The Idea of a Private Law Society: The Case of Karl Ludwig von Haller
Libertarianism is logically consistent with almost any attitude toward culture, society, religion, or moral principle. In strict logic, libertarian political doctrine can be severed from all other considerations; logically one can be – and indeed most libertarians in fact are: hedonists, libertines, immoralists, militant enemies of religion in general and Christianity in particular – and still be consistent adherents of libertarian politics....

This rather depends upon who you read and believe about climate change Mr. Jack
Ian Jack has been reading Bill McKibben and some others that he, Mr. Jack, has published on the subject of climate change:The idea of a better future has been replaced by one of a future not as bad as it could be, providing urgent steps are taken; but for more than 20 years (more than 30 years, if the counting starts with Hansen’s address to Congress) the science behind our understanding of climate breakdown was widely dismissed either as an...

Some Covid Links
Lionel Shriver is rightly appalled by what she calls the “Covid pantomime” that demeaned her father’s funeral in New York City. Two slices: What’s especially pertinent to this anecdote? New York City has no general indoor mask mandate currently in force. Nor does it require social distancing. All the above nonsense is voluntary — the great and the good going overboard to seem even greater and gooder. The Grand Neurosis that gripped the Big...

Peter Boettke: «Austrian Economics in the Real World»
"Main line economics is a set of propositions, whereas main stream is a sociological characterization of what's currently fashionable within the economics profession. I want us to be more concerned not with fashion, but with the core propositions of what the science of economics teaches us." - Peter Boettke Peter Boettke (GMU) was interviewed about Austrian economics by Simon Sarevski (AEC). He explained his distinction between main...

Thanks For The Easy Money Fed: LBO Loans Booming Like It’s, Well, 2007!
A mix of government policies have primed the LBO frenzy. Easy money and low interest rates have pushed investors toward the high yields that leveraged loans pay. Meanwhile, company owners are trying to cut deals ahead of anticipated tax overhauls. https://www.wsj.com/articles/corporate-buyout-loans-near-highs-of-2007-11632648602?mod=markets_lead_pos2

Reply to Bob Murphy’s Query
Economist Bob Murphy writes: Dear David, I hope you’re doing well. I was puzzled by your “Angry Bears” post. (If you find your answer might interest EconLog readers, feel free to reprint my email.) I totally understand why certain libertarians would be upset at a busybody telling them to wear a mask on the plane, but it seemed odd to me when–if I recall correctly–you insisted that people attending your lockdown protest put on a mask. Were...

A leader of the crypto revolution is borrowing dollars. Without any awareness of the irony, crypto promoters say that this validates crypto. That a crypto company borrowed dollars supposedly validates crypto. Think about it, take as long as you need. I have been saying for over four years...

Ep. 1902 The Modern State Is a Radical Departure
