I Am Academic and Funny All at Once, Insists Colleague
I made Bob Murphy (whom you know from KrugmanDebate.com , I trust) chuckle involuntarily, I discovered thanks to this two-and-a-half-minute video.

I Stand Corrected, Plus Keiser Update
I believe economist Bob Murphy is correct that I misinterpreted one of Sandeep Jaitly’s statements in his now-notorious interview with Max Keiser. I found Jaitly to be well meaning but not a particularly good teacher or clear speaker, so half the time I had to speculate on what he… Read More
Economist Sings ‘Twist and Shout’
Someone captured Bob Murphy ‘s performance of “Twist and Shout,” alongside Fly by Radio , at the concert that took place several days ago during Mises U week. Unfortunately, it was captured on a smartphone and does not fully do Bob justice — he impressed even the non-Mises people there — but… Read More
