DRUDGE REPORT 2011® Cafe Hayek — where orders emerge The Natural Right To Be Free by Laurence M. Vance by Laurence M. Vance Recently by Laurence M. Vance: Romans 13 and Obeying the Government It Is Dangerous to Be Right When the Government Is Wrong: The Case for Personal Freedom by Andrew P. Three recent books on libertarianism – Jeffrey A. A possible drawback to those titles is that people who have an aversion to what they think is libertarianism might not be inclined to peruse those works. That is because libertarianism is simply the philosophy of freedom: freedom for one to do with his person and property as he chooses as long as in doing so he doesn’t aggress against the person or property of another. Although other books on libertarianism might give non-libertarians a problem with their title, Napolitano’s book might give libertarians a problem because of the author. Don’t think for a minute that I say that because Napolitano merely quotes Rothbard in the book. It Is Dangerous to Be Right When the Government Is Wrong is a passionately written and eminently readable book. Laurence M.

Squealing Versus Killing by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano on Creators Last week, National Intelligence Director Gen. James R. Clapper sent a brief letter to Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, in which he admitted that agents of the National Security Agency (NSA) have been reading innocent Americans' emails and text messages and listening to digital recordings of their telephone conversations that have been stored in NSA computers, without warrants obtained pursuant to the Constitution. That the NSA is doing this is not newsworthy — Edward Snowden has told the world of this during the past 10 months. Since the Snowden revelations first came to light last June, the NSA has steadfastly denied them. The official NSA line on this has been that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court has issued general warrants for huge amounts of metadata only, but not content. Yet, it is this second round of warrants that Clapper's letter revealed did not always exist. Andrew P.
Marginal Revolution Marginal Revolution Going as far back as Andrew Weiss’s survey paper , there are various attempts to argue that the two theories make the same predictions about earnings and education. A randomly elevated individual will earn more money but is this from having learned more or from being pooled with a more productive set of peers? To explore this, let’s pursue the very good question asked by Bryan Caplan : Our story begins with a 22-year-old high school graduate with a B average. He knows an unscrupulous nerd who can hack into Harvard’s central computer and give him a fake diploma, complete with transcript. If he can fake a good interview (a big if, but let’s say), and if certification from recommenders is not important in the chosen sector (another big if), he may get a Harvard-quality job for his first placement. In most jobs they figure out your productivity within two or three months after training, if not sooner. Addendum : There is a less drastic scenario than the one outlined by Bryan.
The economic ignorance gap between liberals and conservatives Good old John Edwards was actually right about one thing. He said there were two Americas. Under Obama, the John Edwards' thesis has come true. The first America is represented by those who work in the government sector (folks who almost always support Obama and vote for Democrats), and who think the private sector is doing just fine. The second America is represented by private sector entrepreneurs, small business owners, and job creators (who almost always support conservative candidates and causes) who know the terrible truth – the economy is in horrible shape. The difference between these two Americas is due to economic ignorance. To save America, we must ignore those in the government sector and start listening to those in the private sector who are living at "ground zero." They are the experts. They have the "boots on the ground." They understand first-hand what Obama’s policies have wrought: complete economic collapse. Don't believe me? They don’t sell anything. So there you have it.
Watts Up With That? Greg Mankiw's Blog Austerity is So Yesterday | the Blog of the Real Estate Center Austerity has been the buzzword in global economics for the past year. It’s just a fancy word for living within your means. Lots of European countries have been talking about how they need to reform and stop running up so much debt every year. It appears to me the concept of austerity in Europe is dying rapidly. Governments that were leading the charge for austerity are crumbling by the week. It appears that the word “austerity” is out. What does all this mean? Look for bond ratings agencies to start downgrading European debt again. Keep in mind that the American taxpayer is a big contributor to the IMF. As the European economy and investment climate continues to deteriorate, investors in Europe will continue to move money out of the Continent and into greener pastures around the globe. First, increased foreign investment in U.S. Second, foreign investors will continue to have a keen interest in U.S. real estate as well.
