Who didn’t see this coming? From the Pew Research Center:
In 2008, for the first time ever, more Americans relied on the Internet for national and international news than on newspapers. In December 2008, 40% of those surveyed said they get most of their news on the Internet, up from 24% in September 2007. 35% still mainly read newspapers, and 70% say television is [...]

Social entrepreneurship is certainly en vogue, but I think the title is ultimately redundant, akin to business ethics. Entrepreneurship and business are inherently social; the study of ethics is not different for business and non-business. Anyway, it’s good to have a quote on this from one of the most famous entrepreneurs, Richard Branson (taken from [...]

On my to-watch list: The Ascent of Money. Here is a description from PBS.org:
In THE ASCENT OF MONEY, author, economist and historian Niall Ferguson traces the evolution of money and demonstrates that financial history is the essential back-story behind all history.
Perhaps others will be interested in watching and commenting on this 2-hour program. From the [...]

The “Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2008 Global Report“ and the “2008 World Bank Group Entrepreneurship Survey” have just been released, accompanied by downloadable data sets (at least the World Bank research).

Just some additional thoughts:
While we can easily say that the division of labor is a good thing regarding “promoting” Austrian ideas–that Dr. Boettke (for example) can promote Austrian ideas as he sees fit, and likewise Dr. Murphy–it seems to me that it is an easy way to end the debate, and contributes to some sort [...]

I read Bob Murphy’s blog quite often and I am amazed at how much he writes, knowing he is also publishing other articles and writing a book. And if you read through his posts, you’ll find he is referencing about 10 other blogs he reads. Some people seem to do the work of 10 men.
Anyway, [...]

I absolutely enjoy anything that points out commonly held ideas and exposing them as false, i.e., destroying myths. Murray Rothbard was great at this. If you look through his articles, you’ll see how many had “myth” in the title. Here’s a quick (but only partial) list:
Myths of the Cold War
The Myth of Efficiency
