Kress seminar participants,  
  
Our next seminar is Thursday, 7 Nov, 7:40-10 pm, in Littauer M16 on the 
Harvard University campus.  We feature one paper and two discussants: 
 
 
    Richard Ebeling (Hillsdale C) 
        Expectations and Expectations Formation in Ludwig von Mises's  
        Theory of the Market Process 
 
    Discussants: 
        Mark Tomass (Babson C) 
        Roger Koppl (Fairleigh-Dickinson U) 
 
 
RICHARD EBELING is now in Russia and is coming back to the states the day  
before he travels on to Boston (no paper in advance).  He has an 
interesting intrepretation of the Austrian school view of expectations.  
He is extremely critical of rational expectations and the like and offers 
an opposing point of view.   
    While many students of Austrian economics read early Mises and Hayek, 
Ebeling puts his finger on several later works by Mises, such as __Theory 
and History__ because it represents an advance over the Verstehen school 
["understanding"--PW] ideas of the 1920 and also the typological thinking 
of Max Weber and others.  How these insights come to be filtered and 
altered in Mises's thinking is a genuinely novel and interesting subject 
for a lecture.   
    For those who do not know Richard Ebeling or his work, what better way 
than over good food and conversation?

Dinner  
    Anyone interested in dinner and conversation before the seminar is 
    invited to gather at the Singha House Thai restaurant (1105 Mass. Ave) 
    at 6:00.  The food is great, matched only by the company.  The Singha 
    House is prepared to handle late additions to a party (to about 6:30 
    for dinner or 7:00 for appetizer or drink, given our time constraint). 
     
  
I hope to see you Thursday,
