Highly linkable

Here is the first of what I hope is a regular feature here at MM.

Market Watch has some very sensible advice on retirement don'ts.

Arnold Kling looks at drug prohibition through the lens of his Three Axes. And he also takes on the tasks of persuasion through said lens.

Steve Horwitz explains some confusion about applying the conventional wisdom to the recommendations of Market Monetarist.

Stewart Baker discusses the recent denial of service attacks on banks allegedly propagated by Iran. It is true that regardless of the perpetrators this is not the equivalent of the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor.

Don Boudreaux takes a great, final for now, shot at explaining the problem with writing off debt we "owe to ourselves".

Mungowitz reminds us that incentives not intentions matter.

And Steve Landsburg's head hurts.
