I have authored four books: Entrepreneurship and Evolutionary Economics (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming) that is an overview and elaboration on what entrepreneurship means in the market process; How to Think about the Economy: A Primer (Mises Institute, 2022) that is an introduction to economic reasoning and the study of the economy with a focus on economic literacy; The Seen, the Unseen, and the Unrealized: How Regulations Affect Our Everyday Lives (Lexington, 2016) that provides the reader with an introduction to economic reasoning to understand the market and regulation; and The Problem of Production: A New Theory of the Firm (Routledge, 2015) on the economic theory of organization and the firm.
I also edited A Modern Guide to Austrian Economics (Edward Elgar, 2022) and co-edited The Next Generation of Austrian Economics: Essays in Honor of Joseph T. Salerno (Mises Institute, 2015) with David Howden.

How to Think about the Economy: A Primer (Mises Institute, 2022). This little book was written to accomplish something big: economic literacy. It is intentionally kept very short to be inviting rather than intimidating, as economics books typically are. You will gain an understanding of how the economy works in practically no time. Hopefully, this book will make you excited about what economics has to offer, because economic literacy is mind-opening. Sound economic reasnoning is an enormously powerful tool for understanding both the economy and society. Economic literacy uncovers what is going on under the surface and why things work out as they do. There is no magic to it. In fact, economic literacy is necessary to properly understand the world we live in.

The Seen, the Unseen, and the Unrealized: How Regulations Affect Our Everyday Lives. (Lexington, 2016) This book illuminates the effects of regulations on people’s everyday lives by working through the ripple effects of changes. Thus, the book provides a fundamental understanding of the economy as an organism rather than a machine and enlightens the reader by offering a model for understanding the economy and market. Regulations, which are restrictions placed on the working of the economy, have consequences—this book emphasizes the real effects of regulation and market change on individual actors, thereby stressing how the economy works to provide an individual with the options that exist in choice situations.

The Problem of Production: A New Theory of the Firm. (Routledge, 2016.) The theory of the firm has been fertile ground for economists. Bylund proposes a new theory, rooted in Austrian economics, which examines the firm as a part of the market, and not as a free-standing entity. In this integrated view, a theory is offered which incorporates entrepreneurship, production, market process and economic development.
