  • Re: Where/How to buy and sell silver

    Though I've only dabbled in it myself I've read quite a bit about buying what they call "junk silver", which is old coins that have no collectible value but have a high silver content (pre-1960s dimes, etc.). This is convenient because you can find them locally in coin shops and shows or you can buy them in bulk on eBay and still come

  • Re: What would you do?

    I don't accept your premise that states massively undermine markets. It is not necessarily true that markets will be more prevalent in the absence of a state, as there is no guarantee that property rights would be enforced to the extent that they are now. The only function the state has in relation to the market is to interfere/undermine/confuse

  • Re: Civilization 5

    I read an interview with the designers of the new game, Deux Ex: Human Revolution, that confirmed that you will be able to go through the entire game without killing anyone, which is a big plus for me because I love gaming but I'm pretty terrible at combat.

  • Re: What would you do?

    I was asking why markets would develop to begin with. I was not assuming that there was a preexisting marketplace. I'm curious if you know what defines a market? Because in a world with no marketplace there is no exchange taking place, you are limited to growing your own food, getting your own water, making any goods you would want, and life would

  • Re: (Only hours left!) Crowd-funding the follow-up to George Ought to Help

    I've been meaning to donate ever since I heard about the campaign but I kept forgetting, when I finally remembered to check last night there was only 50 hours left so it's a good thing your video had been on my mind. Quick question, IndieGoGo is a different format from ThePoint, right? As in, even if you don't reach your total goal you'll

  • Re: Civilization 5

    I'm a big fan of Civ IV, although the political options are pretty much a joke and definitely do not hold up to Austrian analysis, it's still a fun and addictive game. The critiques of the some of the game options that I saw on the forums here were great, love the application of AE to games and pop culture. I got Civ V as a gift but have yet

  • Re: Freedom Images...

    Thanks for the clarification! I always get it mixed up, even though I've got the book on my harddrive. I actually hadn't seen the video to it, that's awesome! I was only considering coloring it in page by page in my spare time, probably just uploading them to my flickr page or a blog possibly. Who knows if I'll have time to complete

  • Re: Freedom Images...

    I'm thinking about coloring in the 'How An Economy Grows and Why It Crashes' comic by Peter & Andrew Schiff, here's my test of the first page and a little meme image I made with it. :)

  • Re: What kind of music do Austrians listen to?

    Some of my favorite artists: Interpol, The Presets, David Fonseca, Tegan and Sara, Modest Mouse, Scissor Sisters, MuteMath, Zoot Woman, Peter Gabriel, Radiohead, plus dozens more. I'm a music addict and I get a couple new albums every month, but I'm still quite picky about what I like. New additions to my collection: Home Video, Phantom Planet

  • Re: How should I respond?

    I joined the forum since it looked interesting anyway (and coincidentally I'm an INTJ) so I'm here for backup, Arcanist. I hope you don't give up, I think we can pin them with the forgotten man and their faulty tariff theories. Here's what I posted: Her: Did you miss the part about how the "cheap products" are foreign products
