Selected Salvos 2 is now WAS on BookDaily and it includes One FREE Article from the book!
BookDaily encourages authors to post excerpts of their books for readers
to read free. They suggest posting an entire chapter, but since my book is only
74 pages long and consists of 20 articles that average 750 words each that
means every article is a chapter in itself. And since each article is so short
you get to read one whole article gratis.
So I've decided to give you the opening salvo. It set's up the
"Playboynomics" meme of the book, which really isn't entirely about
Playboynomics or even entirely about economics but once you think about it
nearly everything in life has an economic component to it. As Mises pointed
out, economics is just Human Action.
HERE ARE A COUPLE OF TEASER PARAGRAPHS:
"TAX DOLLARS FOR SEX SCHOLARS" at
BookDaily
Can't
afford cumquats for your cumquat soup? Getting haircuts every other month to
save a few bucks? Still driving that 1988 Yugo because a down payment for
something better is out of your reach? Northwestern University psychology
Professor Michael Bailey appreciates your sacrifices. He's using your tax money
to pay women $75 a pop to find out, as the New York Post puts it, "what
types of audiovisual erotica women find sexually arousing."
(It's
"audiovisual erotica" when it's taxpayer funded. If you and I pay our
own money to watch it, it's "porno." And don't forget that tax money
funds research on "sexual arousal." Without tax money, it's just
plain old civil society "horniness.")
UPDATE:
Unfortunately my
excerpt has disappeared from BookDaily. They must have stamped it with a Sell By Date I didn't
know about. Fortunately all is not lost. You can still read the excerpt/full
article here:
Thanks anyway
BookDaily.
