B.K. Marcus is an amateur political economist with no formal education in the subject. He works from Charlottesville, Virginia, as an editorial consultant for the Ludwig von Mises Institute. He is no longer a house husband, nor a faculty spouse, but he is still a dilettante, and a layabout, at least in spirit.
"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."
Ludwig von Mises: "The essence of the interventionist policy is to take from one group to give to another. It is confiscation and distribution." - Human Action
Free trade not only means unrestricted trade; it also means unsubsidized trade.
