The hot links in my SI post didn't work either, but I can get to them by pasting the addresses in my browser. Did the commas get added to the links?
So, History of Economic Thought is at cepa.newschool.edu New School has peddled some garbage, but my recollection of this comparison site is reasonably fair and honest. http :// cepa.newschool.edu/net/index,htm (knock out the blanks)
The Rise, Decline, and Reemergence of Classical Liberalism is at belmont.edu http ://www. belmont.edu/lockesmith/essay.html
Rather than fill a page with other links, for now I'd suggest two easy little reads. One is Thomas Sowell's A Conflict of Visions. I think he's given remarkable balanced analysis of why we, thee and me, have grossly different interpretations of what's going on.
The other is Charles Murray's What It Means to Be a Libertarian. This is not full of economic analysis, but presents a lot of sources in the book and bibliography to support his theme, which you may or may not find interesting.
These alone prolly won't convert you to a right wing nut like me, but may give insights as to why your opposition might not be altogether nasty or nuts.
You're right about the kind of capitalism we have in the US. For reasons you may discover, I'd argue that we'd be better off with much less government intervention. If we'd let common law evolve wrt enforcement of contracts and adjudication of torts we'd be a more prosperous society.
Who said there were no advantages to growing older?
Believe me, the advantages are grossly outweighed. If you doubt, wanna trade knees and gizzards?
If the formatting comes out as rotten as in the preview, well EXCUUUUUUUSE ME! |
