Competition and Free Trade
Competition and free trade are both concepts which are absolutely central for the understanding of human societies but are also often the subjects of fears and criticisms. It is argued that it is not possible to understand what competition really is without referring to the concept of freedom, and that free trade must be understood as the way to expand the scope of competition. This book uniquely analyses the two concepts as closely interlinked, by approaching them in two parts. The first, ‘Competition’, introduces the reader to the traditional competition model, and explores the dynamics and range of the term in an authoritative way. The second part, ‘Free Trade’ examines the differ...
Tax Tyranny
Tax Tyranny does not aim to give a description of existing tax systems, rather it provides readers with the intellectual instruments which enable them to understand the role of taxation in the workings of economic systems and to evaluate the fairness of taxes.
Competition, Coordination and Diversity
Competition, or the freedom to enter into a market, contributes greatly to the differentiation of human activities and therefore to economic progress. This fascinating book highlights the similarities between human systems at both the micro and macro l
Currency Competition and Monetary Union
Pascal Salin Many of the texts which have been used for the present book were presented as papers at a conference organized in Brussels by Michiel van Notten for the 1 Institutum Europaeum in December 1980on the subject of European Monetary Union and Currency Competition. However, this book is more than the mere proceedings of a conference. It aims at presenting the reader with an homogenous text, not a patchwork of papers, in spite of the large number of contributors. Though it would be absurd to pretend that these contributors -some of whom are prominent thinkers - agree on everything, their dissenting opinions do not go beyond the usual qualifications one may find in a book of which the f...
The International Monetary System and the Theory of Monetary Systems
The international monetary system, and the disparate systems that make it up, are complex and there are many fallacies surrounding the ways in which they work. This book provides a clear and rigorous understanding of these systems and their possible consequences.

Out of a Gray Fog
“As to Europe—keep it in a gray, ominous, evil fog.”—Ayn Rand (1905–1982) thus commented on the role of Europe in her key novel, Atlas Shrugged (1957). The same could be said of the way Europe features in her own biography and in the general perception of her persona. Even though Rand was born in pre-revolutionary Russia, she is nowadays considered anAmerican phenomenon, whose reach ends at the Atlantic shore. This book lifts the "gray fog" cast over her relationship with Europe, retracing the changing perception of the continent in both her fiction and thought. Her apparent lack of success with European readers is often explained by allegedly different reading tastes. However, a look at her publication history and reception shows that many factors played a role why her work found fewer European than US readers. Finally, an archipelago of European readers and admirers emerges which is testament to Rand's impact on European art and politics.
Revenir au capitalisme
Conséquence d’un manque d’éthique des banquiers, la crise ? Effet d’un esprit de lucre insensé incitant à prendre trop de risques pour obtenir davantage de bonus ? Trop simpliste, réplique Pascal Salin. Produit d’une déréglementation excessive ? Faux, corrige-t-il. Plutôt de trop de mauvaises réglementations, de mauvaises politiques économiques et monétaires... et d’une insuffisance de capitalisme. Dès lors, l’État redevient-il la solution, comme le prônent les partisans de l’interventionnisme et de la régulation, de nouveau à la mode ? Rien de moins sûr, souligne-t-il. Le « retour de l’État » risque plutôt de nous enfoncer encore plus...Par un esprit libre, le décryptage de la crise et des hypocrisies auxquelles son interprétation dominante donne lieu. Pascal Salin est professeur émérite à l’université Paris-Dauphine. Il est notamment l’auteur de La Vérité sur la monnaie et de Libéralisme.
