Hello all

god, we are getting capitalist spam, bummer!

"The ideas and arguments
of immortal economists like Adam Smith, Ludwig
von Mises1, F.A. Hayek, Milton Friedman, and
Murray Rothbard provide structure and authority
for many of the author’s views."

immortal? Most of them are dead. And Rothbard 
dismissed Smith as not being a free marketeer,
ironically enough. I would agree. Smith had a
much better grasp of reality than the others on
this list.

And "authority" says it all -- must mean "parrot
self-serving dogma"

Iain
