Longest Blog Post Ever
January 12, 2008
For me at least. No not this one. Rather one I started early Friday morning. It was going to be a quick entry about a new book we got for our boys and my appreciation of it. Somehow, though, the post has turned into a critique of logic and our abandonment of it in America. I worked on it some more this morning and it only got more complicated, so instead of delaying my next post until this mini-treatise is complete, I thought I’d drop a quick “sup?” to everyone and tell everyone of my wildly growing excitement for free market economies.
Being a business school grad, you hear “Adam Smith” and “free market stuff” from the very first semester in Econ 101. However, I have taken it for granted and approached it appathetically for quite some time. However, a few projects I have encountered have forced me to look at the topic with a new set of glasses (as they say. Who are “they” by the way?)
Anywho (to avoid another rhyme), I am fascinated with free markets right now and am starting to notice some ways in which our global economy is restricted. (Ok, duh, but how else am I supposed to quickly articulate newfound discoveries my mind is making in a single sentence?) So, it obviously goes without saying that this does not make me an expert economist, but suffice it to say that I am reading and soaking in free market thoughts like crazy right now. More thoughts on this and the conclusion of my super-post soon.
