Me Want

Yet another item for my Christmas list.

In the early to mid-eighties, when I moved in overtly libertarian circles, I was on the right mailing lists to receive a promotional mailing from Greenspan, regarding whatever it was he was doing at the time.  I was astonished later when he was appointed Fed chairman.  A libertarian Fed chairman; how could that happen?  We were relative outcasts, even in Reaganland.

Obviously a good choice.  Though going back in time, Volcker is one of the handful of things that Carter did right, keeping him from being a complete loser.

At any rate, it sounds utterly fascinating, and I’d love to read the whole thing.  I know, my inner economics geek is showing.  Not to mention my unquenchable libertarian tendencies.  How many other people analyze the nature of property, how and why we treat it, and what it would mean to have truly unfettered property rights, while vacuuming the kid’s room?  Surely we are few, far between, and that fact is a relief to many.
