I did use some of those, but not all. Furthermore, I include many not on there.

Reading the abstract of this paper, I'm highly looking forward to reading it:

http://mises.org/journals/scholar/Murphy6.pdf

The conventional argument for government provision of defense is that military

expenditures exhibit large positive externalities. As the Coase Theorem demonstrates, in

a world of zero transactions costs, individuals could sign binding contracts and achieve

an efficient level of defense expenditures without coercion. The present paper shows that

the institutions of insurance and call options could allow private markets in the real world

to approximate the zero transactions cost outcome.

It is back, but unfortunately none of the old blog is available. I'm horrible at backing up my databases, although I suppose I should do it more often.

And just for good measure, they're all collected in the Ultimate Beginner meta-thread

:EDIT:

Jonathan...economicthought is back?...does this mean all those broken links to your old blog posts will work again??

While I apologize for another link to my blog, I think people might find this interesting: Greenhouse Externalities. Its a brief explanation of externality logic and why AGW doesn't call for what its proponents have been asking for in terms of redistributive justice.
