   I lol’d. Hard.

   I have a F.A. Hayek book on my headboard. It is dryer than the Sahara, and I have had trouble getting through the first few pages. But at least I’ve heard of him.

   Ok, I am officialy a nerd when EVERY SINGLE BLOG I READ has now posted this video. It is a great video though.

   I finally got around to watching this and was actually surprised at how good it was. The people that put this together did an excellent job.

   OMG that was fantastic. I wish I was versed enough in economics to proffer an opinion on which one is right :)

   This video is absolutely hilarious! Hayek totally schooled Keynes.

   Shorter video takeaway: we’re screwed either way.

   When I was a kid my Grandad, a lifelong Democrat, gave me an a illustrated pamphlet version of The Road to Serfdom. When I took it to school my 7th grade history teacher acted as if I’d brought a gun into the classroom. Needless to say, that reaction piqued my interest.

    Yo Hayek, I’m happy for ya an’ imaletyoufinish, but Von Mises wrote the best econ book of all time.

    OF ALL TIME!

    Hayek would likely agree , Ludwig was his mentor , I’d also recommend Milton Friedman & Murray Rothbard
