The libertarian historian Jeffrey Rogers Hummel, author of the excellent Civil War book Emancipating Slaves, Enslaving Free Men, has posted two book-manuscripts-in-progress at ssrn.com. "I wasn't sure when I was going to be able to revise them up to my standards for publication," he says. "So I decided to make them available as is, with all their flaws, and revise them as time permits." You can download War is the Health of the State: The Impact of Military Defense on the History of the United States here, and you can download Deadweight Loss and the American Civil War: The Political Economy of Slavery, Secession, and Emancipation here.
