Positive Liberty

For the moment, I’m blogging again. My translation project has hit a bit of a snag (so it is with collaborations across more than one state), and I’ll be posting semi-regularly here once more.

To start with, here are a few good links.

The first good link is to… LiNK, or Liberty in North Korea, which is opening an office in Washington, DC. If anywhere in the world needs liberty, surely it’s North Korea.

Meanwhile, in the land of the free, Kip Esquire and I have been debating the use of the gold standard. Yes, a lot of paranoid lunatics hoard gold in fear of the coming apocalypse. But to my mind the reasons for returning to gold currency go far beyond paranoia. In gold, I see a way to take money out of the hands of the state, which in my view would be a very good thing. Kip isn’t convinced.

My favorite non-Positive Liberty blog continues to be In The Agora. Eric Seymour shows why, in a great post on conspiracy theories.

And other than that, it’s good to be back. At least for the time being.
