Last Call for the Keynes/Krugman Class
It starts Wednesday evening. Here is the full infomercial, and here is the registration link.
Read moreDaniel Kuehn Embraces Bimetallism
Over the years, some have suggested that I am overly sensitive to criticism. (Naturally, I don’t talk to those jerks anymore.) Because of this, I want to report on a running dispute Daniel Kuehn and I have had. I believe that Daniel has demonstrated a clearcut double standard with respect to Paul Krugman and me, [...]
Read moreKeynes, Krugman, and the Crisis
The infomercial for my next Mises Academy class is up today. It’s sort of like Christopher Hitchens teaching a class on John Calvin. As usual, the graphics they made for my article are the best part. Look at how Krugman appears to be praying to Keynes. (For those who are serious, let me say that [...]

One of the things that most amused me about the recent MMT flare-up was that to blow me up, they cited the identity of my boss at IER, and then simply quoted from my article. So, since I’m rushed for time this morning, I’ll do the same with Krugman. Those who share my worldview don’t [...]

Yeah, I thought that was pretty sweet too. Anyway, I recently took on Dean Baker after our Congressional showdown. Then in the most recent [...]
Read moreNick Rowe on Forecasting Price Inflation
[2nd UPDATE in text.] [UPDATE below.] Nick Rowe has an intriguing post that pushed me over the edge to mention something that’s been bothering me for a few weeks now. (No, I’m not talking about the rash.) Here’s Rowe: You can’t test whether core inflation is a useful indicator for a central bank to look [...]
Read moreWho Needs Advertising?
I am sure there are nuanced arguments for government intervention in the health care sector. Not that I would endorse them, but I’m sure they exist. However, Krugman approvingly quotes the following today on his blog, and I don’t think it qualifies: A medical technology company is going public to generate the money it needs [...]
