Errata for A Life in Liberty: Liber Amicorum in Honor of Hans-Hermann Hoppe

Below are errata for A Life in Liberty: Liber Amicorum in Honor of Hans-Hermann Hoppe, edited by Jörg Guido Hülsmann & Stephan Kinsella (Houston, Texas: Papinian Press, 2024). Available online here and at Amazon.

Non-Errata

P. 237: Frank van Dun writes: “For obvious reasons, Hoppe’s argumentation ethics was ignored by prominent but non-Austrian utilitarian and libertarian economists (e.g., David Friedman, The Machinery of Freedom, 1973, 1989, and Hidden Order, 1996).” Yet David Friedman did not ignore Hoppe’s AE; he was one of a host of libertarians who criticized it in “Breakthrough or Buncombe”, a symposium in Liberty 2, no. 2 (Nov. 1988): 44–53. Hoppe in fact responded to Friedman et al. in The Economics and Ethics of Private Property, Second Edition (Auburn, AL: Ludwig von Mises Institute, 2006), in “Appendix: Four Critical Replies,” and to other critics later in PFP163 | Hans Hermann Hoppe, “On The Ethics of Argumentation” (PFS 2016).
