A Serious Warning For You Pro's

Here’s a serious warning for you professionals. From The New American, Bob Aldeman writes:
Obama Needs Your 401(k) to Balance His Budget

Roger Mason’s Monthly Economic Rant paints the picture in unambiguous terms. http://www.economicrant.com/current-article.php

I’m discovering that The Daily Bell is far more than an ordinary daily rag on current events. For example, read this one:
Bank Run 2011?
and this one:
Mises Shakes the World
Both of the above were sent to me in their daily newsletter, a great Free-Market commentary on media presentation of current events.

And what, you might ask, does “Free-Market” mean? They have it all explained in the ‘resources’ section.
"Free market thinking deals with the social arrangements that arise in the absence of coercion by means of violence or the threat of violence." >>>

"The ethical touchstone of free market thinking is consent."
I like that, and, it makes sense.

Alright. So more about what I'm learning here (and 'trying' to pass on).

There are some influences afoot that I had not suspected and am only beginning to discover. So I’m no expert on this subject, but I believe I’ve discovered the people who are, and it's way different from what I might have imagined.

Where to begin…

Well, with this:
“… we think the Austrian economic movement is one of the longest-lived and most important intellectual and ideological conversations in history. And whatever misrepresents it is of similar import, especially if it represents a larger trend.” ~ The Daily Bell

I would argue that this article, as esoteric as it may seem to a neophyte, is a key place to begin in the unraveling of the mystery of Austrian Economics and its significant role in the future of mankind in the era of the falling empire. The article refers to an earlier DB (Daily Bell) commentary on an article in WSJ (Wall Street Journal) stating that “Peter J. Boettke of George Mason University is the emerging standard bearer for a revived Austrian school of economics.” … etc.

And the DB commentary is here. This is where the fun (and self-education in Austrian Economics) begins…
The sequel is here:
and the latest (9-2-10) is here:

Starting with this and following the links and learning about the people behind the names is the adventure of Austrian Economics – a force that is changing the world, one person at a time.

So, the places I’m focusing on now in my unending quest for knowledge are:
The Daily Bell, with all its links and archives – http://thedailybell.com

http://lewrockwell.com/
Lew Rockwell is the co-founder, with Murray Rothbard, of the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Austrian Economics;

and The Ludwig von Mises Institute of Austrian Economics; http://mises.org/

These may seem at first glance to be horribly obscure and possibly insignificant, but I assure you, dear reader, that they are not that, but the roots of understanding how a true “free market” economy works. And like all things good, their absence leaves only ignorance and speculation leading to misunderstanding and corruption based on short-sighted greed.

Oh. And did I mention that this is fundamental economic philosophy followed and espoused by Congressman Ron Paul?
