Introduction<\/h2>\n\n
I am working on several “Special Projects” which have been of particular interest to me over the course of my career. These are:<\/p>\n\n
- \n\n
- The Comte and Dunoyer Project<\/a>, 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<\/li>\n\n
- The Bastiat Project<\/a>, concerning the life and work of the French political economist and politician Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bastiat (1801-1850)<\/li>\n\n
- The Molinari Project<\/a>, concerning the life and work of the Belgian\/French political economist Gustave de Molinari (1819-1912)<\/li>\n\n
- The Leveller Project<\/a>, 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<\/li>\n\n
- The Monarchomach Project<\/a>, concerning a disparate group of opponents of unchecked monarchical power during the late 16th century<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n
I collect, edit, and put online their individual works, I create anthologies<\/a> of their writings, and translate<\/a> some of their key texts. I also have written several papers<\/a> on their lives and works.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
