MOLESKINE ® LITERARIO Anarchy in the GOP | Cover Story Editor's note: One change was made to this story to remove the name of limited-government activist Sean Paige, who's not a member of any political party, from a short list of "established Republicans." Another was made to clarify that not all liberty groups meet at activists' homes. Sarah Anderson is peculiar. For one thing, she's a Republican. At 22, that makes her a statistical anomaly, even in El Paso County. She spent her formative years reading a series of books that explain the free-market theory to teens. Another thing: Anderson is a born campaigner. This past February, at the meeting of the county GOP's central committee, she was elected party secretary in a decisive victory over party stalwart Holly Williams, wife of County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams. "Let's not just say we want youth in the party," she told the crowd. Feisty, ambitious, intelligent and pretty, Anderson's exactly the kind of person that the aging GOP is eager to draw into the fold. Nothing's happened yet.

VerdHugos Podcast The Chicago School versus the Austrian School - Robert P. Murphy People often ask me, "How are the Austrians different from the Chicago School economists? Aren't you all free-market guys who oppose big-government Keynesians?" In the present article I'll outline some of the main differences. Although it's true that Austrians agree with Chicago economists on many policy issues, nevertheless their approach to economic science can be quite different. It's important to occasionally explain these differences, if only to rebut the common complaint that Austrian economics is simply a religion serving to justify libertarian policy conclusions. Before jumping in, let me give a few obvious disclaimers: I do not speak for all Austrian economists, and in this article I will be discussing modern Austrian followers in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard. Methodology The Austrians are oddballs among professional economists for their focus on methodological issues in the first place. This is not mere philosophical grandstanding. Booms and Busts

As you can imagine, a push system distributes messages more efficiently than a pull system, but it also makes a lot of demands on the server doing the pushing. The Diaspora guys are therefore trying out a new protocol being developed by Google engineers for dispersing public posts, which don't need to be encrypted and will likely be sent to more people than private posts. The protocol, named PubSubHubbub, calls for an intermediary server, or hub, and assigns it the task of handing out updates from a publishing server to its subscribers. Using a cloud-based hub, such as the one Google runs, lets you host data on your own small, cheap server while the hub takes care of publishing your updates for you. Last 15 September, as planned, the guys made their code public. And it just might look an awful lot like Google.
