I’m on a very important trip to Oregon where im consulting with Willamette University to help them do a comprehensive review and reform of their economics program. They are super cool doing some amazing things and I’m really enjoying myself here. We’ll try to make an extra interesting show this coming Friday… perhaps its time to talk about the education system and the horrible way in which economics is taught in 99% of schools.

“Chavez invested Venezuela’s oil wealth into social programs including state-run food markets, cash benefits for poor families, free health clinics and education programs. But those gains were meager compared with the spectacular construction projects that oil riches spurred in glittering Middle Eastern cities, including the world’s tallest building in Dubai and plans for branches of the Louvre and Guggenheim museums in Abu Dhabi.” (AP 3/5/13)

libertarians calling to “privatize marriage” hmmmm… Interesting…

But I’m sure they don’t mean to have some private corporation manage our sex and family lives right? Aren’t they actually wanting to say that the political power over such things (property rights) should be REDISTRIBUTED to the people? Libertarian discourse in the US is rarely consistent.
