Good and evil we know in the field of this world grow up together almost inseparably; and the knowledge of good is so involved and interwoven with the knowledge of evil, and in so many cunning resemblances hardly to be discerned, that those confused seeds which were imposed upon Psyche as an incessant labor to cull out, and sort asunder, were not more intermixed.—John Milton, Areopagitica, 1644

In June of 2004, I became convinced of the need for a study guide to accompany what is arguably the single most important book for the student of Austrian economics and libertarian policy analysis. Murray Rothbard’s Man, Economy, and State is simply the most comprehensive exposition of Austrian economics that exists. Although Mises’s Human Action is itself a self-contained, beautiful work of sheer brilliance, it is nonetheless the case that, in his subsequent work, Rothbard teaches economics more clearly. Power and Market builds on the analysis of Man, Economy, and State to provide an exhaustive classification and critique of government intervention in all of its various forms. Originally intended as a single volume, Man, Economy, and State and Power and Market were published separately due to (alleged) space constraints and, no doubt, the radical positions contained in the latter. The Mises Institute’s lovely Scholar’s Edition has reunited these two works as Rothbard meant them to be. However, I shall omit further discussion of the publication background (inasmuch as a historical sketch is provided in Joseph Stromberg’s Introduction to the scholar’s edition) and explain the format of this study guide.
