We have completed initial processing of economist Hans Sennholz’s (1922-2007) archive. 22 banker boxes and 44,000 pages of documents. It provides a phenomenal insight into the history of modern economics.
Thanks to Mark (@FunkeBooks) for selling me this piece of real estate lore.

I've bought a handful of rare books from Mark now, highly recommend him!
