Slashdot, Gilligan’s Island and the Mises Institute

The popular Slashdot site, "News for nerds, stuff that matters", has posted a link to the Mises Daily article, The Monetary Economics of Thurston Howell III. You might find the massive discussion this has sparked at Slashdot interesting, 255 comments and counting! Some of them are pretty silly, but some are honest attempts to deal with the arguments for free market money.

Also, Slashdot has a reputation for shutting sites down when it points to a small server and the tens of thousands of Slashdot readers pile on. With justifiable pride, Jeff Tucker notes that "Mises.org had no trouble and never went above 25% CPU usage". Kudos to Jeff and David Veksler who recently revamped the Mises.org servers.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
