The first logical economic commentary on current conditions I've heard outside of the Austrian school:

Does anyone know more about this guy?  I read on his wikipedia page that he's a close associate of George Soro, so I'm still a little wary.

He is an Austrian. Rockwell interviewed him the other day.

If I ever became an economist, I would break this trend by wearng a top hat, a diner jacket, & a monocle regularly in public.  Cool

A partner of Soros is an Austrian...?

Yep. The interview is worth listening to. As for Soros, he is an execrable pig, but I'm pretty sure he knows what is real economics when it comes to lining his own pockets.

Should have known he was an austrian, but was too excited by the prospect of someone in the mainstream pulling their head out of their ass.

His personal site http://www.jimrogers.com seems a bit outdated though.
