CB, <<taking Macroeconomics from someone who is using books by Von Mises and Rothbard as texts>> ... is perhaps the wisest way forward, before and after taking courses offering newer ways of economic thought ala friedman and co.

CB, the pressure is on for China to revalue it's currency upward compared to the US dollar, not to devalue it. Right now China's currency is artificially pegged to the U.S. dollar, and therefore falling along with it compared to other currencies such as the yen. This imbalance is creating stresses and strains.

But that's about as much as I know. Thinking about more than once currency gives me a headache.

Hi CB,

He will be taking Macroeconomics from someone who is using books by Von Mises and Rothbard as texts.

Given the general regressive direction in which fiat currencies seem to be headed, your son might be better off ignoring the collective wisdom of Von Mises and Rothbard and instead concentrate on the random musings of Flintstone and Rubble... <g>
