I'm still going through it, but on slide 16, you have Turgot as being born and dying before Christ. Haha. Everything else is great so far.

LOL, with the lifespan I gave him he'd have been rough contemporaries with Hammurabi.  Talk about pre-Austrian!

fakename:

when the history of the libertarian renaissance is written, I will be able to say that I knew it's petrarch.

I guess that means you liked it?  Smile

Thanks for the overwhelmingly generous compliment!

I finally found time to finish issue #5.  (Note: read the Adam Smith part with the thickest Scottish accent you can imagine to get the full effect.)

It's up on Facebook now too.

I almost died when I saw Paul Krugman. WE'RE SCIENTISTS! You should add a "LOL" before that comment, in my opinion.

I think you should do something with Say's law. It would give you another opportunity to include Keynes, which is always good.

Big Smile The Krugman photoshop job BK Marcus did for my Second Coming of Keynes article was perfect for that slide!  The spirit of Keynes from issue 4 is also from that same image.

For my next issue, can anyone direct me to Mises' fullest refutation of cardinal value and "utils"?

Theory of Money and Credit, chapter 2 (ON THE MEASUREMENT OF VALUE), parts 1, 2, and 3 (the immeasurability of subjective use-values, total value, and Money as a price index). There's some stuff in Chapter 7 (THE CONCEPT OF THE VALUE OF MONEY) as well.

Let me know if you want me to edit together the video.

I recommend a terse explanation of ordinal and cardinal values beforehand.

Thank you, Daniel, for editing the Human Action Comics videos #1 and #2.

For issue #3, I've updated the slides and narrated the head-to-head match between Smith and Menger and uploaded it to YouTube.  If you could work your resolution-improving magic on that one too, that would be awesome.  Thanks SO much.

I've added 15 new slides on economic growth to Issue #4 (slides 35-50), and renamed it "Capital and Economic Growth".  Please let me know if it gets across the concepts well.  Thanks!

I've loved all the comics and the addition is great. It makes the point you are making much more clear. Thanks much for putting these all together. I hope to use them to get some family and friends interested in economics.

Or, as Krugman's hero Keynes would have said, "BARBAROUS RELIC".  Stick out tongue
