• Cure of Shortage and Famine

  
  Reason for Liberty — Authority: 118

  no third solution — Authority: 493
  One accusation I’ve seen raised against the subjective theory of value is that the Subjectivists are guilty of equivocation, substituting the perception of value (a subjective, self-local opinion) for “value” (defined as a property innate to an object or product).

• George Soros Explains His Worldview

  
  Broken Symmetry — Authority: 423

• Mandelbrot and the Glassy State of the Economy

  
  Broken Symmetry — Authority: 423
  From Fractals and Scaling in Finance , page 367: Everyone agrees that the distribution of firm sizes is far from Gaussian, hence the proper metaphor is not a "soft," but a "hard" object.

  When I read this Amazon review , I got a Christopher Walken-like premonition that Borders will soon die: The bright red cover caught my eye.

  Independent Indian: Work & Life of Dr Subroto Roy — Authority: 125
  From Facebook: Mr Tim Cavanaugh’s clear-headed criticism of a principal government economist’s waffle seems to me apt and exactly on target. E.g. he says: “The real purpose here is Panglossian: to convince you that whatever Power does is the right thing to do, and to discredit the idea that government should ...
