“Adair-Toteff splendidly meets his ambitious goal, and he does so within the pages of a book that one could comfortably fit into their back pocket. [He] wastes no space, and examines his subjects with razor-sharp focus […]. I believe this volume will not only be of use to those of us working on the Early Austrian School but to contemporary readers as well, since the contextualization can only serve to further enhance our understanding of later Austrian School theories by such luminaries as von Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, and others. To know where we are going, it helps to know where we’ve been.”- Salvatore Taibi, Cosmos + Taxis
