When I started blogging, it was my intention to pen some original essays and columns. I quickly got hooked on plan old blogging, which is fun and fills a function. But I have decided to do a weekly column of my own. They will be short as I have a terse writing style and am very lazy.
The first column is about stores I visit that provide good macro examples of good economic precepts:
"I don't have the readership to sell advertising. I don't even have verbal permission to mention these firms, much less encouragement. I bring these institutions up because each in its way validates my belief about economics and politics. Theory in a book is debatable, history is subject to interpretation, and real life has too many variables to stand up to rigorous proof. Yet I see proofs on a macro level, all the time."
