Writes Ed Dolan, the 2014 F.A. Hayek Memorial Lecturer at the Austrian Economics Research Conference:

Today on my blog I posted the second in a two-part series on Austrian environmental economics and emissions trading, based in part on the Hayek lecture I gave at the Mises Institute conference in Auburn last month. I thought that some of the readers of your blogs might be interested in it. I am sure you and your readers will find parts of it controversial, and I would very much like to get a discussion going. Here are the links: Part 1 and Part 2

The Problem with Elizabeth Warren’s Wealth-Tax Plan

Germinal G. Van

Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax is based on the idea that the government knows how to use wealth better than the private sector. The plan also ignores that the wealthy have been shown to flee countries with a wealth tax.
