Tom and Burt Are On Top of Their Game
In Amazon's economics category (HT2LRC), beating out Krugman, Galbraith, and all my friends. Of course, Krugman's book has been out for a while, and I think Galbraith's was written before Lincoln was shot.
Still, good job, Tom and Burt!

I suppose this justifies the continuing total blackout of all mention of the ABCT and the continued cheerleading for bailouts and Keynesian policies among the nation's soon-to-be-bankrupt newspapers. Sure. The Detroit News lost 10% of its readership between April and September 2008. Both the Detroit News and Free Press will soon discontinue home delivery except for Thursday, Saturday and Sunday in order to save precious money.
Nevertheless, to their last dying breath, they will never give up their Keynesian cheerleading. I would think that these papers might try to reach out to, rather than offend, the buyers of Tom Woods' books, if only to gain some readers. In fact, if one reads the comments to most of their on-line articles, generally half of the comments come from a free market perspective and mention the relentless bias of the newspaper. Frankly, I find the behavior the newspapers utterly confounding. What is tragic about all of this is that the casual newspaper reader will never hear of the ABCT.

Well, maybe not by name, but I've had op eds (not in Detroit) that rely on ABCT. And John Taylor's WSJ op ed a week ago was totally ABCT.
