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

Prof. Dolan's AERC lecture is here:

Gary Galles

How old should a monument be to avoid Establishment Clause challenges? Not that old, given the Supreme Court invented the "wall of separation" argument in only 1947.

The ECB's Renewed Attack on Free Markets

Thorsten Polleit

The ECB isn't stopping with government bonds. It will end the current monetary experiment with widespread intervention in corporate debt and all aspects of the market, further destroying what freedom still exists in debt markets.
