Lol, sounds good to me... Try digging out a good bit of thunderf00t, because there is a man who, the minute he stops talking about evolution, was just born to be shot down...

Welcome to the forums.

Also, I recommend to you Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt, For a New Liberty by Murray N. Rothbard, and The Complete works of Frederich Bastiat. The last two can be found on this site, the first (probably the best intro) is on PDF form and, I am sure, will be posted on this page quite swiftly. However, all are great introductions.

I would recommend you not read Economics for Real People, it is an insult to your intelligence for the most part.

No, just no. Radiohogan is a f***ing idiot. I managed through the first two videos. The first one had me with my mouth open for literally half of the time, The second was far more acceptable because he really didn't actually make more assertions, he's a good speaker even if he's an idiot.

I think he's the ultimate example of someone who's very knowledgeable, and somewhat intelligent, but doesn't have an ounce of logic in their veins if you understand me. I think that a good enough response would be this vid. This is much more directed to the first and third video than the second which is actually ok.

I would do a critique of some kind, but it's not worth my time or dime... Just throwing this out there though, the unemployment rate so disastrous which he talks about is common in Europe, the state is still highly in the welfare system and hands out benefits like candy, socialism will suffer the same plagues as state capitalism has, just because the free market hasn't really existed doesn't mean that it cant, the computer that you talk on is a result of the capitalist system, defeating a state so another state can take it over doesn't make you anti-authoritarian, equality isn't something to be strived for with guns, the state is force, and the free market is merely free exchange.
