individualism for the masses

Father of Benjamin, husband of Nathalie, BK Marcus works from Charlottesville, Virginia, as managing editor of Mises.org.

He is no longer a house husband, nor a faculty spouse, but he is a homeschooling father, which is much cooler.

"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."

Murray Rothbard

a what-sort-of market, again?

March 6th, 2009 by bkmarcus

“So you can take a market and beat it, tax it, regulate it, subsidize it, flood it with fake money, punish its performers and reward its losers, hobble its capital sector, strangle consumers, nationalize stuff at will, and erect every barrier to trade and cooperation, and STILL call it a market. When the scheme fails, it’s the free market that failed, so clearly we need the totalitarian state to sweep into action.”

Jeffrey Tucker
