It’s called supply and demand
April 24th, 2012 · 22 Comments
Creative people, especially writers, are a funny breed. We are the only profession I know of who work for free.

And the consequences for creativity and [...]

I’ve got a lovely expensive chair me, does great things for back pain. I’ve slipped a disc again, and for extra fun I’ve managed to do something to the sciatic nerve so there’s pain in my leg that isn’t actually real (it’s referred pain from the nerve) and that doesn’t respond to things like heat [...]

She was very old when that awful day christened Black Friday took her fortune, just like the famine had taken her family. Her son sat with her on the simple wooden settee she still favored, like a pew in her own church. “It has St. Patrick’s clover on it, and to put a cushion on [...]

The tragedy of it is that while the other dolls have been updated to their modern forms, so the drunk plumber has a mobile phone, the Jew remains stuck as he would have appeared in 1940, there being now too few Jews left in Poland to update the stereotype.

Sunny thinks that: But parodies of films and music aren’t allowed under UK copyright law, unless you have explicit permission of the copyright owner. I didn’t know this either until this week. My response: That’s because it’s not true. You can parody anything you like. You just cannot include someone else’s copyright material in your [...]

The libertarianism of cycling
February 14th, 2012 · 7 Comments
From one of our regulars here an attempt to show that cycling really is very libertarian. I wouldn’t say that I’m entirely convinced of that argument as we’re into in the streets and frightening the horses territory there. As is of course this but then with this I entirely approve.

Natalie Solent proved right about blogging yet again
December 29th, 2011 · 13 Comments
This was and is Ms. Solent’s point about the whole thing. Mr Sumner’s blog not only revealed his market monetarism to the world at large (“I cannot go anywhere in the world of economics…without hearing his name,” says Mr Cowen). It also drew together like-minded economists, many of them at small schools some distance from [...]
