Perhaps a photo would be apropriate in this article? The Individual 14:44, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
The lectures Nock gave at UVA were later composed into his book "The Theory of Education in the United States". I don't think that they had anything to do with "Our Enemy, The State". Any comments, before I edit the article?
He didn't subscribe to the labor of value did was he? Did he speak of economic value at all? Was he a marginalist? Anarcho-capitalism 04:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
I've read many of Nock's books, and I don't think his economic thinking was sophisticated enough to encompass ideas like the law of decreasing marginal utility (to which I suppose "marginalist" refers). His understanding of economics was rooted in a thorough acquaintance with Western history, from the ancient Greek city states through modern times. See, for instance, his entertaining essay On the Value of Useless Knowledge. Most of Nock's critiques of excessive government intervention are based on history: it didn't work in ancient Greece, it didn't work in Rome, it didn't work when Otto von Bismarck tried to do it, so what makes Mr. Roosevelt any different? (This is a typical Nockian criticism of New Deal policies.) DavidCBryant 15:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
After reviewing this article I think it's factually accurate, but not very much fun to read. One of the greatest attractions of Nock's books is that they're extraordinarily entertaining. Who else could have coined a phrase like "The beds in Portugal are as hard as Pharoah's heart"? Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone would object to adding a section on Nock's literary style, which might include a few quotations like that one. DavidCBryant 16:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
The first few paragraphs of this article are very POV
Franz Oppenheimer is listed as his "anti-collectivist" influence. But Opppenheimer is clearly a collectivist. Does anyone have any references regarding this issue? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Can cekisen sanat ( talk • contribs) 00:25, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
