Morning Tidbits

Morning Tidbits
  • Time Magazine is clueless when it comes to writing on economics, but they have a nice little archive collecting all of their covers dealing with the economy. The messages are wrong,  but the covers are great artwork.
  • Bryan Caplan with a nice post over at the Library of Economics and Liberty (Mises and Bastiat on How Democracy Goes Wrong). See their bio of Mises here and of Bastiat here.
  • People drink even more when times are bad. That’s why booze may be good for your financial portfolio. “Over the last five years, stocks of alcoholic-beverage makers have produced average annual returns of 12.7%, vs. yearly declines of 0.7% for the benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index.”
  • Fox’s Neil Cavuto with the top ten signs that customer service stinks.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
