Von Mises For The Win. FTW originated in online gaming where players would name an end game tactic that will win them the round, eg “tank rush FTW” or “sniper ambush FTW”.

Let’s see – we got into trouble with wasteful spending – so let’s solve it with MORE wasteful spending – hmmm, that didn’t work – lemme think – duhh! -I’ve got it! – we didn’t waste enough! ….. (ad tedium). Please collect your Nobel Prize, Dr. Krugman.
Actually, in all fairness to plutocratic Republikeynsian warmongers (so-called “alternative” to Obammunism),
cutting inheritance taxes on billionaires while piling up Terabuck defecits of paper money to build F-22 fighters to bomb Afghan wedding parties ain’t gonna cut it any better than Messiah Obama’s stimulus package.

Good article Ilana.

Before I started to read BAB I had never heard of libertarianism or Austrian economics (well perhaps about Austrian economics, but under a different guise – I suppose everyone has heard of Milton etc.).

I believe that part of the reason I find it so alluring is that its basic tenets are simply common sense.

I am a convert.
Keep it up.
