I’m with Bryan Caplan: people are resources, and the world needs more of them [1].
Here’s George Selgin on the “local currency” movement [2].
Here’s a video from last-month’s debate at The Urban Institute on the merits of private community associations [3]. (HT Daniel Kuehn) Defending private community associations is the always-wise Bob Nelson. (And here’s an abstract of one of my favorite pieces of research on the topic [4]. 
)
Hmmm….. I wonder, I just wonder, if this [7] might have something to do with rising health-care costs.
David Henderson debates Ian Fletcher [8]. Fletcher clings to the ancient superstition that voluntary exchanges that take place across the political borders of nations are mysteriously transformed by those borders into a class of exchanges fundamentally different than voluntary exchanges that take place within the political borders of nations. And, frankly – as this dialog reveals – he argues as all defenders of indefensible superstitions argue: by distorting others’ arguments and by conflating issues that must be kept separate when doing analyses. It’s to his credit – and my discredit – that David has more patience with such people than I have.
