Weekend Reading 25
Steven Horwitz, an economics professor at St. Lawrence university, writes An Open Letter to my Friends on the Left about the credit crisis that's been all the news lately. It's an interesting read
Many of you have rightly criticized the ethanol mandate, which made it profitable for corn growers to switch from growing corn for food to corn for fuel, leading to higher food prices worldwide. What's interesting is that you rightly blamed the policy and did not blame greed and the profit motive! The current financial mess is precisely analogous.
