I will pay you $30 cash if you help me commemorate the occasion by starting the following thread at either Mises.org or RonPaulForums.com

Title: Why Austrian Socialism?

Have you read the Review of Austrian Economics lately?

Socialist objectives can be achieved in a market context with the rule of law if market socialism were to take the form of competitive worker-owned and self-managed enterprises, supplemented by universally available welfare redistributions, which could include a basic income, universal capital grants, or education and health insurance vouchers.

The Society for the Development of Austrian Economics gave this communist $1000. This is money they collected $10 at a time from people just like you, who didn’t know that they were funding a communist.

Steve Horwitz is honoring this communist on November 13th at George Mason University.

Benedict Horwitz writes:

Burczak’s book, Socialism after Hayek, represents the first serious scholarly attempt to defend socialism using Hayekian principles. By pairing Burczak’s book with selections from Hayek’s own corpus, this program will offer participants the opportunity to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of this criticism of Hayekian liberalism.

This perversion of Mises’ legacy turns my stomach.

If it turns your stomach too, then why not send the chairman of the GMU Economics Department an e-mail and give him a piece of your mind? dhouser@gmu.edu

Lol, You Had To See This Coming

A collectivist perversion of Austrian economics? It's of course an absurdity that no one who analyzes it for more than five minutes wouldn't see through. But hundreds will be fooled, which I guess makes it worthwhile for the enemy.
