There’s Really Been a Lot of Real Shocks to the Economy

The venerable von Pepe sends me a good post by Larry White, who isn’t as sure as many of his colleagues that the world economy today is primarily troubled by inadequate demand: Scott Sumner told us in September 2009 that “the real problem was nominal,” that is, the recession and its high unemployment were primarily […]

Tom Woods Keeps Krugman’s Feet to the Fire

Tom Woods has posted another video, this one on Krugman’s rhetorical questions about Austrians and MMMF: A few points: ==> I totally forgot to be snarky about this, but Tom’s video reminded me: I thought Krugman said he wouldn’t debate me, because he didn’t want to give a platform to Austrian views? So now we […]

Porcfest 2012: The Roast of Chris “Ron Paul’s Freaking Giant” Lawless

Oh boy I am naughty. It’s Friday afternoon, almost quitting time (depending on which time zone you’re in), and you’ve got just that one last project to wrap up so you can enjoy your weekend. But, it’s been a while since that last cup of coffee and you’re dragging… In this context, I drop the […]

Potpourri

==> Here’s my American Conservative article from a week or two ago, talking about the myth of British austerity. If I do say so myself, my second chart (the third in the article) is a really good rebuttal to Krugman on this topic. I think it deals well with the “they have austerity relative to […]

Potpourri

==> David Gordon is teaching Part I (the “philosophy part”) of Human Action starting tomorrow at Mises Academy. ==> I was skeptical when Tom Woods told me he posted another video responding to Max Keiser, but after watching this I think its humor justifies giving the guy another 6 minutes of our attention. ==> Oh, […]

But Wouldn’t Warlords Take Over?

I stumbled across this on YouTube. Walter Block says that this essay was one of the best intros to free-market anarchism he’s read (or something like that). And hey–he’s read a lot! Anyway, the State is lucky I don’t have this guy’s voice:
