It’s All About Me Potpourri
* I am on vacation and am not getting out my Rosetta Stone, but I frankly don’t know what Mish is even talking about in this response. It seems he is using a variation of the legal defense, “My client wasn’t at the murder scene, and if he were he doesn’t own a gun, and if he did he is legally blind and so couldn’t possibly have been the shooter.” Naturally Mish doesn’t explain why we will have about 2.9% CPI inflation in 2009 if his analysis is the correct one.
* I walk through Krugman’s (apparent) goof on international trade and the Keynesian accounting identity.
* I quintuple-down on my inflation bet, this time with David Henderson. If Arnold Kling wants a piece of it, I will have to buy a credit default swap on EconLog.
* I have been waiting since the summer for this: The YouTube of my appearance on a TV show in the Bahamas. Like Obi-Won, I easily fend off anticapitalist attacks from two assailants.
If you want to see the rest go here and scroll down in the “Related Videos” to see Parts 2 etc. of “Dr. Robert Murphy on Platform TV.” Note that I am at my parents’ house and I can’t figure out how to turn on the volume on their computer, so I hope it sounds OK.
