About the author, Robert
Christian and economist, Chief Economist at infineo, and Senior Fellow with the Mises Institute.
I also visited Laissez Faire Books in New York and was invited to a party there. That guy he mentions was Roy Childs. Unfortunately, he passed away.
Just spotted that the ‘about the host’ bio states that Bob is co-host of Contra Krugman. Sadly that is no longer the case.

You know how you were saying about the housing market back in 2006 and none if it made any sense, and those loans were going out the door without scrutiny … well that’s Tesla in 2020 as far as I’m concerned.
