I think any large scale plans tend to hint at all sorts of large central planning type systems, in all political directions.

Something on Tyler Cowen's blog is a path towards Marxism? LOL

The blog owner (Cowan) runs the Mercatus Center at GMU, which exists entirely to explore free market alternatives. It's funded directly by the Koch family; one of the Koch brothers is on the board.[1]

That said, Tyler Cowen's food blog is pretty good, if you live in the Northern VA / Washington DC area.

Actually, that explains a lot of his posed questions.

Another corporatist Koch shill at GMU that shouldn't be considered an economist if Brian Caplan. If you ever see any "insightful" articles by either one of these, run like hell.

Cowen is something of a libertarian AFAIK, and seems to be hard to predictably position. So...
