Get a grip, preferably on reality.

there's a nice spot of sidewalk caddy corner from the Fed on Nassau & Liberty. Should be Hayek, von Mises, & Dr. Paul.

The artist sounds pretty well-known in NYC, and stated clearly on his fb page: "Friedrich Von Hayek (commissioned by a private collector)." As beautiful as this piece is, and talented as Mr Shihada is, this is not evidence of Austrian economics growing among the artistic community (not organically, anyways). But, it is cool that someone with some money was willing to express their enthusiasm for Austrian economics in this way. So, Cheers to that!

The artist should draw
