“Uh-Oh”
Sometimes governments do their best for the economy, but they end up saying, “oops…” Well, here are 10 economic blunders, from ancient Rome to the Soviet Union.
Interview with a Double
It seems that interviews are all the rage these days, from Lew Rockwell interviewing Ron Paul to Tom Woods being interviewed by a Zombie. Some of us more unfortunate people aren’t exactly being bombarded with requests to be interviewed. Yet we (translate: I) want in on the fun too. So, why can’t I interview myself? After doing this interview, I have a suggestion for all you famous people, you should try this too. I’ve noticed that many times when you’re interviewed, you don’t get much time to answer the questions, and sometimes (translate: most of the time) the interviewer isn’t very…
Learn Austrian Economics on Your Own
Tom Woods has put together a list of resources for anyone interested in delving into Austrian economics. It is similar to a list that Campaign for Liberty has which I used last year. Very helpful, I highly recommend it.
“What Has the Government Done To Our Money?” Part I
I’ve been reading this book by Rothbard (in preparation for Mises University later this month) and like all the books I’ve read by Rothbard so far, it is fantastic. Superb…stunning, these might be more appropriate words. It is taking me a long time to read it because I want to write down everything Rothbard says in my notes. I can’t read a sentence or two without stopping to quote him. I thought I’d share some of those quotes, and my thoughts on the book. He starts out by saying how confusing money is to people. This has led to a…
Want to be Successful? Work for Free
Here’s a great article by Jeffrey Tucker of the Mises Institute. He points out that for young people, they’ll get farther in life if they work for free, at least for 6 months to a year, and gain valuable experience and make contacts that will help them find a “real” job. So many people refuse to work if they think they aren’t getting paid enough, and those who are willing to donate their time are greatly appreciated, especially if you put all your effort into your volunteer work and do a thorough job.

Commentary on MSNBC Nat’l News
Some of my thoughts on the World News tonight on MSNBC: David Petraeus replaced Stan McChrystal today, less than 48 hours after McChrystal criticized the President. What to say? Neat work for the president. He “nipped it in the bud.” Nice. If someone was telling me I was wrong, I’d nip it in the bud too. I can’t say it shows the President has good leadership qualities, it seems that most anyone would have done that. Perhaps it was to revive the sagging war enthusiasm in here in the States. It hasn’t made me feel any better though. Housing numbers were…
