I note first that I am reminded by a pithy comment from someone else that, despite the length of my previous post addressing John Quiggin `s post on libertarian delusion , sometimes less is more. Writes commenter "ABOM", in a comment made elsewhere and linked back in to Quiggin`s thread (done...
John Quiggin , a left-leaning Australian economist and professor at the University of Queensland, has noted my recent post on the penchant for bloggers and readers at the Mises Blog to attack climate science - are " almost universally committed to delusional views on climate science ", as he...
