With Fans Like These…

Google Alerts brought the following to my attention: When I saw Bob Murphy’s The Politically Incorrect Guide ™ to capitalism almost exactly two years ago, I said that it was a pity that the book would be as bad as it is. Ironclad proof of how bad I was just then that a new book by […]

Man at Work

Sorry kids, I’ve got a guy revamping the web site. (I will reveal his identity and promote his stuff etc. once everything is nailed down.) It’s a long story, but I was unable to post for a few days. Basically I had to switch my Blogger account to a different blogspot URL in order to […]

Murphy Double Play

* At MasterResource I tut-tut Robert Frank’s NYT column on climate change that scared the children.

I’m reading his stuff thinking, “Yep, yep, this guy Murphy makes a lot of sense.” I don’t recall “sniff”ing and […]

Trade Deficits and Fiat Currencies

Wow, you know I must be super busy if I forgot to blog my Mises Daily on Monday. It was “Trade Deficits and Fiat Currencies,” showing the connection between the two. I both praise and critique the author of The Creature From Jekyll Island. This morning I gave my talk at the Denver Petroleum Club. […]
