Ok, it's been awhile since a post. Get back up and running with a link to the Wall Street Journals Top 25 Economics Blogs. I'm gonna have to add some of these to my web haunts.

Well here we are a couple or three weeks into the Fall semester, and I've been mulling over ideas for a research paper in my law and economics class, I've had a couple of ideas such as how the revocation of the DC and Chicago Handgun laws have might effect property laws, (which i think could be a good choice), but a discussion in my Saturday class (yes I said Saturday) about Joint Stock companies and Indentured Servitude got me to thinking. Having property rights is big driver of incentive for innovation.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is bad mouthing the Rush and the rest of the critics "sitting in the cheap seats". That's fine, bad mouth who you want to and they will bad mouth you back, welcome to 2 party system.

Me being an economist in training my thought process tends to be a little different then other people's. About a week ago I was talking to one of the other people in the office about the very topic of opportunity cost.
