More Hulsmann!

Writes Alex McGrady: “I have to remark again the extraordinary power of the new podcasts. By hearing Dr. Hulsmann speak (rather than just reading his words) we are impressed with his enormous erudition, his literal command of his subject, and his quite remarkable articulateness. In explaining the boom/bust cycle, he makes quite clear, in just a few minutes, what is for most people a dauntingly complex phenomenon.

“I don’t want to write a congratulatory note for each new podcast, but I am in fact moved to do so because it is so rewarding to hear these gentlemen speak. The thing that draws one to the Austrian School in the first instance is the obvious brilliance of the minds that adhere to it (Mises, Rothbard, et al), and the thorough-going reasonableness of its expositors. The podcasts somehow bring these attributes out all the more clearly. Do keep up this powerful medium.”
