No-one has mentioned George Reisman (including me. I forgot)
I haven't read Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics yet, but I have read one chapter and numerous other papers by him. |

Well, I'll give it a go. Andy Xie (mucho). David Rosenberg. Mises. Rothbard. The "Austrians". Anybody is has demonstrated a pattern of accuracy and independence. Stephen S. Roach.
Peter Schiff, Ron Paul, Jim Rodgers et al are not really economists. I don't really know what an economist is anymore. But they've demonstrated a pattern of accuracy and extreme independence. |
Hoppe is an "Austrian". Have you heard of him? |

What makes one an economist? Do you really need a PhD from the University of Chicago to be considered an 'economist'? I thought Peter Schiff's highest degree attained was a BS in finance yet all the networks refer to him as an economist.
But really though, I've always looked at economics as something of a riddle. The question: How to survive in world of scarce resources and infinite demand? So it's easy to see why everyone's got a different opinion on economics. |

Yeah. He's an anarchist, though I enjoy his work. He had some problems with the PC police at UNLV. I think FIRE (the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) sorted it out for him. |

I would call him a feudalist. |

| Ah, right. He wants a monarchy. It's been a while since I've dove into the Lew Rockwell camp. |

| Well, for excellent reasons he prefers monarchy to democracy, but monarchy isn't what he really wants. I can't get into it here. You should read 'Democracy', if you haven't already. |

Actually, I like his criticism (as I remember it) of democracy. Lew Rockwell is a guy who runs a website (lewrockwell.com). It is the center of all hypterlibertarian thought on the web. HHH writes there from time to time.

Dr. Lee Warren obviously isn't going to win a Nobel Prize, but he's so much more in touch with the realities of the economy than BS artists like Krugman or some of these people who use charts, wave theories, and so on.

A Marx quoting post Keynesian who slams the Austrians, I can see the attraction. |
