Thanks for the invitation
Thanks for the invitation... but I remember you: I'm a rookie. I find a little bit difficult this Wiki system, and my english is not so good. Anyway, I'll see what I can do.

Reference removal
I removed that book from the references section because it was not used as a reference in the creation of that article. It might be a useful book, and I would be interested in consulting it, however neither of my university libraries have a copy. This either means that the work is not of much import, or more likely it isn't yet widely released. Either way a link to it is of little use to our readers. - SimonP 17:49, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I owe you an apology, because I confused myself with the title, and I used "References" like "Bibliography". In any case, I strongly recommend the two volumes of the Rothbard's History of Economic Thought and I think that both books are very important for the students interested in mercantilism and the next evolutions of the economic thought. And you're right with the second option: the collection it's unavailable ("When these volumes first appeared, they were celebrated in Barron's and by top scholars around the world [...] Right now, however, you can hardly get them. The shortage began years ago, and now they are only intermittantly available in the used market, at prices that keep rising."), but not anymore thanks to the Mises Institute. And I guess that a large number of people can find useful the austrian analysis of mercantilism. And for that reason I've created a new section in the page for both books (Further Readings). --Burke 16:31, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
