Great to see a Hayek book at the top of Amazon today! Woo hoo! That's truly great news.<p>Reading the comments here, looks like Glenn Beck recommended it? Hey, I'll take folks reading Hayek for any reason. An informed citizenry and all of that.<p>I don't have a popular cable show, but if I did, I'd do a tour of all the great economists. Talk about raising the discussion level. No matter what their politics, I'll never argue with a talking head that tells his followers to go read some well-known and authoritative work. There's really no downside here.
"Usually ships in 1 to 3 months." America holds its breath, while somewhere trees are falling for the sake of the free market. Amazon need to conspire with Beck et al. to get these books in stock before the show airs. What would be really impressive would be to see <i>Das Kapital</i> getting to #1 after a Maddow feature.
At least Glenn Beck is attempting to educate himself/his audience.<p>Although, he'd probably do better to show everyone this (it's educational, hilarious and very well done): <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0nERTFo-Sk" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0nERTFo-Sk</a>
Aaah - I was assuming this was similar to the Ayn Rand's books coming back into vogue during recessions, but I guess Glenn Beck works like a recession... Ron Paul probably increased sales of Rand, Hayek, Von Mises, etc. as well.<p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/books/04/27/ayn.rand.atlas.shrugged/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/books/04/27/ayn.rand.atlas.s...</a>
