  3. He is only but beautiful talk. Good economic thinking but too extremist as most austrians are anyways.

    Good topic for a thread. However the poll is pretty much useless, since there are a lot of kook activists out there who will pump up the numbers for the mythic leader of their movement, old school propaganda-style.

    Extremist? Lol if that's what extremist is then you must think I'm crazy. He has to be the most sane politicians I've ever known of so far especially in America.

    And you do know he's from Texas right?

  9. John Maynard Keynes and David Ricardo trader wise... they made $ with their ideas... but I like Hayek views which just got adopted by Friedman anyhow.

    I also like all the genius economists they put on CNBC.:p
