Our friends at the Foundation for Economic Education have started a From The Archives blog. The intent is to pull content from their substantial archives (featuring many famous economists such as F.A.

Fortunately FEE’s archives contain a rough draft of this article, which can be found here. I personally found the title very intriguing. Where could Vladimir Lenin (the Bolshevik revolutionary and follower of Karl Marx) and Henry Hazlitt (the classical liberal journalist and follower of Ludwig Von Mises) possibly find common ground?” Read more.
