The Mises Review is the quarterly review of literature in the social sciences, published since 1995. David Gordon is the critic and editor, and he covers new books in economics, politics, philosophy, and law.

"As a reviewer, David Gordon understands his first job: tell what the book is about. After that, no absurdity escapes his withering wit."

– Donald Livingston, Emory University
