Micha: if you reverse it twice, does it mean that you assert it?

Well I reverse Frank’s reversal. So there. Debating is fun! I don’t need to come up with any substantive arguments; I only need to assert that someone else is wrong. Ingenious!

I hope you’re not planning on posting that horrible ugly great PGP key more than once per thread, Abiola.

Let us be clear. If markets are free, then nothing else is. Hayek got kind of mixed up about that coldest and hardest of observable facts, and ended up, as if at random, throwing a “not” into it, after the “are”. This was a basic and elementary blunder, rather as someone who had spent his entire life hanging by his heels might imagine that water flows uphill; but however understandable it may have been, it does not entitle Hayek to be taken seriously: quite the reverse.

Just to set the record straight, the PrestoPundit blog has been a headquarters of Republican-bashing over the past few months. I’m a flat out liberal, of the classic sort, and the blog reflects that perspective. I’m not any other kind of thing, and I’m certainly not hiding what I am from anybody. I don’t carry water for any party—Republican or Libertarian—and I certainly don’t carry water for President Bush or the Republican Congress. Read the blog and you’ll see there isn’t any cross-dressing or ‘knee-jerk’ Republicanism—and certainly also I don’t pretend to be a “libertarian”. I’m a liberal. You can look it up. I do, however, appreciate you remarks on the Hayek-L email list, wish you call “a good mailing list”. The email list has put on seminars by talented folks of all stripes from across the academic community, and the TAKING HAYEK SERIOUSLY blog will continue in that same tradition.
