Guido Fawkes Quote of the Day
You know, it can be lonely being an Austrian in Britain. However, I do believe that the genius of Ludwig von Mises is finally beginning to reach even the social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, 'Porcupines', Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, and other assorted kritarchists, who form what you might call the 'libertarian' contingent of Great Britain. As I think I personally know all seven fully-fledged and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists, only two of whom are definitely Austrians (including myself, and we'll probably argue about who the other one is), it was with a very pleasant shock today that I read Guido Fawkes' quote of the day:
Well met, sir.
Well met, sir.

When I have a few drinks anarcho-capitalism makes sense.
Why d'you think there's only seven of us? :-)
If you want it to make sense when you're fully sober, then try reading the following book:
=> "Man, Economy, and State", by Murray N. Rothbard
The full online PDF of the book is here:

Fear not Jack. Who now believes in the Phillips curve?
And more importantly what great economist debunked it?
None other than the Wilson, Callaghan Healey Team, of course.
So, we might have a debt to pay the great economist Gordon Clown for his single handed debunking of all of John Maynard Keynes theories.
Damned costly exercise.
"only two of whom are definitely Austrians"
Hey, make that three. Oh wait, I don't live there any more. As you were.
Well done for getting out in time! ;-)
