The Libertarian
Liquidationist, in an article written by Hank (Henry Moore) titled "Kudos to The Blue Collar Economist," discovered both the review of my Selected Salvos book written by Robert
A. McKeown at The Blue Collar Economist titled Salvos of Fun and Freedom and the article published by me in
Libertarian News Examiner that featured McKeown and his blog that I titled
"The Blue Collar Economist: Libertarian
economics for the rest of us."
Got all that?
In his article Hank
quotes from McKeon's review which includes some of McKeon's quotes of my quotes
and then goes on to quote directly from my article that features McKeon's blog.
Got all that too?
Nothing like
libertarian writers/bloggers/economists cross-pollinating one another for the
benefit of fertilizing minds with the seeds of freedom!
In his article Hank
goes on to chastise me, albeit gently, with "Still, we must be very
careful to separate libertarianism, the ideology, from economics that usually
fits well with libertarian ideas" and "there really is no such thing
as 'libertarian economics.'"
And he's right, of
course. I was using shorthand terms like "libertarian economics" and
"government economics" to quickly and easily distinguish between the
economics of coercion vice the economics of freedom.
Being a
self-admitted economic ignoramus I find this to be an easy and effective rule
of thumb.
If you're curious,
as I was, about the definitions of "Libertarian" and especially
"Liquidationist" as used by these folks you can find the answers at
their Theory Page. All too economysterious for this self-admitted libertarian economic ignoramus.
