[e-gold-list] RE: cashless society drivel
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Douglas Jackson I would have expected a modicum of critical discernment from the Economist. I once subscribed to _The Economist_ but did not renew my subscription when it ran out. I expected it to be a free market-oriented magazine with an emphasis on sound economic reasoning. To be sure there was some of that, but mostly I found it to be shockingly left-leaning, credulously accepting of claims of the supposed benefits of third-party decision-making by government bureaucrats and highly critical of Americans with our silly ideas about individual liberty. I suspect that part of the problem is that _good_ economists realize that sound economic policy leaves little for an economist to do. I'm not a bit surprised that it gave short shrift to privatized money. --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Could be that they fire everyone when the government changes, which is why they have anonymous articles, but that's just a SWAG... I go over about once a month these days, and,, until this gas-tax thing happened, I couldn't find a living soul (well, okay, about 12 living souls) who confessed to having ever *ever* being Tories.

I too have become more and more ... amused .. with _The Economist_. Fortunately, my huge pile of books arrived from LAISSEZ FAIRE BOOKS in the posts - paid with e-gold. You get a great LFBooks catalog which is worth buying somerthing! JP I once subscribed to _The Economist_ but did not renew my subscription when it ran out.

I don't have the time (and I don't subscribe) but it would be neat to track it's articles vs the markets to see how good of a contrarian indicator it is. I heard that at one point it had an article about how oil was going lower just as oil made an intermediate low and turned around and headed higher.
