Two Visions

==> On the one hand, you can listen to Danny Glover and write-in Paul Krugman for Treasury Secretary. ==> On the other hand, you can sign up for Joe Salerno’s 6-week Mises Academy class on Austrian macroeconomics.

Potpourri

==> I want to call your attention to a major UPDATE I made to my response to DeLong/Krugman, inspired by Nick Rowe’s thoughts on macroeconomic disputes. ==> Justin Merrill makes some good points about Cantillon Effects. One thing I had meant to mention myself: The people objecting to the “simplistic” Austrian critiques love to say, […]

Learning From Brad DeLong and Paul Krugman

[UPDATE below.] Rather than have a long series of posts discussing the fallout from my (price) inflation bet with David R. Henderson, I decided to do one comprehensive reply to Brad DeLong and Paul Krugman. I had toyed with not even responding, but two things ruled that out: (1) This isn’t a case of two […]

I happen to have a large amount of Krugman’s writings in my mind, and it causes me physical pain when I read his blog and see […]

(Remember, Brad DeLong had to […]

Stephen Williamson Doesn’t Think He’s in a Cult

This made me chuckle. Here’s the opening portion of a blog post by Stephen Williamson: I thought I would offer some light entertainment today.
