Developing Story: Leading Market Monetarist Rebukes Christian

Recently Scott Sumner focused his attention on 1946 (here and here), which (he claimed) was quite embarrassing for Keynesians. This is the opening of his second post, which gives a flavor of his analysis: Over at Econlog I did a post discussing the austerity of 1946. The Federal deficit swung from over 20% of GDP […]

Happy Birthday Mises

My short tribute, focusing on the economics of war.

Never Bet on Black

My Freedom Fest debate with Conrad Black, on whether FDR is a champion of liberty. I did not handle my time well; I really need to get something besides my iPhone (where the screen disappears when it’s idle). But, in watching this video, I think I at least got my point across.

To avoid confusion, I’m not going to use indenting etc. The italicized block quote below is from Cass Sunstein, and then the rest is my reaction. […]

Three of My Talks From Mises U

Hmm I realized I don’t always post these, since a lot of it is repeated from previous years. However, you should watch my opening jokes for the first one below, because some of them are new. Also, I think I did the second talk (featured below) a bit differently from how I normally do. Finally, […]
