February 12, 2008Can Government Be Limited?
A Deep Thinker Anthony de Jasay in Cato Unbound: “Government, Bound or Unbound?” Jasay is one of the most interesting and challenging writers active today. His books are always an adventure. He has a column at EconLib.org (“Your Dog Owns Your House” is a good sample of his insight) and is the author of many books, my favorites among them Social Contract, Free Ride and Choice, Contract, and Consent: A Restatement of Liberalism. My essay “No Exit: Framing the Problem of Justice” was published in the new festschrift for Tony, Ordered Anarchy: Jasay and His Surroundings, ed. by Hartmut Kliemt and Hardy Bouillon (London: Ashgate, 2008).

You tease me by posting so often on one of my favourite thinkers! Thanks for the heads up regarding the new article. I am going to purchase the festschrift for Mr. de Jasay when I can afford it. See also Jan's new festschrift also by Ashgate. It's very good.

His work deserves to be known and consider more widely by economists, political scientists and other specialists. Posted by: Bogdan at February 13, 2008 3:30 PMI am likewise impressed, but I found the link to "Your Dog Owns Your House" to go to the opening chapters of "The State" instead. Here's the correct link (also entered under my name): http://www.econlib.org/library/Columns/Jasaydog.html Oops!! Thanks for the correction. I've fixed it. Posted by: Tom G.
