Jim Rogers: Currency Crisis Coming

I am not going to be able to blog much the next few days, as my “real work” has piled up while I’ve been galloping around the country on the Magical Mises Tour. (Next stop: Greenville, S.C.) For Seattle’s festivities, I’ll post the video when it’s available. There were celebrity appearances by Vijay I-quit-Google-to-campaign-for-Ron-Paul Boyapati, […]

Mario Rizzo: "Clowns to the Left of Me, Jokers to the Right / Here I Am, Stuck in the Middle With Lu"

Mario Rizzo decides once again that macroeconomics is too important to be left to the macroeconomists. He is disappointed with Paul Krugman and John Cochrane as they sum up the great intellectual divide. If I may paraphrase: Krugman says that the “freshwater” economists (at places like Chicago) are idiots for failing to see that market […]

Say What You Will, Charlie Sheen Isn’t Giving Obama a Pass

I know, I know, Charlie Sheen is probably not an expert on structural engineering. I offer the video below (HT2LRC) for two reasons: (1) I think we should acknowledge that Charlie Sheen is at least holding Obama’s feet to the fire as well; let’s hope he ups the ante when Obama continues to ignore him. […]

"How Does That King David Always Manage to Beat Us?"

That’s what I imagine the Philistine commanders asking themselves. Whether he’s a young boy taking out a Goliath of a man with a stone and a slingshot, or whether he’s leading his outnumbered armies to victory after victory, it must have seemed to his enemies that David–father of the wisest man in history, Solomon, and […]

Does Larry Kudlow Read LRC?

Don’t worry kids, I will get over myself soon enough and stop harping on my virgin CNBC appearance. Believe it or not, I actually just watched it in its entirety for the first time a few minutes ago (late Friday night); I was really busy packing etc. after the taping and couldn’t relish it. Anyway, […]

The Infamous Counterfactual

In my exchange with two critics on Kudlow’s show–and by the way, I should acknowledge publicly that Kudlow was extremely nice to me, going out of his way to let me talk on two separate occasions since I’m not used to rumbling with the big boys–I was saying that the conventional wisdom regarding the “rescue” […]

My Investment In Deeply-Out-of-the-Money Callahan Calls Pays Off

No joke, whenever Gene Callahan rants against the people on the front lines in the intellectual battle against the Leviathan State, I get emails to the effect of, “What’s up with your buddy?” “Why do you associate with that guy?” “Should I keep recommending Economics for Real People?” I know not what course others may […]

Quick Thoughts on My Trip To Seattle

So I went to dinner and now I’m back in the hotel room, where it’s 8 pm local time but 10pm physiologically. I could feel myself starting to crash when I was walking back to the hotel, and I knew I wanted to get some work done tonight. What to do? Some people would get […]
