I am very pleased to announce that for the next week or so, Steve Horwitz is going to be guest blogging for us here at BHL.  Many of you know Steve already from his blogging at Coordination Problem.  He also writes a truly outstanding weekly column for The Freeman.  If you’ve followed his writing there at all, you’ll know that Steve has a true passion for the kind of issues we’ve been talking about on this blog.  And if you haven’t been following it yet, you should be.  Here, here and here are good places to start.

Steven Horwitz is Charles A. Dana Professor of Economics at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY.  He is the author of two books, Microfoundations and Macroeconomics: An Austrian Perspective (Routledge, 2000) and Monetary Evolution, Free Banking, and Economic Order (Westview, 1992), and he has written extensively on Austrian economics, Hayekian political economy, monetary theory and history, and macroeconomics.  All of Steve’s work is terrific, but I have found his work on the role of the private sector during Hurricane Katrina particularly interesting and useful for my own scholarship: see here and here.  Steve is currently working on the economics and social theory of the family, and he is currently at work on a book on classical liberalism and the family.  I can’t wait to see the finished product, but you can get a sneak peak here and here.

Please join me in welcoming Steve Horwitz to Bleeding Heart Libertarians!
