The authentic human being is one of us who instinctively knows what he should not do, and, in addition, he will balk at doing it. He will refuse to do it, even if this brings down dread consequences to him and to those whom he loves. This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance. Their deeds may be small, and almost always unnoticed, unmarked by history. Their names are not remembered, nor did these authentic humans expect their names to be remembered. I see their authenticity in an odd way: not in their willingness to perform great heroic deeds but in their quiet refusals. In essence, they cannot be compelled to be what they are not.

Economics Explained 01
In frustration with the shallow and potentially misleading explanations provided by mainstream news media, I’ve created a YouTube playlist: Economics Explained 01 in the hopes that it might help people understand the current financial economic crisis as well as the historical developments that precipitated it.
The playlist contains around 100 videos and features Peter Schiff, Ron Paul and Max Keiser: 3 people who can clearly articulate the issues in a consistent manner (often against strong, yet misinformed opposition) using plain, simple language. If you find the playlist useful, please pass it on to others. I shall be adding to it as future developments unfold.

Mainstream economists…
… rarely discuss the Austrian theory of the business cycle. You’re not seriously relying on them for an explanation, are you?
