The Structure of Production (3rd Edition)
(NYU Press, 2015)
Since its release in 1990, The Structure of Production has been the underground bible for supply-side economics and Austrian macroeconomics, and an analytical tool to explain asset bubbles, commodity inflation, and financial instability. Now with the adoption of “Gross Output” (based on the Gross Domestic Expenditure statistic introduced in The Structure of Production) by the federal government, Skousen’s “Structure” is more important than ever.
Mark Skousen provides a new introduction that updates his four-stage model with new statistical evidence, applications to textbooks, and historical interpretation. Click here for more details on the updates to The Structure of Production.

The Big Three in Economics: Adam Smith, Karl Marx and John Maynard Keynes
(M.E. Sharpe, 2007)
The Big Three in Economics, a fascinating new book by Dr. Mark Skousen, Ph.D., is based on the latest historical data and”tell-all” biographies, woven into a cunning plot filled with unexpected twists and turns, and reveals the lives and ideas of the three greatest economic thinkers of all time:
- Adam Smith, whose invisible hand concept and vision of rich and poor flourishing together under laissez faire and an unfettered market;
- Karl Marx, whose radical solution to the problem of exploitation of the underpriviledged appealed to workers and intellectuals around the globe; and,
- John Maynard Keynes, whose theoretical approach to remedy a crisis-prone market system through activist government policies seemed a perfect solution to the Great Depression.
