About my Special Projects

Introduction

I am working on several “Special Projects” which have been of particular interest to me over the course of my career. These are:

1. The Comte and Dunoyer Project, concerning the lives and work of the French journalists, lawyers, and political economists Charles Comte (1782-1837) and Charles Dunoyer (1786-1862), who were active during the Napoleonic, Restoration, and July Monarchy periods in France
2. The Bastiat Project, concerning the life and work of the French political economist and politician Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850)
3. The Molinari Project, concerning the life and work of the Belgian/French political economist Gustave de Molinari (1819-1912)
4. The Leveller Project, concerning the lives and work of several key figures, such as John Lilburne (1615-1657), Richard Overton (1599-1664), and William Walwyn (1600-1680), who were part of the Leveller movement in the 1640s in England during the Civil Wars and Revolution
5. The Monarchomach Project, concerning a disparate group of opponents of unchecked monarchical power during the late 16th century

I collect, edit, and put online their individual works, I create anthologies of their writings, and translate some of their key texts. I also have written several papers on their lives and works.
