Re: A Bar Stool Rebuttal to Robert Barnes, By Ira Katz

My wonderfully insightful colleague Ira Katz has written an excellent piece that expresses many perceptive concerns and observations I have noted and shared over the past several months. Please carefully read it in a spirit of recognition and respect that the subject he addresses is an important one.

There are wise and sagacious persons such as populist Robert Barnes who both Katz and I highly esteem on many crucial issues relating to geopolitical and economic public policy, who we believe have very different and often mistaken understandings of libertarianism, Austrian economics (particularly relating international trade/tariffs, Fed creation of monetary inflation, Eurodollars, and deficits), who view the Mises Institute, and persons such as Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, Peter Schiff, and Murray N. Rothbard in a very different light.
