It’s On: Murphy-Sumner Debate Begins in January 2013

Holy cow, I totally forgot to announce the news: I proposed to Scott Sumner that instead of a live video debate, instead we have a 3-part exchange. Each month, I will write a 2000 – 2500 word blog post challenging his views on NGDP targeting, to which he will respond with whatever length he desires. […]

Quotable Quote on Debt Burdens

It really clicked for me when I summarized my Freeman article this way: If an imperialist government paid for popular spending programs by levying a tax not on its own citizens but on a conquered land, the scheme would of course be a gigantic theft working across space and through the currency markets.

Debt Burden: Old Murphy vs. Young Murphy

Just to warn you, kids, there are at least another 3 posts in me on this topic. But it’s all new stuff. It’s kind of like every time they came out with a new Matrix: It wasn’t nearly as exciting as the first one you viewed, but you had to keep watching to the bitter […]

Very ignorant. If there were more drilling on govt land, there’d be less on […]

Potpourri

I Am Taking Over YouTube

I’m trying to clear out my browser tabs. Here are some backlogged YouTube appearances: ==> My interview with Redmond W. of Mises Canada, right after the QE3 announcement. ==> “Messengers for Liberty” episode 2 and episode 3. (I don’t turn to the Dark Side in Episode III, sorry to spoil it.) ==> My interview with […]
