difficult jargon, math, or diagrams, places him in a category all his own. This new collection of fifty-three essays, many of which have never before been published, gathers some of Rogge’s most interesting talks and writings spanning the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. This volume encompasses a vast array of topics including the case for individual liberty and responsibility in maintaining the free-market economy, the nature of economics, the business system, labour markets, money and inflation, and education. By organising the volume thematically, the editor, Dwight R Lee, has been able to highlight and place in context the many different areas of economics that compose Professor Rogge’s extensive output.
