Who can imagine the following (true, really true: prove it to yourself by clicking) first paragraph in the Washington Post:
In the boisterous sea of green robes at George Mason University yesterday was Amir Azad, 18, who is looking forward to some light, summer reading: “Human Action,” by the economist Ludwig von Mises, and “Man, Economy and State,” by Murray Rothbard.

Wow, I’m amazed.
Uh-oh… Azad was quoted as saying “empirical analysis.”
Has he discovered girls yet?
He has time for that yet.
Maybe the author of the article thought the writings of Rothbard and Mises are from the point of view of the logic of the arguments cristal clear compared to Keynes or many modern treaties on economics overloaded with statistics and mathemathical exercises. If a text is logically structured it is definitely easier to read and understand. Thus give the writer of the article the benefit of the doubt.
Or maybe the Post is laying the foundation for some really good propaganda. Perhaps something along the lines of ‘The Austro – Iranian Connection’. Or “Ethel, did you hear that those libertarians are friends with the Ayatollah?”
