You may view this as a snipe, but it is more of a BTW.
Co-chair the CATA Walfare Privatization research the the USA is Jose Pinera.
Pinera was a former minister of labor and welfare in Chile (nice dish), -
managed the privatization of Chile's pension system - under the dictatorship
of Gen Pinochet. I would have thought the LP concern about intrusive
government would extend to torture and murder?
As for Austrian Economics, I think you'll find that it has been largely left
to wither on the vine due to its adherence to the gold standard and its
belief that Economics, itself, was a soft science - inflation etc were
disregarded. However, I don't want to be harsh with on AE as it was
revolutionary at the time - I hear a certain individual won the Nobel prize
based on it.

However that's rather a smaller point than (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
