Anybody else see this debate between David Friedman and Robert Murphy? I think Friedman obviously won and is certainly less bad economics than Murphy.

Talk about damning with faint praise.

Unfortunately David has gotten pretty unscientific. He's an ardent climate science "skeptic". I still like him a lot, as my short conversations with him were tons of fun, but it really sticks in my craw that he won't accept climate science on climate change.

I have a weird kind of respect for David Friedman mainly because I think he's among the less nutty of the Ancap crowd and one of the only Ancaps with a decent level of self-awareness, he also doesn't claim his ideas would work perfectly and more importantly isn't an Austrian.

There's also this video where he basically spells out some major issues with deontological libertarianism and basically admits that the theory falls completely flat in some areas and that there are no solutions to arguments he brings up, it's really worth a watch.

Anyone have advice for a university interview, or resources they can recommend? Apparently it involves a lot of graph drawing and game theory.

The UK's new hard left shadow chancellor has recently suggested pushing for a Financial Transaction Tax unironically named the 'Robin Hood Tax', what effects do you think this kind of a tax could have?
