Potpourri

==> Tom Woods has had a bunch of interesting episodes lately at his podcast. You know, the one that has 50% fewer hosts and is 50% as cool. ==> Second only to his posts that transformed my understanding of government debt burdens, this is my favorite work by Nick Rowe. ==> Cliff Asness is really […]

Potpourri

==> This is an unexpectedly good episode of the Tom Woods Show. He debates Matt Zwolinski on a basic income guarantee. I went into it thinking it would be like debating whether Kevin Spacey was a better Lex Luthor than Gene Hackman, but actually it was very entertaining. ==> An Austrian tries to assert her […]

Au contraire, I dug up Jared Bernstein going nuts because right-wingers were ignoring “the arithmetic” […]

Tom Woods and I Discuss Robert Reich

Potpourri

==> Richard Ebeling doesn’t like trigger words. ==> Bryan Caplan catches an amazing piece on Paul Ehrlich. ==> Scott Sumner often seems incapable of understanding where his critics are coming from. In this post, for example, Sumner deals with Austan Goolsbee, who had posited a situation where real GDP growth is flat (because of a […]
