[quote user="Anarcho-libertarian"]Edit: I had questions but reading Ghraham's debate on the other forum cleared them up. I don't see how anyone could get mad at you for just asking questions like that. I'd like to see other examples of you debating like that because I think you nailed it.[/quote] I saw your questions before you

I'm really enjoying this thread. Thanks for all the links. I agree with Salerno that Mises and Hayek are talking about different things. I continue to think Hoppe's criticism is wrong. [quote user="Wheylous"]Graham, you say Firms (and clubs and families) do "face the very same problems as socialism" sometimes. Indeed, that

[quote user="Wheylous"] dude6935 - how about we do the same for Ron Paul. I'll start by listing bad things he voted for: - [/quote] I wonder what votes Murray Rothbard had in mind when he wrote this in 1982... [quote]The current issue of Lib. Vanguard (October 1982) is a cornucopia of goodies, a veritable blockbuster. There is a thoroughly

[quote user="DD5"]Hans-Hermann Hoppe on why Hayek's knowledge prolem is fallacious and very different from Mises' calculation problem. http://mises.org/journals/rae/pdf/RAE9_1_13.pdf I perosnally have always found the "knowledge prolem" to be quite inferior to Mises' calculation problem when trying to argue why central

[quote user="Minarchist"]Some kind of correction is required, sure, but there are different methods of doing this, with different consequences. Some are clearly better than others. Likewise, if you've been shot in the leg, some treatments are better than others. Penicillin or amputation, take your pick. Consider a classic historical example

[quote user="z1235"]No need to implement anything. Just repeal legal tender laws and capital gains taxes and allow the free market to converge to whatever media of exchange it prefers.[/quote] Would it though? I'm not sure. It might be a "Qwerty-Dvorak" situation. Imagine there was a government law that existed prior to the year

I once asked about this: http://mises.org/community/forums/t/6206.aspx Didn't really get any answers. I also ran the numbers for the UK and the £, as if Rothbard's plan was implemented here, and the numbers were even more extreme. The ratio came out to about £20k per oz of gold - over 20 times what the gold price was at the time

[quote user="Faustus"]I don't know if you were humouring him or not but the idea that cybersyn was ever anything close to a Venus project style RBE is a myth.[/quote] I genuinely hadn't heard of Cybersyn before, so I've learned something from the discussion, at least. I was actually pretty surprised to see it posted, because usually

[quote user="AJ"]Graham, those look like excellent rules to keep to. I think many people imagine that following such guidelines would be so restrictive that they would never make much progress and would be eaten alive by the opposing hoard. In my experience the opposite happens, especially when you can frame disagreements as the miscommunications

Good thread idea. Posting in ‘foreign’ forums can be enjoyable, educational and productive, if you have the right approach. Here is some advice: Be polite, courteous, respectful and humble at all times. Do not say anything that you wouldn’t say to someone in a bar while their friends are listening to your discussion. Do not belittle
