"I am John Galt" — Donald Luskin at The Atlas Summit – Video

"I am John Galt" -- Donald Luskin at The Atlas Summit
In his book "I Am John Galt," Donald Luskin argues that Nobel-winning economist and op-ed writer Paul Krugman is the perfect living embodiment of Ellsworth Toohey. "The Fountainhead" #39;s hero Howard Roark famously said to Toohey, "But I don #39;t think of you." Roark #39;s strategy was to ignore Toohey--life #39;s too short. Luskin #39;s strategy with Krugman was to engage him publicly, and the result was a smear campaign that nearly destroyed Luskin. He will talk about what happens nowadays when libertarians and Objectivists dare to go public with their views, and take on the powers that be. The personal risks are enormous, and it partly explains why libertarian and Objectivist ideas are discussed so little in public forums. It also explains why only idiots end up running for public office. Donald Luskin is the Chief Investment Officer of Trend Macrolytics. Prior to founding Trend Macrolytics with David Gitlitz, Don was Vice Chairman and co-Chief Investment Officer of Barclays Global Investors. He is an active social commentatory, appearing weekly on CNBC #39;s "Kudlow Report." Don #39;s column is published weekly on SmartMoney.com he contributes frequently to National Review Online. He is the co-author, with Andrew Greta, of "I am John Galt: Today #39;s Heroic Innovators Building the World and the Parasites Destroying It."From:TheAtlasSocietyViews:3 0ratingsTime:56:13More inNews Politics

Libertarian Life-Extension Reforms - #5 - Reestablishing the Doctor-Patient Relationship
The most reliable and effective medical care occurs when both patients and doctors have full sovereignty over medical treatment and payment. A libertarian system is most likely to prolong individual lives and lead to the rapid discovery of unprecedented life-extending treatments. Mr. Stolyarov presents the case for political reforms that maximize patient choice and free-market experimentation with various methods of payment for and provision of medical services.

Tim Carney: Jim DeMint was the libertarian hero of the Senate

Posted on by

For libertarians, Christian conservative pro-lifer Jim DeMint was the best thing to come through the Senate in decades. DeMint, quitting early to run the conservative Heritage Foundation, embodied an underappreciated fact of life in Washington: The politicians who most consistently defend economic liberty are the cultural conservatives.

Libertarian Life-Extension Reforms - #1 - Repeal FDA Approval Requirements
In the first part of his series on pro-liberty reforms that would lengthen human lifespans and accelerate the advent of indefinite human longevity, Mr. Stolyarov discusses the greatest threat to research on indefinite human life extension: the current requirement in the United States (and analogous requirements elsewhere in the Western world) that drugs or treatments may not be used, even on willing patients, unless approval for such drugs or treatments is received from the Food and Drug Administration (or an analogous national regulatory organization in other countries). Such prohibitions on the quick development and marketing of potentially life-saving drugs are not only costly and time-consuming to overcome; they are morally unconscionable in terms of the cost in human lives.

Libertarian Life-Extension Reforms - #2 - Abolishing Medical Licensing Protectionism
There are too few doctors in the West today - not enough to deliver affordable, life-saving treatments, and certainly not enough to ensure that, when life-extending discoveries are made, they will rapidly become available to all. In this second part of his series on pro-liberty reforms that would lengthen human lifespans and accelerate the advent of indefinite human longevity, Mr. Stolyarov advocates for the elimination of compulsory licensing requirements for medical professionals, and the replacement of such a system by a competing market of private certifications for various "tiers" of medical care.
