About Me
-
- Name:bkmarcus
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: "It may be safely taken for granted that up to now the natives have learned only evil ways from the Europeans, and not good ones. This is not the fault of the natives, but rather of their European conquerors, who have taught them nothing but evil. They have brought arms and engines of destruction of all kinds to the colonies; they have sent out their worst and most brutal individuals as officials and officers; at the point of the sword they have set up a colonial rule that in its sanguinary cruelty rivals the despotic system of the Bolsheviks." - Liberalism |
To paraphrase a famous statement of Dos Passos ("all right, we are two nations"): every country is really two nations, not one. From one nation--the people interacting voluntarily, in families, churches, science, culture, and the market economy--all blessings flow. The "second nation"--the State--produces nothing; it acts as a parasitic blight upon the first, productive nation: taxing, looting, inflating, controlling, propagandizing, murdering.
