Nassim Taleb sits down for a quite extensive interview based around his new book Anti-Fragile.

Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik wrote a racist slur about Stella Mwangi, a Norway-bas

It's important to register that none of the "47%" talk makes sense--but it does seem remarkably powerful... Last September Mike Konczal gave a good taxonomy:

|Peter Boettke| In his 1922 book Socialism, Mises argued that in the stationary state of equilibrium there would be no problem of economic calculation.  This theme is repeated again in Human Action.  But assuming this establishes the theoretical possibility of economic calculation under socialism commits two fundamental errors: (1) misplaced concreteness, and (2) disregard for the social institutions that are required for economic calculation.

Steven Horwitz Pete has often said that the best reading of Mises is a Hayekian one, and the best reading of Hayek is a Misesian one.  I completely agree, and I've spent energy over the years trying to convince people of the truth of the first half of that aphorism, mostly because it seems that self-proclaimed "Misesians" are more hostile to Hayek than Austrians more favorable to Hayek are to Mises.  But today I offer some evidence for the second half of the aphorism.
