I swear to you that this is probably more effective than debating your college professors, your classmates, your local politicians, etc. Btw, I think Peter Schiff might be the most famous example.

Good advice from "big" tobacco: Hook 'em while their young.
You are not raising anyone to be austrian economist.
I think there are some steps missing before 1.

scineram:You are not raising anyone to be austrian economist.
If that were true, so what?

Stranger:And then what?
Daniel:Perhaps the world would be a better place.
I don't see any reason it would.
Stranger:I don't see any reason it would.
That's a shame.

The idea that the world is better just because there is a greater quantity of people is a very socialistic concept.
Problem is, at least in the US. Marriage means the state backs up a woman if she wants to control a mans life decisions.
Women aren't bad it's just that power corrupts. Gotta do something about that.

Stranger: The idea that the world is better just because there is a greater quantity of people is a very socialistic concept.
That's not the idea. The idea is that the world is better because there are a greater quantity of people with better ideas.
You are forgetting one vital thing - kids rebel against their parents. Homeschool them all to be Austrian thinkers and they´ll elope when they are 16 to join a Keynesian reading circle :D

You're not weighing out the cost. If Austrians start having families with 10 kids, they don't have the time to organize meetings, community groups, websites, write books, and so on. They can't invest in the capital of the movement.
Plus, historically speaking, evangelism is a much more effective activity.

I think we are talking about two different things. I wasn't supporting the large family idea. I thought you were contesting the idea that having numbers on our side wasn't enough. Misunderstanding, probably my fault.
Even if it was socialist, so what? Oh, and the point is there would more libertarians/an-caps/AEs.

I think Thomas Woods has a child for every book he publishes or publishes a book for every child.
I remember him saying at an author's forum. He was talking to Hoppe and said 'Yea I seem to be having a child for every book I publish' and Hoppe with his german accent said 'Ya you can't keep that going'
'It is difficult to imagine any normal person wishing to meet Marx for a third time.' - Alexander Gray, The Socialist Tradition
Did Murray Rothbard have any children?
Sukrit Sabhlok: Did Murray Rothbard have any children?
Biologically? No
Intellectually? Yes
And honestly, if we are constantly comparing ourselves with Rothbard then we are never going to meet the mark. Comparing yourself to Rothbard runs dangerously close to engaging in the Nirvana fallacy.
Laughing Man:Biologically? No
I thought Murray Rothbard did have one child.
Why does many a man write? Because he does not possess enough character not to write. ---Karl Kraus.
