Mat,
I do not think that Don Lavoie ever wrote that Lange
should have a statue in a stock exchange. I have read
Rivalry and Central planning carefully and Lavoie
wrote nothing like that there. I read his other book
more quickly, but did not notice any such thing. I
also took Don's class the last time he taught it, and
he had nothing nice to say about Lange or any of the
market socialists. Don had a high opinion of Marx. He
was also quite clear that he thought that Lange and
the other market socialists had no clue about economic
calculation.
I have suggested that there should be a statue to
Lange in the NYSE and the Chicago Board of Trade. The
full quote is-
"As an expression of recognition for this service
statues of Professor Lange ought to occupy honorable
places in the New York Stock exchange and the Chicago
Board of Trade."
This is from a footnote in a paper I have under
review, where I argue that Lange stumbled into
agreeing with Mises. I can send you a copy.
