There's a genre of commentary in economics that goes like this: "So-and-so was confusing, impossible to understand, and a terrible writer. But actually, that just shows what a genius he was!" E.g., Marshall on Ricardo Engels on Marx Samuelson on Keynes Any other examples?

I've wanted for a long time to combine my love of MST3K with my academic writing. This is from a recent book chapter on the economics of sci-fi. In it, we use MST3K as an example of a fun way to deal with the many tricky economic problems that tend to pop up in sci-fi.

Great job Shawn and Paul on this discussion of the "forgotten Austrians." This is such a crucial part of the history of the tradition. Also, they should form a musical act called Shawn Paul that plays Austrian-themed reggaeton.

This new collection is a great introduction to Hayek's ideas, and contains some of his most accessible writings. I'm a particular fan of "The Non Sequitur of the ‘Dependence Effect,'" an underrated essay that also has the worst title of all time. mises.org/library/book/h…
