  Please consider reviewing the NAWR (new american workers revolution) that is sweeping the nation. Free market capitalism with a check on the exploitation of the lower class. This snowball is gaining momentum indeed. www.invisiblepatriot.blogspot.com

  I just heard Jeff delivering his speech with a glowing passion. It was a real pleasure to hear that.

  I hope this doesn't come off as too obsequious, or, to use modern parlance, too fanboyish -- but the Mises Institute should consider having Dr. Woods give a class or two, at Mises University, on speech-writing and delivery. He often notes that the only thing he can do it write; but I'm quite confident he knows that not to be the case, and those who've heard him speak certainly know it's not the case. Tom is an unbelievable orator, and he would he rendering the liberty movement a great service if a lesson or two on 'oratory in defense of liberty' were added to future Mises Universities. (Note: I've never attended a Mises U nor will I be attending this year).

  In regards to "anon" at the top:

  "Free market capitalism with a check on the exploitation of the lower class"

  I just looked at the website and found it to be littered with phrases like "exploited worker", "fair wage", "price gouging laws".

  We know that American workers are far from exploited. Wages are fair because they are defined by the market. And so-called price gouging really is nothing of the sort because prices are simple communications between people that reflect supply and demand.

  Honestly I don't see the connection between stringent regulation of enterprise and free market capitalism.

  Brad,

  It seems that you believes the progression of central planning has contributed little to improved standards of living relative to the evasively defined profit seeking, risk taking entrepreneur. This is mainly done through a perverse handling of technological advancement in isolation - isolated in the sense of a closed loop in which innovation begins and ends with "entrepreneurs". The question of how this is done remains unclear, as the entrepreneur essentially does not produce any tangible item, but generally serves as an intermediary through which applied scientific progress is disseminated through the market.

  Anon,

  You're cause is a worthwhile one. Keep up the good work.
