Today would have been MNR’s 80th, as mentioned here and here.

I just happened to be going through an archive of old issues of the Free Market today and found this article by Lew Rockwell for Rothbard’s 60th:

March Is Rothbard Month

by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

How sad to hear the news that Harry Browne (born June 17, 1933), author and long-time spokesman for libertarian causes, died yesterday, March 1, 2006. He was a man of great principle who courageously and consistently stood up for liberty even when his position clashed with mainstream political culture and public opinion. He was a great writer who worked hard to turn a phrase in a way that would serve to educate people about free markets and the free society.

Murray Rothbard was born 80 years ago today. Click on the image to see a larger version. Read David Gordon’s summary of his life and work.

The talk I gave at the UFM on “Inflation and Deflation in Capital-based Macroeconomics” is now available online together with the slides.

In the ppt slides I present models that adress the problems of so-called “inflation targeting” and the unsustainable production structure that comes along with a growth-cum.debt strategy.

Two more additions to the Molinari Online Library:
 

For some time now Mises.org has come out squarely in favor of free trade,1 and has opposed the new attacks on trade and “globalization” (notably from Paul Craig Roberts).

Placing the word “economics” into the Google News search engine is quite a dreadful affair. From an Austrian School perspective, it is a surreal look at exactly how bizarre a conception of economics many in the world actually have.

At first glance, you’ll find the Russian Economic Development and Trade Ministry arguing over large-diameter pipe imports. OK, not so bad, hopefully they will decide to abolish the import duties. But, the quality of the search results quickly deteriorate.
