Education

If the Mises Site is not enough, there is now another source on the web for economic education (this via Jeff Scott):

The Huntsville Times was prompted by Bill Gates’s good comments on education to interview others on the topic, and I was among them.

Jeffrey Tucker interviews Dr. Robert P. Murphy about Education on June 28th, 2005.

Doug French reviews the hit economics book Freakonomics.

Is Freakonomics worth the hype? Yes and no, in Robert Murphy's opinion.

We tend to think of economics as a sterile, number-clotted discipline, writes Colby Cosh, but most of the great economists have antagonized the received wisdom of their day.

Hans Hoppe writes: "If I made one mistake, it was that I was too cooperative and waited too long to go on the offensive."
 

Politcal movements often find themselves hypnotized by the prospect of power and passively obeying the commands of the state to dance, sing, and otherwise perform according to the state’s bidding.

Has academia become so politicized that teaching good economics, and using politically sensitive illustrations, can lead to threats, fines, penalties, demotion and worse? It certainly seemed so in early February when Hans-Hermann Hoppe, a leading student of Murray Rothbard and senior fellow of the Mises Institute, received an egregious letter from the Provost of his university.
