Murphy rocks. always funny, never dry. He does tend to ramble sometimes, but i like it. reminds me of a real conversation rather than a lecture.

I first started studying Austrian economics when I was in my mid 20's.

Great talk--I really like Dr. Murphy and I'm all on board with the Austrian view but.... Not sure Hoover staying on the gold standard was a good move. The massive deflation (not the gentle nice kind advocated by Austrians) was caused by a huge contraction of the money supply due to other central banks (France in particular) breaking the rules of the gold standard and hoarding gold. Burning money is just as bad as printing money.

You don't even know what a neo-con is. An Austrian Economist has nothing to do with them.

Sorry, China tried the Communist ideal and perpetrated one of the great human rights catastrophes in modern history. They are slowly evolving into a capitalist economy more out of necessity than anything else.I lived in Cheng Du for 3 years, the government is still horribly repressive, but the people are slowly becoming aware of the rest of the world. The Chinese possess a truly amazing work ethic, probably because of all of the decades of having no choice.

Neo-con? Ya, right.

Q: What do Libertarians and Communists have in common? A: They both believe the fact that they represent .01% of the population is irrelevant.
