You make a good point. I shouldn't be so quick to dismiss any informed voices in my newly chosen area of study, even if they do ring of extremism. <BR/><BR/>I've re-subscribed to the Mises blog. <BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>CharlieCharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533945287965379343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863239295252983378.post-85062901357614291832008-12-13T17:33:00.000-06:002008-12-13T17:33:00.000-06:00re-reading my comment, it sounds snarky.I apologiz...re-reading my comment, it sounds snarky.<BR/><BR/>I apologize - I don't mean to be rude!<BR/><BR/>Like Ryan, I'd just encourage you to spend more time with the Austrians before dismissing them. (It helps that he and I largely agree with them, of course - hence our advocacy!). If you have a good reason for shelving them at this point, I'd like to hear it.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, I wish you the best in your studies!Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829528577929628065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863239295252983378.post-77860990281090341702008-12-13T17:30:00.000-06:002008-12-13T17:30:00.000-06:00I don't understand: 1) You admit your ignorance wi...I don't understand: <BR/><BR/>1) You admit your ignorance with respect to economics<BR/><BR/>2) As you are interested in knowing economics, you decide to remedy this ignorance by going back to school, which is good.<BR/><BR/>3) To this end, you announce you'll be 'getting your feet wet' by reading a variety of economic perspectives.<BR/><BR/>4) Without understanding (by your own admission!) the subject you seek to learn about, you dismiss an entire subset of economic thinking (Austrian/Misean) as 'too strident' for your taste, presumably without ever having read any Mises, Hayek, etc.<BR/><BR/>What am I missing?Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829528577929628065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863239295252983378.post-54435215189536311912008-12-12T07:19:00.000-06:002008-12-12T07:19:00.000-06:00Thanks, Clay.
