Jim Miles has written a review of my book, Ron Paul vs. Paul Krugman: Austrian vs. Keynesian economics in the financial crisis.

The reader does not have to be highly knowledgeable about the world of economic theory to understand Ron Paul vs. Paul Krugman. Clearly written, and with an obvious and well supported perspective, the short work highlights some of the aspects of all the political discussions about free markets, government intervention, and how certain authorities—essentially Krugman in this study—are quite willing to change their words to suit their own purposes. Krugman’s main purpose appears to be to avoid accepting any blame for the financial mess that the U.S. and thus the world is currently immersed in.

I am not a fan of economics, as the people I normally associate with economics do not appear to be the brightest intellects in the land, and often seemingly lack common sense. This discussion, by leaving out much of the economic jargon, presents a clear case that Ron Paul has it right and has been consistent, and still is consistent, with his views and advocacy for true free market action.

I’m an independent journalist exposing the state propaganda that manufactures public consent for criminal government policies.

My work examines US foreign policy, market interventionism, and so-called "public health" policy through one consistent lens: an uncompromising application of the non-aggression principle that transcends the narrow linear spectrum of "left" vs. "right".
