Libertarian economics.

When you have time, of course, professor. I would imagine you are quite busy running a hospital, teaching at a university, inventing the cure for horrendous diseases and providing political consulting services... so only when you have time.

Wrong question. Economics is a social science.

Another deflection from Coadie.

I've specifically asked your economic philosophy. But if you want to volunteer which school of "economic science," I'll take that too.

You see, there is both a philosophical perspective, and one that uses controls and numbers to establish theories (like the Austrian method that keeps getting mentioned).

But again... just another deflection.

We are at 65 posts on this topic and still nothing coherent from you about economics. You represent the liberaltarians well.

In a debate, they will just play stupid also?

The question of this thread is about libertrarian economics.

Our economy is in danger and if the Libs tarians can't think about the economy, we need to avoid them. We have enough disaster already.

Maybe instead of playing shrink, you can just state your case. What is it about Libertarian Economics you have an issue with? And careful how you summarize libertarian economics...

We are at 66 posts now. If you'll look back to page 1-3, you'll see I took my time and actually responded to your posts. It wasn't what you wanted, but it was my response. If my response was not coherent to you I'm afraid the problem an internal one for you this time.

I want to read Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead. I was given a copy of Anthem. I read it... passed it on with the condition that the person that reads it passes it on to someone else...

Atlas Shrugged was definitely her magnum opus. I wrestled through it because the Objectivism was so explicit, as was her rejection of the "mystical" and blatant denial of "Original Sin," all of which she attributes to socialism ironically (somehow). Her life in the end was indeed a contradiction (her relationship with a friend's spouse), but her mark on the ideas of limited government has not had a better voice.

Guess who one of Alan Greenspan's greatest influences was? Yup...
