F.A. may be #1, but Salma ain’t bad either;)

Waiting for the Salma Hayek pics! ;-)

Hayek’s writings are very educational, and depressing when you realize he is warning us of present day politics.

I did a paper on Hayek in one of my Econ classes in college! Great thinker- when everyone else was praising Mussolini and other fascists, he was preaching about the virtues of a free markets and a robust Capitalist system. The Austrian perspective! Glad to see a Hayek revival during these dark times of a Keynesian hangover!

Watched Beck yesterday, and checked Amazon's ratings for the book---#1, lol!
The executives at Amazon are Marxists a$$holes...it must gall them to see the power Beck has.
But I dislike how that gives Amazons' jerks business.

I thought Milton Friedman’s “History of Money” and “Free to Choose” a lot easier to read.

Don't forget Ludwig von Mises, another great Austrian! He predicted in his book Socialism, which he wrote in the 1930s I think, that the Soviet Union would fail and gave the technical economic reasons why. He totally nailed it, called it ball and pocket.

I watched the show this afternoon and bought the book on Audible right after.

I was given the book in the 70s and all I had to read was the title, a couple of pages. So obvious like the jitterbug it plum evaded me.
Glad to hear it’s being read.

Very encouraging. A top-shelf effort by F.A.H.
Von Mises' Bureaucracy is equally great -- an under-appreciated (short) classic.
