individualism for the masses
BK Marcus is an amateur political economist with no formal education in the subject.
He works from Charlottesville, Virginia as an editorial consultant for the Ludwig von Mises Institute and managing editor of Mises.org.
He is no longer a house husband, nor a faculty spouse, but he is still a dilettante and a layabout, at least in spirit.

"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."

price fixing in ancient Rome

One very frustrating thing about focusing on ancient history, which I’ve written about before, is that almost none of these historians seems to know anything about basic price theory — and the topic seems particularly relevant to Roman history, where present-day historians of ancient Rome are consistently clueless. So I read Forty Centuries of Wage and Price Controls: How Not to Fight Inflation, chapter 2: “The Roman Republic and Empire” and decided it was worth sharing with a broader audience. |
