When You Think a Lot About Liberty, Your Hair Falls Out

This is Stefan Molyneux, who for some inexplicable reason is a bigger star in the libertarian community than me…so far. In all seriousness, this was a very pleasant interview. At the end we even dabble in religion, and no one is smited (though perhaps smitten).

Tom Woods Gives Friendly Advice to Paul Krugman

Remember kids, it’s KrugmanDebate.com. From there you can go directly to the pledge page. I have plenty of fun ideas to promote this in the coming months, but I can’t do too much if the pledge total peaks. But if it keeps rising, then it’s still a “story” and I can work with it.

Someone Explain To Me…

More on Krugman and Marginal Product, Sans Calculus

By popular request, my new article at The American Conservative makes the same basic point that Karl Smith made back in November, but I think I spelled it out here very clearly to isolate Krugman’s mistake. Contrary to some of you guys in the comments, I don’t think the issue on this one was nominal […]
