    The Conspiracy to Keep You Poor and Stupid ^ | February 3, 2004 | Paul Craig Roberts via Donald Luskin
    TAXATION AND SLAVERY: ROBERTS RESPONDS TO THE CRITICS    The following was sent to me by Paul Craig Roberts, in response to criticism of his column comparing the income tax to slavery -- which I myself defended last week. From time to time people write to me asking how they can become columnists. I tell them that they do not want to become columnists. Read on. Many years ago when I was offered an appointment at the University of Rochester, I remember wide-ranging discussions of economic issues with the many distinguished economists who were at Rochester at that time. One...
  • Nobel Prize Rumor du Jour (Brad DeLong made the Rats think Krugman would win. He didn't. BWA-HAA!)

    October 08, 2003 Nobel Prize Rumor du Jour The rumor is that it is going to be Jagdish Bhagwati and Paul Krugman for work on international trade. Nope. Clive Granger and Robert Engle. Reuters reports: "U.S. economist Robert Engle and Britain's Clive Granger have won the 2003 Nobel economics prize for inventing models used to evaluate investment risk and study the relations between simultaneous economic phenomena. 'This year's Laureates devised new statistical methods for dealing with two key properties of many economic time series: time-varying volatility and non-stationarity,' the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said on Wednesday. The two...

    Reading Robert Fisk April 06, 2003 I've been reading the Iraq War reports of Robert Fisk. There's a certain loonyness there: "So it's a "truly remarkable achievement"... General Tommy Franks says so... the British still have not "liberated" Basra... the Iraqis... launch a scud missile from the Fao peninsula... the Americans... lose an Apache helicopter to the gun of an Iraqi peasant farmer... spend four days trying to cross the river... confronted by their first suicide bomber.... Even the "siege of Baghdad" -- a city which is 30 miles wide and might need a quarter of a million men to...

    Toogood Reports [Thursday, April 3, 2003; 12:01 a.m. EST]URL: http://ToogoodReports.com/ Early last June or so, I discovered what Bill Quick, himself a major "blogger" who maintains the Daily Pundit, had dubbed "the blogosphere." It was an article in the New York Times, of all places, that informed me about this new cyber-system. What the hey, I'm not embarrassed (well, not overly so) to confess to finding something in the Times. "Blog" is a contraction of "web log." Since the craze began in response to 911, using newly invented technology which permitted one to turn one's computer screen into a cyber-ticker...
