Anatomy of the Fed–Summer Pricing!

Oh boy kids, here it is: Another session of my blockbuster Anatomy of the Fed online course starts at Mises Academy on June 25. And special summer pricing: Only $79 for an 8-week course. If you do the math, that works out to…like, a really inexpensive course. Full details are here. There’s also a screen […]

Mish vs. Murphy

So somebody sent me this article by Mike “Mish” Shedlock, where he takes me out to the woodshed. Here is the relevant portion: Flashback November 23, 2010: Austrian economist Robert Murphy predicts “high inflation” and and writes a post Has Mish Deflated the “Inflationistas”? My response which in retrospect has clearly carried the day was Failure to […]

Potpourri

==> I have a long but very wide-ranging conversation with John Bush on “Rise Up Radio.” I think it starts at the 2:00:00 mark or so. He is going to be one of the Roasters at the upcoming Porcfest extravaganza, and so he and I take some shots at each other at the end, etc. […]

Weissenberger and Murphy Solve the World’s Problems in 46 Minutes

Redmond and I talk about climate models and the euro. Never before have so few pontificated about so much for so long.

Krugman Acquitted of One Count of Perjury, Brought Up on New Charges

OK I want to prove that I am a fair guy, so first let me say that Krugman in this Bloomberg video didn’t deny that the Fed caused the housing bubble. If you start playing the video around 19:35, it’s clear that the interviewer is asking about federal government programs like Fannie Mae and the […]
