This is one of the first LJ entries I've read in months and I find that it doesn't disappoint. This comment actually made me "laugh out loud" for real. It's hillarious understatement, like calling Ghengis Khan a very naughty boy. We should smile though, to see posts like this one. This is what they've got? Smears? Psychologizing? Perhaps it's all they've ever had. At least they can't comfortably ignore Hayek to death anymore. That's got to stick in the crawls of those instinctive statists. They have to say something about him. What I find refreshing about the Austrians is that most of them take ideas seriiously enough to quote their opposition in context and then logically dismantle them. They don't deal in snide aspersions and denigrations of their opponents mental states. I think it would be interesting to compare Pilkington's "debunking" with say, Juan Ramon Rallo's demolition of Keynes's work. (http://www.mises.org/daily/6346/The-Errors-of-Keynes)
