Unexpected lives Or Sex & Violence Sells Economics

From The early days of American Austrian economics by Tyler Cowen. Heh.
When Hayek asked Bartley to do the biography he said: “There are only three things that sell books namely sex, money and violence. As to sex, well, I left my first wife for my first girlfriend. As to money, well, I never had any. And as to violence, let me tell you how I came to bayonet a man to death in World War One!”
