Government Thinks We are Stupid

Posted on January 21, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a fundamental problem with most regulation, is that they require as a precondition, people are stupid. This premise of regulation doesn’t comport with reality. People are smart, self interested, and for the most part … Continue reading →

On the Debt Limit Debate

Posted on January 17, 2013 by john

The Theory of Value Sinkholes

Posted on December 17, 2012 by john

The Weed of Regulation

Posted on December 13, 2012 by john

Credit and Blame

Posted on December 3, 2012 by john
