Nordhaus vs. IPCC
I’m going to write more on this in the coming weeks, but for now, let me point you to my reaction at IER to William Nordhaus winning the Nobel, on the same day the IPCC’s latest came out. An excerpt: Now, any normal citizen reading the above two samples from our major media—who ostensibly are all […]

I am not sure how backlogged I am, so I’ll err on the side of posting some repeats: ==> Contra Krugman episodes 155, 156, 157, and 158. ==> Lara-Murphy Show episode 63 (“Why Learn Austrian Economics?”). ==> And my latest at mises.org: A collection of Krugman Kontradictions!

My latest at Mises.org. It’s too long to summarize, except don’t miss my analogy: [S]uppose a father sees his 25-year-old son lounging on the couch watching reruns. The father exclaims, “Jimmy, this has got to stop! All through your teenage years you kept getting raises and better jobs. But after your messy breakup last year, […]
