I thought this was well done, and accurate.
Unfortunately, Bernanke was confirmed by the Senate. Hayek would not approve.
I kind of minimized the low interest rate problem before, but I changed by mind after my Dad talked to me about Robert P. Murphy’s “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Depression”. (I got it for him because he liked “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism” so much, as did I!)

Wonderful stuff. I really, really like listening to her talk about these things!
Dr. J’s wonderful blog is here. Please give it a visit! She has really been writing a lot of her own thoughts into her posts lately. It’s very fun and engaging!
It’s too bad that more single women don’t talk about the things that Dr. J talks about. Do you know what single Christian men think of when a single Christian woman comes along and starts talking about the role of husband/father, marriage and children? He thinks about marriage and children, of course, and it’s fun to talk about things like that.

The Problem: Good books are imperative for learning and growing. However, many people read their good books at random. Sporadic or scattered reading may have the small benefit of keeping you interested as you jump from topic to topic — but one problem can be that often the information hasn’t saturated your mind long enough for you to think deeply on that particular subject over an extended period of time.

On the one hand, you can’t deny that Brian is doing a fine job on his current topic, which is the psychology of atheism. On the other hand, from a purely practical point of view, I think that you need to have non-Christian friends to spar with otherwise your motivation for reading deeply will be unsustainable. I find it very discouraging to read about things at an advanced level and to find no one to talk to about it.
Having people to talk to about these things is very important!
