Our Man in The Economist

Our Man in The Economist

He only got four letters, (P-a-u-l), but my favorite candidate for president was mentioned in this article in the Economist (NO subscription required for this article) about the effect of the Internet on presidential campaigns.

The name appears in the chart showing prominence on the Internet on YouTube and MySpace. Most of the candidates are represented only on one or the other, and my man appears in the section for MySpace, where he is the leading Republican candidate, no less! His numbers on MySpace are below those of three Republican candidates who don't need to be named over on YouTube, but he's there.

I expect a lot of people will wonder who "Paul" is, and what his last name is. His last name, of course, is freedom.

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.
