Anybody see Molyneux always using big words while barely breaking the surface of real economic issues?

Of course...because he's an economic illiterate. Or, at the very least, he knows a lot less than he'd like you to believe (which, of course makes sense, him being a gigantic narcissist.)

He's referring to the likes of Greenspan and Volker who sing lovesongs to Hayek and Rand (although Rand isn't even an economist but that doesn't concern the press...) yet fully advocate at minimum monetarism + welfare/managerial state.

As for Molyneux's economics: he's not an economist and he doesn't really need to be.
