Quote from TRNT : Hmm. You are lucky you married your wife. What if you had married say your girlfriend? That would have been a disaster? This is one of mu pet peeves: for example people on game shows mention that they have been married say for 35 years to their lovely wife. No one ever says they are married to say their plumber or sister in law or their best freind. See what I mean? True story.

You can't just say "married to my lovely." You need a noun or pronoun. Wife seems appropriate if one is married to a woman.

I'm probably overstating the case. It's just some girl I know.

The truth hurts.

Gotta pay attention to the current events on that site. You never know when the numbers might start reversing unexpectedly....

The Journal of Higher Education [chronicle.com]


Covers fairly wide ranging topics with a focus on you guessed it, tertiary education.

I'll recommend some books:

Plato's Republic
Aristotle's Politics
You should read Republic before you read Politics!

Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson, I believe it is a superior read to Hayek's The Road to Serfdom
Keynes' The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money
Optional extra reading:
Hazlitt's The Failure of the 'New Economics': An Analysis of the Keynesian Fallacies

Now, I'm not saying if you haven't read the classics your basically deep in the woods. However, you'll find reading these types of full explanations far more illuminating than post by post websites.

Start a book recommendation thread.

Ill recommend...

Culture Matters: How Values Shape Human Progress by Lawrence Harrison and Samuel Huntington

Anything by Lawrence Harrison really.

City Journal is a British quarterly magazine, probably centrist or slightly to the right, overall, with apparently all the articles available free online since 1995:

Except for The American Interest and Commentary, why all the junk links?

http://www.TheAmericanConservative.com isn't bad.

The smartest radio phone-in program not on NPR is probably John Batchelor [johnbatchelorshow.com], with free podcasts.

Quote from Xygonn : Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson, I believe it is a superior read to Hayek's The Road to Serfdom

No. No, no.

Quote from Xygonn : Keynes' The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money Optional extra reading: Hazlitt's The Failure of the 'New Economics': An Analysis of the Keynesian Fallacies

The Hazlitt books are free online:

Economics in One Lesson [mises.org]

The Failure of the 'New Economics' [mises.org]


I'm not sure how a book written 50 years ago could condemn an economic theory only 25 years older, and history indicates Hazlitt has been wrong, especially considering that virtually all econometric models include Keynesian assumptions, even those from the University of Chicago and the Cato institute. There's also doubt that Hazlett understood Keynes or any higher economics.

Ha! He's right almost every time in Economics in One Lesson. But to anyone who subscribes to the broken window fallacy it must seem horribly wrong.
