December 23, 2020
For a site that publishes so many controversial opinions, it’s rather odd that one of our most controversial topics is Ebenezer Scrooge. Is he a maligned captain of industry or just someone who clings to old myths of homo economicus and anti-consumption crankery?
In this year’s Christmas edition of Radio Rothbard, Tho Bishop and I debate whether or not Scrooge has much to teach us about economics.
