In fact, no statist has such understanding or familiarity. I submit that this means they know they are wrong. If they had any confidence, they would engage and refute us.

Over the years, I've encountered a number of Austro-libertarian scholars, economists and experts who consistently mispronounce common names and words in their public talks. Here are a few examples:<br /><br />Jeff Herbener: "Caruso" instead of "Crusoe". <br /><br />Tom DiLorenzo: "MEE-seez&DougDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583417584686449517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890852736639676808.post-21329329585970141292017-12-20T20:51:50.251-05:002017-12-20T20:51:50.251-05:00Her name is pronounced Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosen...Her name is pronounced Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum.<br /><br />“Ayn Rand” is a pen name made up so that she seems to be a tall blonde Scandinavian man.<br /><br />And no, Krugman, Paul Ryan is not an Ayn Rand monetary theorist. <br /><br />Finally, after all these years, I always find myself 2 years older than Krugman. <br />Bob Roddishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263804608074597937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890852736639676808.post-31261425129689873192017-12-20T20:21:54.352-05:002017-12-20T20:21:54.352-05:00Let me guess.
