I thought that members here would enjoy these two blog posts, one by Gene Callahan and a response by me, " The Violence of Pre-State Warfare ;" " Violence and the State ." I think you guys will find stuff to disagree with in both posts. I defend anarchism, but not by the usual route.

I'm willing to bet that a large chunk of that money is not from his salary as a professor. I'm sure Block is a full professor and so I'd put his salary in between $100,000 and 110,000. But, even this might be a lot, given the university he teaches at. The average professor makes somewhere between $70,000 and $100,000 (depending on type of

Learning more about Ludwig, and I realized that the ancap notion that all taxation is theft (not disagreeing with it, mind you) is inconsistent with the minarchism of Mises. Two different approaches to morality; Mises was a utilitarian, Rothbard wasn't.

Regarding the first question, I have in mind specifically his criticism of free banking. Actually, when I was giving my lecture in Madrid (Huerta de Soto had spoken a couple of hours before me) on banking regulation someone in the audience asked me on Huerta de Soto's take on free banking, and I literally said that much of his criticism was a strawman

My problem with Huerta de Soto's book is his grasp of opposing theory is limited, and some people consider his history dubious (I prefer not to pass judgment, since I really don't know). I think I'd rather point someone to a book like Man, Economy, and State . Edit: I think "Huerta de Soto" is his entire paternal last name. His

Here is my review of Joseph Stiglitz' The Price of Inequality .

I think that, maybe due to the recession, funding has been short. A year or two ago, even before J. Tucker left for LFB, they were cutting staff. There used to be more editors available for Mises Dailies, although I don't know how staffing has changed since then. But, Daniel Sanchez is responsible for a large swath of work on the website (including
