contender criteria

What makes a Mises.org daily article a "Best of 2005" contender?

Here's what I had to say on the subject for my Best of 2004 nominations:

I don't know what criteria others will use, but for me, a "best article" should teach something foundational and important to a new reader. It should appeal to a neophyte, and it should probably correct a misconception -- since so much of people's implicit economic understanding is based in misconceptions. I want the reader to come away thinking That's so obvious, now! about a claim that first seemed counterintuitive. Based on these criteria, I'd pick Trask's Ten Recurring Fallacies. (Let me know what you think.)

By the way, a bad cold has been keeping my head fuzzy all week, so I probably won't post anything original until I'm healthy again. But if you're bored or just jonesing for bk's take on the world, you might look through last December's posts. That was a good blogging month for me ... and the posts are seasonal!
